It’s Time to Get Real and Face the Debt 

IRS debt is the last financial burden you want to worry about in these uncertain times. If a letter from the IRS has found its way to you, it’s easy to freeze and not know where to start.

To help you understand where you could stand with the IRS, we have developed a no-pressure quiz. If you score more than 5 points, it’s worth reading the rest of the article.
