Personalized Guidance
Your tax liability, filing history, financial circumstances and IRS status may be different from another taxpayer's. Our approach is designed to start with your situation rather than assume a standard solution
Clear Communication
Tax terminology can be difficult to understand when you are already dealing with an unresolved tax issue. We focus on explaining the situation clearly so you can understand the decisions involved.
Organized Resolution Process
Tax-resolution matters can involve notices, returns, financial information, deadlines and documentation. A structured process can help keep the relevant information organized.
Practical Tax Support
The goal is not to promise an outcome that cannot be guaranteed. The goal is to understand the problem, evaluate applicable options and help you take informed next steps.
Tax Resolution Options That May Be Available
| Resolution Option | What to Know |
|---|---|
| IRS Payment Plans | Eligible taxpayers may be able to pay their IRS tax debt over time instead of paying the full balance immediately. Interest and applicable penalties generally continue until the balance is paid. |
| Offer in Compromise | May allow eligible taxpayers to settle certain federal tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed. The IRS considers factors such as income, expenses, assets, and ability to pay. Approval is not guaranteed. |
| Penalty Relief | Some taxpayers may qualify for relief from certain IRS penalties if they meet applicable requirements. Eligibility depends on the type of penalty and individual circumstances. |
| Currently Not Collectible | Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status may temporarily delay IRS collection when paying would create financial hardship. The underlying tax debt is not erased, and interest and penalties may continue to accrue. |
| Filing Delinquent Tax Returns | Filing missing tax returns can be an important step in resolving an IRS tax problem. Many payment and relief options require taxpayers to be current with required filings. |
| Other Resolution Strategies | Some tax problems may require correcting filing issues, reviewing the amount owed, disputing a liability, or evaluating other collection alternatives. The appropriate strategy depends on the taxpayer's specific situation. |
Common Questions About IRS Tax Notices and Tax Debt
What Should I Do If I Receive an IRS Tax Notice?
Read the notice carefully, identify the tax year and issue involved, and pay attention to any response deadline or instructions. Do not assume that every IRS notice requires the same response. If the notice involves a balance you cannot pay, missing returns, disputed information, or potential collection activity, consider having the situation reviewed so you can determine the appropriate next step. The IRS recommends following the instructions on the notice and provides additional resources for understanding IRS correspondence.
Can a Tax Professional Help With IRS Tax Debt?
Yes. A qualified tax professional may help a taxpayer understand their tax debt, evaluate available resolution options, prepare relevant documentation, and assist with applicable taxresolution procedures. However, a tax professional cannot guarantee that the IRS will approve a particular resolution option. The IRS makes eligibility and approval decisions according to applicable rules and the taxpayer's circumstances.
What Happens If You Ignore an IRS Tax Debt?
Ignoring an unresolved tax balance can allow interest and applicable penalties to continue accumulating, and the IRS may take collection action when authorized. That does not mean every taxpayer will experience the same collection actions. The status of the account and the taxpayer's circumstances matter. If you have received a notice or know that you owe taxes you cannot pay, understanding your options is generally more useful than simply avoiding the issue.
Our Tax Resolution Process
01
Initial Consultation
We begin by understanding why you are seeking tax-resolution help, what concerns you have, and what you already know about your tax situation.
02
Tax Situation Review
Relevant tax notices, returns, balances, payment history, and financial information are reviewed to evaluate potential options.
03
Identify Potential Resolution Options
We evaluate which types of resolution strategies may be relevant based on the information available. Not every option will apply to every taxpayer
04
Develop a Resolution Strategy
Once potential paths are understood, the next steps can be organized around the taxpayer's circumstances, compliance needs, documentation, and applicable requirements.
05
Resolution Assistance
Depending on the agreed service scope, assistance may include preparing documentation, addressing applicable filings, helping with submissions, or supporting communications associated with the resolution process.
06
Ongoing Support
Tax resolution may involve multiple steps rather than a single action. Where ongoing support is part of the engagement, we can help you stay organized as the matter progresses.
