Problems
&
Solutions
Bankruptcy
It is important to know how bankruptcy will impact past and future tax debt before you file, as tax debt is handled very differently from other types of debt during the bankruptcy process. We can help you discover tax relief solutions that are specific to the bankruptcy process.
IRS Audits
If you’ve received an audit letter from the IRS, your tax return was likely noticed due to having a mistake or “red flag.” What happens next depends on what the IRS has found. You almost certainly will have opportunities to negotiate and appeal. Our team will be able to take the proper steps to escalate a case or reach a settlement that works for your best interests. The bottom line is that IRS lawyers are often more than willing to negotiate with someone who speaks the language of the IRS.
Penalties & Interest
The IRS can bring penalties and interest against you if you fail to file your returns correctly, fail to file returns on time, or fail to pay taxes. There are many different types of IRS penalties, and they can be exacerbated if you fail to reply to or comply with the IRS. The good news is that you may be able to have your penalties and interest removed or refunded if you can prove that you’ve done nothing wrong.
Tax Levies
A IRS tax levy is an administrative action by the Internal Revenue Service to seize property to cover an outstanding tax bill. Unfortunately, the IRS has full authority under federal law to do this if a taxpayer is delinquent. The IRS does not need your permission to begin seizing assets, property, money, paychecks, and more. A levy release simply means that the IRS agrees not to take money out of your paycheck or seize property to cover your tax debt. A levy release won’t just happen. You’ll need help!
Tax Liens
A lien gives the government claim to your personal property, real estate, and other assets. A tax lien can follow you for years, damaging your efforts to obtain financing or make big financial decisions. This is why it is important to act swiftly with the help of a tax professional.
Payroll Taxes
Many business owners are unaware that the IRS actually prioritizes collecting payroll taxes over things like collecting owed income tax. The penalties can roll in quickly and heavily once a business fails to pay payroll taxes. You should act quickly to avoid letting available options expire or slip through the cracks, as it may not be too late to save your business and reduce penalties.
Wage Garnishments
If you owe back taxes, the IRS is legally entitled to directly take money out of every paycheck you earn. This costly and embarrassing penalty can make it difficult for you to maintain a reasonable standard of living. The IRS can and will go after salary, hourly wages, commissions, and bonuses when garnishing your wages. This can only be stopped if an alternative resolution is put in place.

Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an agreement between the IRS and a taxpayer that aims to settle outstanding tax liabilities for less than the full amount that is owed. We’ll use our knowledge of OIC administrative procedures and tax law to help you potentially avoid paying thousands of dollars in taxes, interest, and penalties.
Audit Appeals
If you find yourself in a situation where the IRS has recommended an audit that you feel is incorrect or inappropriate, you can appear before the IRS Office of Appeals to contest the recommendation. A high number of disputed IRS audits are actually settled when an appeal is initiated. You can use the fact that the IRS does not want to litigate issues out of fear of lost time, heavy expenses, and the risk of an unfavorable outcome to your advantage when you work with a professional who understands the process.
Penalty Abatement
Has the IRS tacked a penalty onto your debt without taking into account your specific situation? Let us help you prove that your nonpayment was not the result of negligence. We’ll work hard to have penalties removed or refunded by the IRS by showing in writing that you had what is known as “reasonable cause” for not paying taxes that were due.
Installment Agreement
Are you overwhelmed by how much you owe to the IRS? It may be possible for you to pay your tax bill in small installments over a period of time if you currently do not have the funds to pay your debt in one lump sum. Let us work with you to see if you meet the requirements for an installment plan. We can also help if you’re looking for an extension on your existing installment plan with the IRS.
Currently nonCollectible
You could be eligible for Currently Non Collectible (CNC) status if your gross monthly income is lower than the allowable expenses set by national standards. This essentially means that the IRS will recognize that you cannot realistically pay your tax debt. We can help you claim Currently Non Collectible (CNC) status to be protected from wage levies, bank levies, and other collection tactics that the IRS typically uses to collect owed taxes.
Innocent Spouse Relief
A 1998 tax law made it easier for a spouse to be excused from tax liability and penalties when returns are filed jointly. Relief may be available from the IRS if you can prove that you were unaware of a substantial understatement of income or tax when signing a joint tax return. Of course, you must know about and qualify for the guidelines that make it possible to be relieved of tax liabilities caused by the actions of a spouse or former spouse.
