Who Tries to Scare You More: The IRS or Tax Resolution Experts?

Only about 10% of taxpayers with tax debt hire professionals to help resolve it. The other 90% either deal with it themselves, ignore it, or fall prey to fear-based marketing. Let's talk about why.

The IRS Scare Tactics

The IRS uses its authority to motivate compliance. Letters about liens, levies, wage garnishments, and asset seizures can be terrifying. And make no mistake, the IRS has real power to enforce collection. But the reality is that the IRS also has programs designed to help taxpayers who genuinely cannot pay.

The Tax Resolution Industry Problem

On the flip side, many tax resolution companies use equally aggressive scare tactics in their advertising. They exaggerate the threat of IRS action to drive fear-based decisions. Some charge thousands of dollars upfront for services that may not deliver results.
