In this episode, I welcome back Gerry Delang, founder of End Tax Problems Now, a firm he started in 2001 to help individuals and businesses resolve complex IRS issues. Gerry is who I call the "stress reliever", because when you're facing the most feared collection agency in the world, you need someone who knows how to fight back and win.
We talk about what really happens when you get that dreaded IRS letter, why paying without question is the biggest mistake you can make, and how Gerry has successfully represented thousands of clients, including me during the 2008 crash. He also shares recent stories, common traps to avoid, and why most IRS issues are nothing to be ashamed of.
If you're an investor, entrepreneur, or anyone who's ever dealt with tax stress, this episode could save you thousands of dollars and a ton of sleepless nights.
