Some roles of the IRS problem solvers includes offering solutions to issues in regards to unfilled tax returns, tax debt left by spouse and penalty debate.
An IRS problem solver is a professional who provides advice and aid in resolving many issues that arise with paying taxes, including paying back taxes. If you are confused about how to pay your back taxes without facing more dire circumstances, an IRS problem solver should be able to help.
Gather your tax records for the past few years and make sure that you have paid taxes for those years. If you paid with a personal check or with a credit card, make a copy of those payments that show when the payments were accepted. Call the 800 number for IRS and speak with a representative and tell him / her that you are disputing the claim that you owe back taxes. If you still have issues resolving this problem, contact a good CPA who can advise you as to how to solve this problem. Make sure the letter is, indeed, from IRS and not some fraudulent attempt to try to scam you or get your personal information.
If you are experiencing an IRS e-file problem, you should first check for any error messages and try to resolve them. If you are unable to fix the issue, you can contact the IRS e-help Desk for assistance.

Depends on the type of problem. Enrolled Agents, CPAs, Lawyers and the IRS complaint resolution system itself are all possibilities. The last especially if your problem is with the IRS, not really with your understanding or failure to comply with the tax laws...the IRS has limited discretion with what it can do except adhere to the laws and rules....however a lawyer may help define the problem and their response.
The IRS will eventually discover their error and will come collecting. The IRS will send out a letter explaining the situation and asking that you pay back the amount of excess refund. If you have already spent the excess, you are still required to pay. Call the IRS immediately to fix the problem. The IRS will collect on the money owed as they would back taxes.
TurboTax and the IRS may have different timelines for processing tax returns. TurboTax notifies you when your return is accepted by the IRS, but the IRS may still be processing it. This discrepancy is normal and does not necessarily indicate a problem with your return.
Yes some pension income can be seized by the IRS.
Who you contact when you have an IRS problem depends on the nature of your problem. Attorneys, CPAs and Enrolled Agents (EA) are all authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Each one of these representatives has their unique value. In my opinion, the only reason to hire an attorney is if your case borders on the line of criminal. An attorney can not only help resolve your IRS problem, but he or she can also represent you in court if it comes down to that. Keep in mind that attorneys are usually much more expensive than CPAs or EAs. If all you have are IRS issues with no criminal activity, hiring a CPA or an EA will be just fine.
Debts to the IRS are confidential; the IRS cannot disclose the debt unless they bring a civil suit to get the money.
