Often times, these “mills” charge excessive fees many times with no results. These mills will often make false statements of their ability to settle IRS debts for pennies on the dollar. They will also make the claim that there is not much time provided to the taxpayer in order to compromise the debt with the IRS. The Off er in Compromise (OIC) program is a legitimate program offered by the IRS. A taxpayer will need to meet all of the requirements in order to be able to settle with the IRS for a reduced amount of federal income taxes owed. IRS Form 656, Off er in Compromise, needs to be completed and submitted to the IRS. In addition, Form 433-A, Collection Information Statement for Individuals and Form 433-B, Collection Information for Businesses (if applicable) would also have to be submitted to the IRS. The OIC program is not an easy program to quality for. The IRS will review your income and assets in order to determine your ability to pay. If a taxpayer was unemployed with very little assets, that individual would be a good candidate to submit off er in compromise paperwork to the IRS. You can learn more about the Offer In Compromise program by visiting www. irs.gov. The IRS has an Off er In Compromise Pre-Qualifi - er Tool that you can use in order to determine if you might initially qualify for a reduction in your tax liability. You can also apply for a payment plan on the irs.gov website. For taxpayers that owe less than $100,000, a short-term payment plan will provide the taxpayer with an extra 180 days to pay the tax in full. For taxpayers that owe less than $50,000, a long-term payment plan will provide the taxpayer the opportunity to make monthly payments over a period of up to 72 months. So be careful with these companies that promise you the world. I’ve seen instances where more money gets paid to these companies than gets paid to the IRS in order to reduce the amount of taxes owed.

As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” – another 9/11 has come and gone. Hope all had a moment to refl ect on that day for those who died so tragically. And heroically – especially United Flight 93 passengers – for the everyday working heroes of that day, the brave fi rst responders who were downright supermen and women. I sat in shock that morning as an employee of Hewlett Packard and listened as coworker Betty wept uncontrollably next cubicle over as the morning unment, Paul began wintering in Naples Florida.

Here is another remembrance of that infamous morning. Former MHS Principal Dana Brown who always has the best words articulated on the day as only Dana Brown can: “I was at the Emerson School in a Community Schools meeting with (the late great) Brendan Duff y, Bailey Weiss and others. Someone came running into the meeting and told us to turn on the TV...we watched in shock. The meeting quickly adjourned, and I found a phone. I called my wife, and we devised the ‘if another plane attacks’ plan. She would go to the Salemwood and pick up my youngest. I was to go to the high school and pick up my eldest daughter. We would then meet at home and wait. Confused, dumbstruck; no one could say with certainty what was happening. The next hours, days, and weeks would prove to be at once sobering, uplifting, and challenging for our local community and our country. We found heroes and villains. We found some hope. Some lessons were learned. Some have already been forgotPhilip R. Derrick Of Malden. On October 2, 2024, at age 69. Beloved husband of Mary V.

Life changed for sure. Pray for all the survivors, the victims, the responders, and their families. Pray for our enemies.” Postscript 1: On a Stella Pinkham personal note, I have known Stella, basically, my entire life. We moved to Malden in 1963 and shortly after entering Emerson we were introduced to the many friends and neighbors we called friends and neighbors for many, many years – Stella along with Nancy Cagno, Anna Magistro, Laura Damiano and Pat O’Conner becoming part of that close-knit Edgeworth community. A sweetheart of a woman – Stella, she of that sparkling personality – has never failed to make me smile. Her Sicilian Pizza? Fuhgeddaboudit!
