Services

IRS Tax Resolution

Our IRS tax resolution service addresses federal tax debt through strategic negotiations, including offers in compromise and installment agreements. We represent clients in wage garnishment cases, bank levy releases, and revenue officer interactions. With expertise in trust fund recovery penalties and audit defense, we prioritize legally sound solutions that minimize financial impact while ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

Offers in Compromise

This service specializes in negotiating reduced tax debt settlements with the IRS. We evaluate eligibility based on income, assets, and family circumstances to determine if clients qualify for an offer in compromise. Our process includes preparing financial documentation and advocating for acceptance of reduced payment amounts, focusing on cases where full payment would create undue hardship.

Revenue Officer Representation

We provide legal defense for cases involving IRS revenue officers conducting in-person investigations. Our representation includes responding to summonses, negotiating levy releases, and preventing business closures due to payroll tax debts. We protect client rights during field visits and communications while working toward resolution options like installment agreements or currently not collectible status.

Audit Representation

Our audit representation service supports clients facing IRS examination of tax returns. We prepare documentation, communicate directly with auditors, and challenge disputed findings to minimize additional tax liabilities. The service covers both random audits and those triggered by questionable filings, ensuring clients receive fair treatment while maintaining compliance with reporting requirements.

Bank Levy Release

This emergency service focuses on releasing IRS bank account freezes within the 21-day legal window. We negotiate with the IRS to prevent fund seizures that disrupt personal finances or business operations. Our approach includes demonstrating financial hardship and arranging alternative payment solutions to protect client assets while resolving underlying tax debts.

Questions

Why should I choose a law firm for tax resolution?

Attorneys provide legally binding representation with ethical obligations to clients, unlike tax resolution companies that often use sales-driven approaches without legal expertise.

Can I handle IRS wage garnishment alone?

While possible, legal representation increases chances of releasing garnishments by demonstrating financial hardship and negotiating alternative payment arrangements with the IRS.

How long does an offer in compromise take?

The process typically takes 6-9 months from filing, including IRS review and negotiation periods for reduced tax debt settlements.

What happens if my bank account is frozen?

Do I need representation for IRS audits?

Professional representation helps protect your rights during audits, ensuring proper documentation submission and minimizing potential tax liabilities from examination findings.

Can business tax debts be settled?

Businesses may qualify for offers in compromise, especially when owners face trust fund recovery penalties, though requirements differ from individual debt settlements.
