Follow on Google News | Tax Relief Providers Seek Clarification from New FTC Debt Settlement RegulationsNew Federal Trade Commission provisions to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) contradict federal tax law.
By: Debbie Edwards “There is no doubt that many providers of tax resolution services make unreasonable claims and are guilty of consumer abuse,” said Lawrence Lawler, National Director of the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers (ASTPS). “However, IRS and other agencies have the power under existing regulations to eliminate the ‘bad apples’ without damaging good practitioners in the process.” The FTC TSR amendment references tax debt as “unsecured.” “Since all tax debts owed the government are secured from the moment the tax is assessed, tax relief providers by definition should be exempt from the TSR,” said Michael Rozbruch, CEO of Tax Resolution Services, Co., an Inc. 5000 company. “We are grateful that the FTC has been active in bringing enforcement actions to stamp out unethical tax debt relief firms. However we need clarification from the FTC about the application of the TSR to tax debt relief companies so we can continue to serve taxpayers concerned about IRS audits and their collection tactics.” Rozbruch adds that resolving tax debt can be a complicated and highly technical process, especially if taxpayers are under audit and/or owe $25,000 or more to the IRS. Consumers should be weary of easy IRS solutions or software substitutes offered on the Internet, in lieu of professional representation from a practicing ASTPS member or practitioner with the Certified Tax Resolution Specialist credential who is experienced in negotiating with the IRS.
