Irs debt consolidation: how can it be done?

Nope. You must deal with federal debts directly.

How can IRS debt consolidation be done? How can I take the issue up with them?

You can work out a installment agreement with them. You can go online at www.irs.gov. I pay mine monthly, but they will take any refunds due and apply it against the balance. But at least I'm not being garnished nor a lien against my property. If you decide on an installment agreement, make sure you don't/won't owe taxes for 2009. Part of the agreement stipulates that you cannot owe taxes for future tax years.

Are there firms to do tax debt consolidation?

Aubrey, was it easy to work with IRS? Were you allowed to pay installments at your convenience?

Guest...the answer is in this thread....no.

From what I hear, due to economy the IRS has become very easy to deal with.

Yes, it was easy. I didn't even have to talk to anyone. Go to their website: www.irs.gov and search for installment agreement. You can complete it on-line and arrange for payments. I used to have it taken out of my checking account, then I switched to billing, although I pay it on-line. Just don't be late with your payment and don't end up owing taxes for 2009 because it will invalidate your installament agreement.
