Any attorneys out there? Tax lien situation whereby IRS has garnished wages to the point of poverty; remedies?

wava asked:


This info is for a freind whom has consulted w/ an atty. and stated that the only option is a settlement. This party does not have the money for a settlement nor enough assets to sell off to erase the tax liability. All wages garnished and personal asset(s) i.e. car has lien attached. Bankruptcy won’t work due to this is non-dischargeable debt. This person understands the need to pay and has a good job-salary, but the IRS has left her/him with $333 to live on ea. month. Bascially poverty-stricken. No doubt the gov’t has legal basis to due this, but, but, I believe it’s unfair/ unjust to propel a person into dire straits with collection efforts. If the garnishment was not at the present level e.g. leaving this person with say $1000 to live on monthly, it would be affordable. I don’t think the IRS… tax system, was setup to render a preson homeless or otherwise. Thank you for any assistance.

Do those commercials for attorneys helping people eliminate tax debt bug you like they do me?

They’re on all the time, and I just watched one with a woman who supposedly saved over $1.7 million in back taxes. Now, I don’t know about most Americans, but I don’t watch those things and go, Whooowee! That is awesome! I really hope and pray that the majority of what those people are eliminating is truly penalties and interest, because otherwise it sucks, and I think those people (who seem to be mostly business owners) should be paying their taxes just like everyone else. And here’s another thing I wanna know: From what type of funds are those attorneys being paid?? No doubt, they are making a nice little profit, like disability lawyers.
