Tax Resolution Is A Secret - Part I

Depending on which dictionary you use you will find various meanings of the word “secret.” One definition is as follows, “designed or working to escape notice, knowledge, or observation.” Another definition is this, “kept from the knowledge of any but the initiated or privileged.” With these two definitions in mind consider the Internal Revenue Code. The code (tax law) has over 60,000 pages. Buried deep within this enormously complex “code” lies the answer(s) to ALL tax related problems. The problem is taking the time to read and understand the code. Therefore I raise the argument that effective tax resolution is in fact a secret.

Consider the first definition of the word secret listed above, “designed or working to escape notice, knowledge, or observation.” The tax code has been designed in such a way that provisions in the tax code that provide relief to taxpayers suffering with an oppressive tax debt easily “escape notice, knowledge and observation” of the common taxpayer. Therefore tax resolution is a secret. Consider the second definition, “kept from the knowledge of any but the initiated or privileged.” In this definition “the initiated” represents the writers of the tax law. These are the individuals who write the laws and make the rules. Therefore they are the “privileged.”

Therefore it is a true statement that tax resolution is indeed a secret. The tax laws are written in such a way that provisions of the code that would help taxpayers pay LESS than they owe is kept a secret from the taxpayer thus subjecting them to the full force of maximum taxation. The only way to overcome this obstacle is to hire someone who knows the laws and the rules. Enrolled agents is one group of individuals that can help taxpayers have a more even playing field when dealing with the IRS.
