1. Offers in Compromise (OIC)
An Offer in Compromise is one of the most powerful tools in tax resolution. It allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. If paying your full liability would cause severe financial hardship, we can meticulously prepare an OIC that accurately reflects your true collection potential. When successfully negotiated, an OIC can legally wipe out thousands of dollars in debt and provide a clean slate.
2. Installment Agreements
If you don't qualify for an Offer in Compromise and cannot pay your balance in a lump sum, an Installment Agreement is often the best route. This prevents aggressive IRS collection tactics by breaking your debt down into manageable, structured monthly payments. We negotiate directly with the tax authorities to ensure the terms actually fit your budget so you can meet your obligations without sacrificing your livelihood.
3. Stopping Wage Garnishments & Bank Levies
When the IRS wants its money, it doesn't wait forever. If you ignore notices, they can legally garnish your wages or drain the funds directly from your bank account. These actions require immediate, aggressive intervention. By quickly stepping in and establishing a formal resolution plan, we can secure the release of levies and garnishments, protecting your hard-earned income and business finances.
4. Addressing Unfiled Returns
You cannot negotiate a settlement or an installment plan with the IRS if you have unfiled tax returns. Getting back into compliance is step one. Because we operate as both tax attorneys and CPAs, we don't just negotiate the legal side, we can also accurately prepare and file your delinquent returns to get you fully compliant and ready for a resolution strategy.
