THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 11, 2024 Page 17 OBITUARIES Josephine Morrissey Jhi Mi B orn on November 26, 1931, In Revere, was a beacon of love, laughter, and life. She remained a loyal member of St Anthony’s in Revere regularly enjoying Mass and bingo. Her infectious energy, shared generously with all those she met, was as vibrant as the neon lights of the casinos she so loved to visit. She embodied the spirit of the quote, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” And in her 92 years, Josephine created countless breathtaking moments for her loved ones. She worked many years for the New England Telephone Company and as an accomplished bookkeeper for many diff erent businesses. Her favorite job was doing the books for her good friend Ed Doherty’s various car washes. It was outside the offi ce where Josephine truly shined. She had a remarkable ability to illuminate the ordinary, turning a simple family dinner into a cherished memory. Her love for her friends and family especially her grandchildren was a shining testament to her capacity for love.

Her grandchildren Nicole Dilger and her husband Tyler of Winthrop, Jianna Balian of Winthrop and Stephanie Dulsky and her husband Jack of San Francisco, Ca. and her great grandson Lucas Mason of Winthrop. She is also survived by an extraordinary number of nieces and nephews.

NON MASSACHUSETTS REAL ESTATE IRS OFFER IN COMPROMISE SCAMS T he Internal Revenue Service has recently warned of scam artists claiming that their services are necessary in order to resolve outstanding federal income tax issues. 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 In recognition of his abilities on the football field, where he played in both high school and college, he was named to the All-Vermont team in 1951. After graduating from St. Michael’s college (where he remained a loyal alum) he went on to receive his master’s in education degree from Boston University.

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.
