Tax Resolution Services

Tax resolution is the process of negotiating with the IRS or state tax agencies to resolve outstanding tax debt, remove penalties, and bring your account back into compliance. Services often include Offer in Compromise, payment plans, penalty abatement, and representation before the IRS or California tax agencies.

The best solution depends on your unique tax situation. Our licensed Enrolled Agents first conduct an in-depth financial and compliance review, then recommend strategies such as payment plans, settlement offers, or hardship relief to stop collection actions and minimize what you owe.

Fees vary based on the complexity of your case. Most clients invest between $5,000 or more for comprehensive tax resolution services, far less than the penalties and interest they would otherwise pay. We always provide transparent, upfront pricing before beginning work.

A specialist represents you directly before the IRS or state agency, handles all correspondence, reviews your tax records, and negotiates on your behalf. Their goal is to reduce your tax liability, stop levies or garnishments, and secure an approved resolution plan.

Tax preparation focuses on filing accurate returns for the current year. Tax resolution deals with fixing past problems such as unfiled returns, back taxes, or penalties. Both are important, but resolution requires deeper negotiation and compliance expertise.

Most cases take four to twelve weeks, depending on how quickly the IRS responds and how complex your issue is. Some advanced cases, like Offers in Compromise, can take several months due to government backlogs.

The Fresh Start Program is an IRS initiative that expands access to Offers in Compromise and flexible payment plans, making it easier for taxpayers to pay off or settle their debt. We evaluate your eligibility and submit all documentation for you.

An Offer in Compromise settles your tax debt for less than what you owe. A payment plan (Installment Agreement) spreads full or partial payments over time. We help determine which option best fits your financial profile.

Every case varies, but the key is starting early. Simple payment arrangements may resolve in weeks, while more complex settlements can take several months depending on IRS processing times.
