A little background to my story
A little background to my story. I owned a business in the South West, that was doing well and was prosperous. At about the middle of the year my VP and another employee decided they wanted to start their own business, but without all the hard work. They began to steal my clients and employees. They slandered my company to our clients, stating that my business had gone under and all my company’s invoice checks were to go directly to them. I caught wind of this and began damage control. Unfortunately, things went south from there. The company’s revenue declined swiftly, and I struggled to make it through each payday. I had 15 employees who depended on me to keep them employed. They had families and needed to keep food on the table. Every dollar I could find went to payroll. My partner and I did not collect a paycheck while we were trying to turn this disaster around. We kept falling behind and I was forced to start looking for ways to save as many employee’s jobs as possible. Eventually I ran out of time and money. Let me just say, Uncle Sam was not appreciative of our methods for keeping our people employed. The company fell behind four quarters in payroll taxes and the business was going under. Now desperate, I reached out to Blueprint Resolution Services, and spoke with Jenn and she began the process of negotiation with the IRS. Christopher, President & Lead Case Manager, reached out to me shortly after my conversation with Jenn. Jenn and Christopher worked directly with the IRS Revenue Agent assigned to my case and they were my shield as I trekked through this. When I had my face to face meeting with the IRS Agent, Christopher was right there with me via phone. (Blueprint is based out of Colorado). I felt extremely comfortable knowing that I had these great people behind me. They maintained communication with me, coaching and guiding me to ensure that I took all the proper steps. Blueprint was able to negotiate the business portion of the taxes and arrange a payment plan which provided me the maximum benefit possible. They also worked with the revenue officer to place the closed business into a defunct entity status which resulted in me not having to pay additional penalties and interest. Were it not for Blueprint and these great folks, working diligently on my behalf, I seriously do not know where I would be today. Thank you, Christopher and Jenn!
