Frequently Asked Questions

Tax resolution services are designed to help taxpayers resolve outstanding tax debt and IRS collection issues. When you owe back taxes, the IRS has powerful collection tools at their disposal, including wage garnishments, bank levies, tax liens, and property seizures.

Our tax resolution services work to stop these collection actions and negotiate a solution that fits your financial situation. The most common tax resolution options include installment agreements, which allow you to pay your tax debt over time in monthly payments; offers in compromise, which can settle your debt for less than the full amount owed; penalty abatement, which reduces or eliminates penalties and interest; and currently not collectible status, which temporarily suspends collection efforts when you're experiencing financial hardship.

Our experienced tax professionals evaluate your specific situation to determine which resolution option is best for you. We consider factors such as your income, expenses, assets, and ability to pay when developing a resolution strategy. Our goal is to find a solution that resolves your tax issues while minimizing the financial impact on you and your family.

• Bank levies can freeze all funds in your account at the time of levy
• Tax liens can significantly impact your credit score
• Property seizures are typically a last resort for the IRS
• All collection actions can be stopped with proper representation
