IRS problems & back taxes
A letter from the IRS or the state is stressful. You don't have to deal with it alone. We handle it for you.
Ignoring a tax problem only makes it bigger: penalties and interest keep adding up. The sooner we look at it, the more options you usually have.
Problems we help with
Back taxes
Tax you owe from prior years, for individuals and businesses, including payroll and sales tax balances.
Unfiled returns
Missed a year, or several? We prepare the past-due returns and bring you back into compliance.
IRS & state notices
We read the notice, explain what it means, and respond to the IRS or state tax agency for you.
Audit representation
We prepare your documentation and represent you during an IRS or state examination.
Options we look at
Every case is different. Depending on your situation, the possibilities can include:
- Payment plans (installment agreements) that spread a balance over time
- Penalty relief where you qualify, for example first-time abatement or reasonable cause
- Offer in compromise, settling for less than the full amount when you qualify
- Correcting errors in the agency's records or in previously filed returns
We'll give you an honest assessment of which options fit your situation and what to expect.
How it works
- Free consultation. Tell us what's going on and bring any letters you have received.
- Review. We pull your records, figure out exactly what is owed and why, and outline your options.
- Resolution. We file what's missing, deal with the agencies on your behalf, and work toward a resolution.
