Can you really settle tax debt for less than I owe?
Yes — through the IRS Offer in Compromise program, which settles debt based on your actual ability to pay rather than the full balance. Not everyone qualifies, which is exactly what the free case review determines. If an OIC isn't realistic for your situation, we'll say so and recommend the program that is.
Will you stop my wage garnishment or bank levy?
Stopping active collections is the first priority on every case. Once we file power of attorney and open negotiations, garnishments and levies can often be released quickly — sometimes before your next paycheck. The sooner you call, the more options we have.
What does it cost, and is the consultation really free?
The case review is completely free and carries no obligation — no credit card, no commitment. If you choose to move forward, you'll receive a flat fee in writing based on the complexity of your case before any work begins.
I haven't filed taxes in years. Am I in trouble?
You're in a fixable situation, and you're far from alone. We prepare and file your back returns — often replacing IRS "substitute" returns that overstate what you owe — and bring you back into compliance, which is the required first step of any settlement.
How long does tax resolution take?
Protection starts immediately — power of attorney is typically filed within days. Full resolution depends on the program: penalty abatements can conclude in weeks, while an Offer in Compromise generally takes several months for the IRS to review. We keep you updated at every stage.
Do you work with businesses and payroll tax debt?
Yes. We represent business owners on payroll (Form 941) debt, trust fund recovery penalties, and business income tax — issues the IRS pursues especially aggressively. If your business is behind, acting early protects both the company and you personally.
Do you handle state tax debt too?
Yes. State tax agencies can be even more aggressive than the IRS, and many clients owe both. We negotiate federal and state cases together so nothing falls through the cracks.
