Legal Question in Tax Law in New Jersey

Back taxes were owed by a couple from a sale of a business. They filed jointly, the wife passed in June of 2007. A lien was placed on their property in both names after she passed. An offer in compromise was made after she passed for the husband, for the tax debt, it was accepted and paid in full in 2008.

The IRS is now sending letters that the wifes owes taxes from the same year.

What recourse is there ? this tax debt was supposed to be resolved by the accepted and paid "offer in compromise" ?

Did you have an attorney handle that for you? If so, the same attorney should work that out for you. Otherwise, you should get an attorney now to handle that. I handle tax evasion and it doesn't seem like you are there (yet anyway). So I can refer you to a good attorney that can help you. Just call me at 732/773/2768.
