I was swept over to learn that I could not pay the taxes that I owed last year. Because I felt so overwhelmed, I did what I later found out is one of the worst things people in this situation do – I did nothing. I made matter worse by hiding from my responsibilities. My way of thinking at that time was “I don’t have this money so I can’t do anything at all” instead of doing my best to reach an agreement with the IRS.

Someone even suggested that I should just save some money from each paycheck with the purpose of catching up on what I owed, plus the penalties and interest. I listened to this idea and started setting aside money each week since this was a trusted friend with a good head for business on her shoulders. When IRS placed a levy against my bank account, this plan soon failed.

The fact that the Internal Revenue Service actually had the power to take control of my savings and checking accounts I had been with for more than 20 years never entered my thoughts. I assumed as a loyal customer plus the fact that I own that account would mean that no one had the power to get into the account besides me. But then, I was wrong.

The feeling is like wind being knocked out of your lungs. Like someone sucker-punched you in the gut? That was exactly how I felt when I knew about the bank levy. Getting sunk into a state of panic and then felt hopeless.

With the intention of learning all that I could about IRS tax levies and what kinds of rights I had as a tax payer and citizen, I sat down at the computer when I was able to crawl out from under the covers and face the music. Imagine how flooded I was when I got thousands of results from Google. I don’t know how to look on all the information online. It would take months. I could not deal with the pressure of the actual problem, let alone educating myself on this huge problem I had created. Preferred Tax Relief came up on the first page when I narrowed my search on Google and get more targeted results.

I spent half-hour reading through their web site and decided that this was where I belonged. Within seconds after dialing the phone and took a breath to calm myself, I was speaking with someone who not only knew what I am experiencing but as well as been on the other side of the table – he was a former IRS agent!

I do not know how to start sharing to you how it felt to come across Preferred Tax Relief. It was like the proverbial weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

When I trusted Preferred Tax Relief to take care of my tax debt, I was able to rest my mind and concentrate on my business, making more income for myself and my family. They got rid of the tax levy on my bank account and made arrangements for us to make monthly payments that fit within our budget.

We were finally able to breathe again. It is amazing because we did not realize how stressed out we were during this ordeal until Preferred Tax Relief took over. Suddenly, we had more time to enjoy ourselves and our family, rather than letting the stress and worry take over every waking hour of the day (and awaken us at night).
