Tax Debt Consultant Podcast

You owe the IRS more than you can pay. You stopped opening the mail a while ago. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a number keeps getting bigger while you try not to think about it. That is who this show is for. Tax Debt Live is hosted by Carlos Samaniego and his son Andrew Samaniego. Both Enrolled Agents. Both veterans. Every episode, they do one thing: tell scared people the truth about what the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board can actually do to them, and what can actually be done about it. Carlos spent eight years buried in his own IRS mess, telling himself he would handle it when things calmed down, waiting for a better moment that never came. He got out. Then he spent the next decade getting other people out. Andrew is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and Navy veteran who came home, earned his EA credential, and now runs the cases from triage to resolution. One generation that lived the problem. One trained to end it. Both wearing the same last name. No theory. No feel-good tax talk. No firm pretending your problem is worse than it is so they can charge you more to fix it. Just straight answers about back taxes, wage garnishment, bank levies, tax liens, unfiled returns, and the letters that show up certified when the collections machine finally locks onto your file. You will hear the real playbook. How an Offer in Compromise actually works and who actually qualifies. When an installment agreement is the right move and when it quietly buries you. What a Revenue Officer can seize, how fast, and what stops them. Why doing nothing is the single most expensive decision you can make, and how the penalty clock keeps running whether you engage or not. The IRS is The Collector. It does not get angry. It gets automated. The California FTB is CaliClaw, and it moves faster and hits harder than most people expect. The Revenue Officer at your door is The Hitman. On this show, Carlos and Andrew name what you are up against, because you cannot fight what you refuse to look at. Here is the part most tax shows skip. Carlos is not the hero of the story. Neither is Andrew. You are. They are the rope. Some episodes break down a single case from triage to resolution. Some answer the questions people are too embarrassed to ask out loud. Some sit down with tax attorneys, former IRS agents, and the people who actually know how the system works from the inside. Every one of them is built for the person staring at a balance they cannot see a way out of. If you owe back taxes and you have been carrying it alone, this show is the first honest conversation you have had about it. The moment you decide to move is the last moment the clock is working against you. After that, it works for you. Ready to stop listening and start fixing it? Call 909-570-1103 or go to CallTaxEA.com and tell Carlos and Andrew what you are dealing with. They will take it from there. The Collector(IRS) does not take holidays. Neither do they.
