Warning From Instant Tax Solutions: Scams Are Targeting Taxpayers
Recently, notes Instant Tax Solutions, scams regarding IRS refunds have been popping up in churches across the country.

This is false, says Instant Tax Solutions. Scams claiming expired credits and rebates can be recouped are also running around. Self-employment, says Instant Tax Solutions, scams have taxpayers inflating income to get the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Instant Tax Solutions: Tax Scams and Avoiding Them
The IRS reports, according to Instant Tax Solutions, scams targeting taxpayers are increasing. It is advised to avoid any tax firm that claims refunds may be given on Social Security benefits. Treasury Form 1080 has been used, adds Instant Tax Solutions, in scams claiming that it may be used to transfer money from the SS fund. Other tax firms to avoid are those teaming with local churches – often they aim to target trusting devotees at their place of worship. As noted by Instant Tax Solutions, scams have no place in church and the firm is devastated to read on the Internal Revenue Service website about this happening.
According to Instant Tax Solutions, the IRS bases your installments on the amount of debt owed. Taxpayers owing less than $10,000 are given three years to repay the debt. $10,000-$25,000 debts must be paid back in sixty months. This requires a special form your Instant Tax Solutions representative can walk you through. If you owe more than $25,000, an Instant Tax Solutions employee can help you negotiate a Partial Payment Agreement with the IRS.
