IRS Tax Resolution Services

Do not ignore it and do not panic. Most IRS notices have a response deadline, typically 30 to 60 days, and responding on time preserves your rights to dispute the amount or request relief. Read the notice number in the upper right corner, which tells us exactly what type of issue it is. Common notices include CP2000 (unreported income), CP504 (intent to levy), and LT11 (final notice of intent to levy with appeal rights). Contact us with the notice and we will interpret it, explain your options, and handle the response.

Yes. The IRS offers several types of installment agreements. If you owe less than $50,000, you can usually get a streamlined installment agreement without providing detailed financial information, with payments spread over up to 72 months. For larger balances, the IRS will require a Collection Information Statement (Form 433-A or 433-F) to evaluate your ability to pay. In some cases, we can negotiate a partial pay installment agreement where you pay less than the full balance over time. We determine which type is best for your situation and handle the entire application process.

An offer in compromise allows you to settle your IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. The IRS accepts an OIC when it determines the offered amount is the most it can reasonably expect to collect. Qualification depends on your income, expenses, asset equity, and future earning potential, not just the amount you owe. The IRS uses a specific formula called the reasonable collection potential to evaluate offers. Roughly 30 to 40 percent of submitted offers are accepted. We run the OIC formula with your actual numbers before recommending this route so you know whether it is a realistic option or whether another resolution strategy would be more effective.

Yes, but only after following a specific legal process. The IRS must send a Notice of Intent to Levy (typically LT11 or Letter 1058) and give you 30 days to request a Collection Due Process hearing before levying bank accounts or garnishing wages. If you are already subject to a levy, we can often get it released within days by demonstrating that you are working toward a resolution such as an installment agreement or offer in compromise, or by showing that the levy creates an economic hardship. If you have received a levy notice, contact us immediately because timing matters.
