What We Resolve

Resolution Services We Offer

Explore the full range of resolution services we offer.

Offer in Compromise (OIC)

Settle qualifying tax debt for less than the full amount owed through professional IRS negotiation.

If you owe more to the IRS than you can realistically afford to pay, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise. This IRS program allows certain taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full balance owed based on their financial situation and ability to pay. We help clients review eligibility, prepare financial documentation, submit the application process, and negotiate directly with the IRS throughout the resolution process.

Penalty Abatement

Reduce or remove IRS penalties and related interest through professional representation.

IRS penalties and interest can add up quickly and significantly increase the amount you owe. In many cases, taxpayers may qualify for relief due to reasonable cause, first-time penalty eligibility, illness, financial hardship, or other qualifying circumstances. We work with clients to determine eligibility, prepare supporting documentation, and request penalty relief directly from the IRS.

Innocent Spouse Relief

Seek relief from tax debt caused by a spouse or former spouse’s actions or reporting errors.

In some situations, taxpayers may be held responsible for tax liabilities resulting from a spouse’s or former spouse’s unreported income, filing errors, or unpaid taxes. Innocent Spouse Relief may help qualifying individuals avoid responsibility for certain tax debt, penalties, and interest. We assist clients with reviewing eligibility requirements, preparing documentation, and navigating the IRS relief process.

Installment Agreements & Payment Plans

Establish manageable IRS payment plans designed to fit your financial situation.

If you are unable to pay your tax debt in full, the IRS may allow monthly payment arrangements through an installment agreement. We help individuals and businesses evaluate available payment options, negotiate manageable payment terms, and work toward preventing additional IRS collection actions while resolving outstanding balances over time.

IRS Fresh Start Program

Explore IRS resolution options that may help make resolving tax debt more manageable.

The IRS Fresh Start Program was designed to help qualifying taxpayers resolve tax debt through expanded payment options and relief programs. Depending on your financial situation, you may qualify for installment agreements, penalty relief, or other resolution options designed to reduce collection pressure and help you become compliant. We help clients review eligibility and determine which IRS programs may best fit their situation.

Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Assistance

Protect business owners and responsible parties facing payroll tax investigations and penalties.

Businesses with unpaid payroll taxes may face serious IRS enforcement actions, including Trust Fund Recovery Penalties assessed personally against owners, officers, or other responsible individuals. These cases can carry significant financial consequences if not handled properly. We assist with responding to investigations, reviewing IRS assessments, and navigating the resolution process related to unpaid payroll taxes.

IRS Liens & Levies

Address IRS collection actions involving bank accounts, wages, and property.

When tax debt remains unresolved, the IRS may issue levies against bank accounts or wages and may also place liens against property or business assets. These actions can create significant financial hardship for individuals and businesses alike. We help clients review available options, communicate directly with the IRS, and work toward resolving collection actions and restoring compliance.

Bank Levy Release

Work to release IRS levies placed on bank accounts and protect access to your funds.

An IRS bank levy can freeze or seize funds directly from your bank account, often creating immediate financial hardship for individuals and businesses. If you have received notice of a bank levy or discovered your account has been frozen, it is important to act quickly. We assist clients with reviewing available resolution options, communicating with the IRS, and working toward levy releases and long-term resolution strategies whenever possible.

Payroll Tax Negotiations

Resolve payroll tax issues before they create additional financial and operational problems.

Payroll tax debt can quickly become overwhelming for business owners and often leads to aggressive IRS collection activity if left unresolved. We assist businesses with addressing payroll tax balances, negotiating payment arrangements, responding to IRS notices, and developing strategies to help stabilize the business while working toward compliance.

IRS Audit Representation

Receive professional guidance and representation throughout the IRS audit process.

IRS audits can be stressful, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without professional assistance. We provide representation and guidance throughout the audit process, helping clients organize documentation, respond to IRS requests, and communicate effectively with tax authorities while protecting their interests.

Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status

Temporarily pause IRS collection efforts due to financial hardship.

Taxpayers experiencing financial hardship may qualify for Currently Not Collectible status if they are temporarily unable to pay their tax debt while still meeting necessary living expenses. When approved, the IRS may temporarily suspend collection activity. We assist clients with reviewing eligibility, preparing financial disclosures, and submitting the required documentation to the IRS.

Delinquent Tax Return Filings

Get caught up on unfiled tax returns and restore compliance with the IRS.

Unfiled tax returns can lead to growing penalties, substitute returns filed by the IRS, collection actions, and increased financial stress. We assist individuals and businesses with preparing and filing past-due tax returns while working toward compliance with IRS and state tax requirements. Our goal is to help clients move forward with a clear resolution strategy and avoid further enforcement actions.

Wage Garnishment Assistance

Help reduce IRS collection pressure and address wage garnishments.

IRS wage garnishments can place serious strain on your finances and make it difficult to keep up with everyday obligations. We help clients explore available resolution options, including payment arrangements, hardship programs, and other IRS solutions designed to reduce collection pressure and work toward long-term resolution.

Wage Garnishment Removal

Take steps toward reducing or removing IRS wage garnishments.

In many situations, there may be options available to reduce or stop IRS wage garnishment activity depending on your financial circumstances and compliance status. We help clients evaluate available resolution programs, communicate directly with the IRS, and work toward solutions designed to relieve collection pressure and help restore financial stability.
