Product Description
Every year, the IRS issues more than 34 million penalty notices to individuals and small businesses. What you may not know is that many of these notices are wrong. If you receive one, you may not have to pay it. You also don't have to hire an expensive tax professional in order to challenge these penalties and stand up to the IRS. Written by a former IRS attorney, Tax This! is designed to give you an inside track in your negotiations with the IRS by showing you how to level the playing field and win at the tax game. This practical book covers everything you need to know about the IRS audit process, from the time your return is chosen for audit to the appeals procedure. It also includes information on some little-known tools available to every taxpayer that will help you tackle the IRS and win.
Includes current advice on: Finding out what the IRS knows about you - and what it doesn't know, abating tax penalties, making tax payments by installment, paying pennies on the dollar to resolve your tax debt, saving on taxes in small businesses, getting a Federal Tax Lien released, and surviving an IRS criminal investigation.

Great advice, 2005-09-18
This is good, solid advice for dealing with the IRS. The authors credentials make it very valuable because he comes from the "other side" and can tell taxpayers how the IRS really works. He truly is an "insider."
His book is not a lot of hype on tricky loopholes, but very solid advice for dealing with what can be a very frightening situation. I've interviewed Scott for my Internet radio show, EverydayWealth Radio, and found him to be a very conscientious caring resource for dealing with tax issues. I recommend this book and his other resources!

Tax This: A Great Resource, 2003-04-29
"Tax This" is a great resource for individuals, small businesses, and self-employed persons, like myself. From the general IRS and tax system information to the rules for dealing with an actual IRS audit, this book has all the information you'll need. The section on how to handle IRS Penalties and Notices and the the chapters on negotiating with the IRS were very informative and designed to save money. If you are currently involved in an IRS audit and want to know how to defend yorself or if you simply want to know some strategies for reducing your odds of being selected for an IRS audit this book is for you. I would recommend it for any taxpayer.

Great insight into dealing with the IRS, 2003-04-27
If you're faced with an encounter with the IRS, I would highly recommend getting this book for starters. Most tax experts will tend to steer you in one of two directions: knuckle under or fight the IRS up to and including jail time (for you, not the expert.) You need to understand what your options are before you seek outside help because all too often the outside help has an agenda that is not in your best interests.This book does an outstanding job of laying out realistic stategies and options for helping you with tax issues and for working with, rather than against, the IRS to obtain the best possible outcome. It offers a refreshing change in the tax literature. By offering well-grounded, honest advice in a well-written fashion, this book should be in the hands of anyone seeking to resolve a tax problem without "giving away the farm" to the IRS.
Learn what your options are and how best to work with the IRS and you'll save yourself a lot of grief and a lot of green.
