Navigate the complexities of tax debt with confidence. Our expert advice helps individuals and businesses resolve IRS issues, reduce tax burdens, and regain financial stability through proven resolution strategies.
Tax resolution is the process of resolving outstanding tax debts or disputes with the IRS or state tax agencies. Rather than facing collection actions alone, taxpayers can negotiate reduced settlements, payment plans, or other relief options.
Debt Negotiation
Work with tax authorities to potentially reduce the total amount owed through settlement programs like Offers in Compromise.
Relief Programs
Access IRS programs designed to help taxpayers manage their tax burdens through structured payment options or penalty reductions.
Collection Defense
Protect yourself from aggressive collection actions including tax liens, levies, and wage garnishments that can devastate your finances.
Common Tax Problems Faced by Individuals and Businesses
Tax problems can escalate quickly, creating significant financial and emotional stress. Recognizing these issues early is key to finding effective solutions before they worsen.
Back Taxes
Unpaid federal or state tax liabilities that continue to accrue penalties and interest, potentially doubling your debt over time.
Tax Liens & Levies
Legal claims against property and assets that damage credit scores and can lead to seizure of bank accounts, property, or wages.
Unfiled Returns
Missing tax returns that can trigger substantial penalties, lead to criminal charges, and prevent you from accessing resolution options.
Tax Disputes
Disagreements with tax authorities over audit findings, liability amounts, or penalty assessments that require formal appeals.
Tax Resolution Options and Strategies

Collect all tax notices, returns, income statements, and financial records before your first consultation. This accelerates the resolution process and ensures accurate assessment of your options.
Act Promptly
Respond to IRS notices within their stated deadlines. Early intervention prevents additional penalties and gives you more negotiation leverage before collection actions escalate.
Stay Compliant
File all required returns and pay current taxes while resolving past issues. Non-compliance with current obligations can disqualify you from resolution programs and restart collection actions.
