I will pay 75 points for the winning advise, or, most positive direction I should turn to when hiring a professional party to help me out of this ugly mess [i] am responsible for.
I will choose a runner-up adviser and pay him/her 25 points. Only 2 winners, though, and the winner or winners, will get more credibility for the earliest post, plus, the soundest advice.
I confess, I was blindsided with some huge tax bills I was not even aware of existed. It came in like a thunderbolt of lightning. Kaboom!
Without going into any personal details, I need some honest advice on who to turn to.
Is the cheapest was to go by hiring a CPA? I've already looked at professional Tax Helpers. [not CPA]
One business wants 1800.00 up front, or 600 in three payments.. The other wanted 2500.00. The latter said I could pay on an installment plan. Both claim to able to cut my bill by 70% to 90%! The second party couldn't believe the first party would only charge 1800!
I reside in Indiana and the bill is a bit under 20,000. 90% is owed to Uncle and 10% the In. IRS.
Since I have never had this problem with Uncle Sam before, I am afraid I could hire the wrong party, or, the dishonest party.
Who has some experienced advice they want to offer?
* 75 points to the first post that does both:
1. Explain some options in simple detail?
2. *The CPA ,or, the Profession Business I should likely chose to hire?
*Sorry, but there will only have one winner for the 75 points and one winner for the 25 point runner-up position! For any other advisers, thank you!
**This offer is only good til this Friday at 12:01 AM. I will either have a winner picked , or, restart the offer sometime Friday afternoon? [ could be a tweak, though?]
