Knowledge is power. Before initiating negotiations with the IRS, it’s helpful to understand exactly what the IRS has on record for your tax accounts. Anticipating possible issues and proactively addressing them before the IRS comes knocking can make a huge difference in successful case outcome. We leverage powerful software to quickly tabulate disparate IRS account records into comprehensive, easy-to-read reports that can be reviewed with your tax professional and updated on a moment’s notice. Contact us about our investigation services today.
If the IRS or a state revenue agency claims that you or your business owe them taxes that you’re unable to repay, we can negotiate on your behalf to establish a collection alternative that works for you. Whether it be an installment agreement, Offer in Compromise, or a Currently Not Collectible designation, we have the experience to effectively advocate on your behalf in order to achieve the best outcome based on your unique circumstances. In addition to negotiating collection alternatives, we can aggressively pursue options for lowering your tax bill such as innocent spouse or penalty abatement.
If your income tax return has been selected for examination by the IRS or a state revenue agency, don’t go it alone. We can represent you during the course of the examination in order to substantiate positions taken on the return, contest adjustments proposed by the IRS, and work to prevent the scope of the examination from being expanded to include additional years. Even if your audit was already finalized by the IRS with an unfavorable result, we can assist you in submitting an Audit Reconsideration petitioning the IRS to review the results of a prior examination and reduce the assessed tax if the circumstances warrant doing so.
Tax liens and levies can be debilitating. If you’ve received a notice from the IRS or a state revenue agency threatening you with lien filings, bank levies, or wage garnishment, we can quickly work with the revenue agency in question to minimize the risk of collection action being taken against you in the future. If you’re already under a levy or wage garnishment we can work directly with the IRS to attempt to have the liens or levies removed, while negotiating a collection alternative that will afford you protection against such actions being taken again in the future.
