What Are Tax Resolution Services?

Tax resolution services help taxpayers understand and address outstanding tax problems with the IRS or other applicable tax authorities. Depending on the circumstances, assistance may involve reviewing tax liabilities, addressing missing returns, responding to notices, evaluating payment arrangements, and determining whether available tax-resolution options may apply
Tax problems can arise for many reasons. A taxpayer may have an unpaid balance, several years of unfiled returns, penalties and interest, an unexpected IRS notice, or difficulty paying a tax liability in full.
Tax resolution is not one solution that works for everyone. The appropriate approach depends on facts such as the amount and type of tax debt, filing compliance, financial circumstances, assets, income, expenses, and the taxpayer’s current status with the IRS
True Tax Advisor can help you understand the situation and identify the appropriate next steps based on the information available.
Professional assistance may be useful when a tax problem is complicated, involves multiple tax years, includes IRS correspondence, or requires you to evaluate more than one possible resolution path
If you are unsure what your IRS notice means or cannot determine how to address an outstanding tax balance, getting the situation reviewed can help you move forward with greater clarity

Tax Problems We Can Help You Address

Tax resolution often begins with identifying exactly what is causing the problem. True Tax Advisor’s tax-resolution service is designed around understanding the taxpayer’s circumstances and determining what assistance may be appropriate.

IRS Tax Debt

IRS tax debt is an unpaid federal tax liability that remains due after the taxpayer’s payment deadline. Depending on the circumstances, taxpayers who cannot pay their balance in full may have several options to consider, including payment plans, an Offer in Compromise, or other collection-related alternatives. We can help you understand the nature of the balance and evaluate potential next steps rather than assuming that one resolution strategy applies to every taxpayer.

Back Taxes and Unpaid Tax Balances

Back taxes can involve one or multiple tax years and may become more complicated when returns were filed late, payments were missed, or the taxpayer’s financial circumstances have changed. Understanding which years are affected, how much is owed, and whether returns and other filing obligations are current is an important part of evaluating the situation

IRS Tax Notices

An IRS notice should not simply be ignored. Different notices have different purposes, deadlines, and required responses. True Tax Advisor can help you review applicable IRS correspondence, understand what the notice is communicating, and determine what information or action may be needed.

Unfiled or Delinquent Tax Returns

Missing tax returns can complicate tax-resolution efforts. The IRS states that most payment plans and relief options require required tax returns to be filed. If you have several years of unfiled returns, resolving the filing issue may be an important first step before evaluating other options.

Tax Penalties and Interest

Unpaid tax balances can accumulate penalties and interest. The IRS generally charges interest on unpaid tax and may impose penalties when applicable. Depending on the circumstances, a taxpayer may be able to request penalty relief under applicable IRS rules. Qualification is not automatic and depends on the specific facts of the case.

IRS Collection Problems

If an unpaid balance remains unresolved, the IRS has collection procedures that may include notices and, in appropriate circumstances, enforcement actions. The appropriate response depends on the taxpayer’s circumstances and the status of the account. Addressing the problem early can help you understand your available options before the situation becomes more complicated.

Our Tax Resolution Services

True Tax Advisor’s tax-resolution approach focuses on understanding the tax problem before recommending a path forward

Tax Debt Assessment

We can review available information about your tax liabilities, affected tax years, filing status, IRS correspondence, and other relevant circumstances to help establish a clearer picture of the problem. The goal is to understand what is owed, what remains unresolved, and what issues may need attention first.

IRS Notice Assistance

IRS notices can be difficult to interpret, particularly when they involve unfamiliar tax terminology or deadlines. Our service can help you understand the nature of applicable correspondence and determine what information or response may be appropriate.

Tax Return Compliance

If you have missing or delinquent returns, resolving the filing issue may be an important component of your overall tax-resolution strategy. Where tax-return assistance is within the agreed service scope, we can help address outstanding filing needs as part of the broader resolution process.

Resolution Strategy

After understanding the tax situation, potential resolution paths can be evaluated based on your circumstances. This may include considering payment arrangements, potential penalty relief, an Offer in Compromise, collection-delay options, or other appropriate strategies.

IRS Payment Plan Assistance

If paying the tax liability in full is not practical, an installment agreement or other payment arrangement may be worth evaluating. True Tax Advisor can help you understand the applicable requirements and prepare for the next step where this assistance is within the agreed service scope.

Offer in Compromise Assistance

An OIC requires more than simply proposing a reduced payment. The IRS evaluates eligibility and financial information under its applicable rules. Where appropriate, True Tax Advisor can help you evaluate and prepare for an OIC process. Eligibility and acceptance are determined under IRS rules and are not guaranteed.

Penalty Relief Assistance

When applicable, we can help evaluate whether available penalty-relief provisions may apply to your situation and what documentation or explanation may be needed. The availability of relief depends on the taxpayer’s facts and applicable IRS requirements.

IRS Notices, Tax Debt & Collection: What Should You Do?

Receiving an IRS notice or discovering an unpaid tax balance does not automatically mean that the same solution will work for everyone.
Receiving an IRS notice or facing tax debt can feel overwhelming, but taking the right steps early can help you understand your options and protect your financial interests.
Our tax professionals can help you review IRS notices, understand outstanding tax liabilities, respond appropriately, and explore available collection options. From payment arrangements to other potential relief solutions, we work to help you address tax issues with clarity and confidence.

Who Should Consider Tax Resolution Help?

Tax resolution assistance can be relevant to individuals and businesses dealing with unresolved federal tax problems.

Individuals With IRS Tax Debt

If you owe federal taxes and are uncertain how to handle the balance, a review can help you understand what options may be available

Self-Employed Taxpayers

Self-employed individuals can face additional complexity when unpaid taxes involve income from business activities, estimated payments, multiple tax years, or other filing issues.

Business Owners

Businesses may face tax liabilities involving business returns, employment-related obligations, or other federal tax matters. The appropriate resolution approach depends on the type of liability and the taxpayer’s circumstances.

Taxpayers With Multiple Years of Unfiled Returns

Several missing returns can make a tax problem more complicated. Because filing compliance can affect eligibility for certain IRS payment and relief options, delinquent returns may need to be addressed as part of the broader resolution strategy.

People Who Received an IRS Notice

If you received an IRS notice and are unsure what it means or what to do next, professional assistance may help you understand the issue and determine the appropriate response.

Taxpayers Who Cannot Pay Their Full Balance

If you cannot afford to pay your tax debt in full, you may have options to consider. The IRS identifies payment plans, Offer in Compromise, collection delay and penalty relief among the available avenues for eligible taxpayers.

Why Work With True Tax Advisor?

Tax problems require more than generic tax information. They require attention to the taxpayer’s actual circumstances and a clear understanding of what needs to happen next.

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

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for tax problems. Depending on your circumstances and IRS requirements, several resolution options 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

Proactive tax planning can provide practical benefits without guaranteeing a particular tax result.

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

A structured process helps turn a confusing tax problem into a series of manageable decisions

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.
