TAX RESOLUTION SERVICES
The Internal Revenue Services (IRS) has a well-deserved reputation for being difficult to work with when problems arise. From spending hours on hold to even speak to an agent, to agents that don’t (or won’t) work to fix even the simplest error or oversight, the agency is well known for causing taxpayers to hang up their phones in despair and even pay money/taxes they don’t owe just to get them to GO AWAY! Let our Enrolled Agents help!
With over 20 years’ experience of supporting all kinds of taxpayers in their fights against the IRS, and other state and local government tax agencies, our EA’s are well versed in responding to IRS notices and letters, and are often able to resolve issues with a phone call, or two. For those cases where the underlying situation is more complex, we can request the assistance of the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) to assist us in clearing up problems that the other IRS departments can’t or won’t.
Our staff understands how to work with the IRS to:
- Request penalty abatements on your taxes;
- Defend your return during an IRS, or State, tax audit*;
- Explain the difference between Tax Liens and Tax Levies;
- Place your account in Currently Non-Collectible Status;
- Set up a payment plan with the IRS;
- Prepare and submit Offers-in-Compromise;
- Strategize on which tax periods to pay to minimize interest and penalties; and
- Determine what your Collection Statutory Expiration Date (CSED) is.
Our process is quite straight-forward without any demands for up-front fees to look at your situation. We’re able to review the information provided by you, research the rules, regulations, and laws that are relevant to your situation, and work to resolve the agency demands based on your goals. We’ll also keep you posted on the progress of your case regularly, especially since this process can take months, and in some cases, years, to resolve.
Our Tax Resolution Services can also assist with State and Local government agencies. From Sales & Use Tax, to Tangible Personal Property Taxes, we can support your company and protect it from overzealous agencies saving you time, money, and headaches.
If you are tired of the government creating a mountain out of a mole hill and would like an experienced team to assist you with your situation, give us a call at 931-919-2543– You’ll be glad you did!
* Please note that while our office can support your State or IRS tax audit, we are not CPAs, and therefore cannot provide reviews, attestation, or audit services on business financial statements or documents.
