Tax Problem Resolution

Tax Problem resolution is a special area of our professional practice involving unfiled tax returns, unpaid taxes, tax liens or levies, audit representation and any other type of tax controversy. As Certified Public Accountants we are qualified to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. Some of the specialized services we provide in this arena include Offer In Compromise, Penalty Abatement, Installment Agreement, Audit Representation, Unfiled Returns as well as Liens, Levies and Garnishees.

OFFER IN COMPROMISE
Offer In Compromise is the government's "Let's Make A Deal" program that allows you to pay an amount you can afford to satisfy your entire tax liability. It even includes penalties and interest. Once the offer is accepted and paid the taxpayer is then current with all their tax liabilities thus allowing the taxpayer a "Fresh Start".
PENALTY ABATEMENT
Tax authorities increase the amount a taxpayer owes by adding penalties and interest to the unpaid tax. In many cases a taxpayer could afford to pay the tax, but due to the penalties and interest, the ever-growing balance becomes unmanageable. Often we are able to have the penalties and interest reduced or eliminated by providing reasonable cause.
INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT
We can secure an agreement with the IRS and other tax authorities to allow monthly payments on your tax liability. The agreement keeps them from filing liens and levies as long as the payments are made. Without an agreement tax authorities may take money from your paycheck or bank accounts, they can file liens against your home or other property.
AUDIT REPRESENTATION
You shouldn't consider going before the IRS or any other tax authority without proper representation. We are experienced in the audit process and know how to properly represent taxpayers under audit. We understand the red flags that may not be apparent to taxpayers representing themselves. We are able to close audits quickly and avoid expansion of the audit scope. Generally, the cost of representation is far less than the amount saved through qualified representation.
UNFILED RETURNS
Failure to file a tax return is a criminal offense that may be punishable by imprisonment. In most situations we can prepare and file delinquent returns avoiding exposure to such harsh penalties.
LIENS, LEVIES AND GARNISHEES
The IRS may take money from your paycheck or bank account by garnishee or levy. They may place liens on your house or other assets. We can often prevent such actions or have these lifted so you can afford to pay your bills. If you are presently concerned about a lien, levy or garnishee we can help. Remember, the earlier we address the problem the more successful we are likely to be.
