Thoughts
I am still working on getting things set up for this virtual business. I was thinking of marketing, fees, software, etc.
I wanted to touch on a marketing letter a taxpayer received when I was an RO. They called me because they thought it came from the IRS. I received a copy and discovered it was a marketing letter from a tax resolution firm.
It said it was being sent from a taxing authority (IRS, state, city,etc) but nothing specific. Closer inspection showed it was a marketing letter. What disturbed me about it was that it could have been taken for an actual notice and if you did not call them immediately you would be thrown in jail and other nasty stuff.
Just saying be careful when looking at that kind of stuff. I am not saying the company was not reputable. Just their marketing through scare tactics should be reported to the representative you are using or the Revenue Officer/Agent you are working with.
