Are you having problems with the IRS? The worst thing you can do is to ignore it.
They don’t go away magically and they have extreme amounts of power, resources, and laws specifically to enforce tax collections and compliance. The longer you wait to address your problems, the more aggressive actions the IRS will take.
However, that does not mean you are powerless and have no rights! We have spent years studying case law, tax law, professional publications, and professional forums connecting with other professionals to help you with your problem.
As your preparers, we advise you to notify us as soon as possible when contacted by the IRS. The sooner we begin prevention measures or take corrective action, the more willing they are to work with us.
If we were not your original preparer, we will first consult with you to make sure we understand what happened to trigger the IRS’s attention and whether or not it is something we can help you resolve.

IRS Audit RepresentationFacing the IRS alone is like challenging an entire NBA team to a basketball game. It’s just not a very good idea. IRS Auditors are trained to extract more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. IRS Auditors know that most people fear them and are ignorant of their rights.
By adding another professional to your team, we can arm you with the truth, the proof, and the confidence needed to navigate the audit. We communicate with them to find out what specifically they are questioning on your return. Using that information, we help you gather, organize, and document your tax positions. We can then represent you directly. This means you won’t have to attend the IRS meetings and instead you can get back to your normal life as quickly as possible.
If you have received an IRS notice and need representation, please take a moment to schedule a free consultation regarding your audit as soon as possible.
Every day the massive computer center at the IRS is getting more sophisticated, it’s just a matter of time before they catch up with you. Why risk potentially becoming an IRS target for failing to file your tax returns? Remember, with the IRS, ignoring the letters only increase the leverage they have to force compliance and collections.
Let us give you the peace of mind you deserve by helping you get in compliance with the law. Filing and paying are completely different functions of the IRS. The IRS must have returns filed before they can turn your case over to collections.
If you voluntarily file your delinquent returns you’ll likely avoid further problems other than having to pay the interest and penalties. If you wait for the IRS to file your returns for you, they are filed in the best interest of the government, with little or none of the deductions you are entitled to.
In most cases you didn’t file because you didn’t have the money to pay the owed taxes, interest, and penalties. Once we file and calculate how much is actually owed, we can set a course of action to get the tax bill resolved with the collection department. In my experience, the collection department is easy to work with, very reasonable and understanding.

The lien can be against you, your spouse, or your company. A lien against your company could include seizure of your accounts receivables. At this point everything that is due to you, is immediately confiscated by the IRS.
Liens filed against you by the IRS also show up on your credit report and often prevent you from opening a checking account or borrowing against any assets, like your home. The banks don’t want the extra work when the IRS comes in to take your money.
With a Federal Tax lien on your record you can’t get a reasonable loan to purchase a car. Think about paying 18-22% interest on a car that is already too expensive. You definitely cannot buy or sell any real estate. The list is endless. Please take a moment to schedule a free consultation regarding your lein.
Imagine waking up one morning and finding all your bank accounts have been cleaned out. They will take every dime. If this amount did not cover what is owed, they’ll keep taking your money until you cover your tax liability. They know that levying your bank account will cause checks to bounce, alerting many people that you have tax problems. But they don’t care! Their sole objective is to collect the taxes owed. Period.
As bad as that is, a worse method is a wage levy (or garnishment). That’s when most of your pay check goes to the IRS, they don’t leave you enough to pay the bills, and most of your check goes to the IRS each and every week until the debt is paid.
If that doesn’t accomplish what they want, they’ll pull out all the stops. They’ll seize your assets, and sell them at auction. That includes everything you own; home, cars, boats, jewelry, motorcycles, insurance policies, retirement funds, anything of value.
We are often able to get those levies released and help you get out of this terrible situation. Our goal is to get you even with the IRS, with what you can afford, and let you start life anew. Please take a moment to schedule a free consultation regarding your IRS levy.
Now you’re in big financial trouble. No matter how hard you plead with your employer they can not give you your money. Because once a wage garnishment is filed with your employer, your employer is required by law to collect a large percentage of each of your paychecks.
We are regularly retained to negotiate the release of IRS wage garnishments by arranging a payment plan. The payment plan negotiated by us is always more favorable than any IRS wage garnishment. It allows you to receive your whole paycheck without fears of future wage garnishments. Please take a moment to schedule a free consultation regarding your IRS wage garnishment.
A Seizure should not be taken lightly. The IRS will ultimately pursue seizure of your physical assets. Don’t think they won’t. Many a newspaper or television show has reported citizens being forced out of their homes after it was sold at an IRS auction, often for as little as half its value.
When the IRS seizes your assets they want to quickly sell them at auction. They often get less than half your assets value, so they often seize everything you own including your home, cars, boats, jewelry, motorcycles, insurance policies, and even your retirement funds. Please take a moment to schedule a free consultation regarding your IRS seizure.
Unfortunately, penalties and interest will continue to be charged on your outstanding balance as you pay the debt off. You are required by law to pay the interest on your tax debt.
The good news is, under a payment plan, you are considered in compliance with tax law, preventing any further aggressive action by the IRS against you.
