I read your story with interest. let me state a bit more about how the Tax Debt Settlement Companies work. Let me state in the beginning - I used to be affiliated with one of them (not RLD). I am an Enrolled Agent who actually did the tax negotiations. I stopped working with the Tax Settlement Company becaus ethey consistently over-promised to client more than could possibly be delivered. For over a year I pleaded with them to stop doing this - to use some reasonable care to filter out the impossible cases (like yours) that could not be compromised and scale back the promised outcome to an Installment Agreement. they refused to do this and I stopped accepting cases fropm them. It has been more than a year after I stopped accepting cases and I still have cases open that I just cannot get a viable Offer on. You were right to consult someone locally. That way you can talk with that person and get answers. I only accept Offers from the Tucson AZ area where my office is located because of that. The bottom line is - a salesman will tell you anything uyou want to hear to get the sale, and once that end is achieved, the salesman couldn't care less what happens, because you are now someone else's problem.

Jim, The only thing that will get you in jail with the IRS is tax fraud. That is the only thing that is criminal. Everything else is just BS. Even if you owe money and don't pay it, the only options they have are garnishments and siezures. There is a limit to what they can take from your pay. Roni Lynn Deutch is a scam artist and thief. You should file a bar association complaint against her immediately, and a lawsuit to recover your money. That is simple fraud and malpractice. The IRS website clearly explains OFFER IN COMPROMISE and the fact that very few people will qualify for it. You can do an offer in compromise yourself at any IRS office that stands a better chance than what you paid Deutch for. I do see that she has changed her commercial and is now back on TV after it being gone for a while. She no longer claims a pennies on the dollar settlement. She is a genuine scumbag.
