You don’t have to face the IRS alone. As Enrolled Agents (EA), we have the legal authority and expertise to negotiate directly with the IRS and state tax authorities on your behalf.
Tax authorities can be intimidating, but we speak their language. We know the tax code, understand IRS procedures, and have the negotiation skills to advocate for your best interests. Whether you’re dealing with collection notices, audit disputes, or overwhelming tax debt, we step in as your representative and handle all communications with tax authorities.
What we negotiate: -Installment agreements- Short term payment plans- Settlements for less than you owe (Offer in Compromise) - Reduced tax assessments and adjustments - Release of tax liens and levies - Removal of wage garnishments - Audit outcomes and disputed tax amounts - Collection alternatives that protect your assets
When you work with us, you gain a knowledgeable advocate who fights for the best possible resolution while you focus on running your business and living your life.
Tax penalties can quickly multiply your debt, adding thousands of dollars to what you owe. The good news? Some penalties can be reduced or eliminated entirely. We know exactly how to request penalty abatement on your behalf.
Our team will review your situation and build a strong case for penalty relief based on reasonable cause, first-time penalty abatement, or other qualifying circumstances. We handle all the paperwork and negotiations with the IRS, fighting to reduce or remove penalties that are making your tax debt unmanageable.
Common penalties we help reduce or eliminate: - Failure-to-file penalties - Failure-to-pay penalties - Accuracy-related penalties - Late payment penalties - Estimated tax penalties
Can’t pay your full tax bill right now? You’re not alone, and you have options. We negotiate installment agreements with the IRS that break your tax debt into affordable monthly payments you can actually manage.
We’ll analyze your financial situation and work with the IRS to create a payment plan that fits your budget—not theirs. Whether you need a short-term payment plan or a long-term installment agreement, we’ll negotiate terms that give you breathing room while satisfying your tax obligations.
Payment plan benefits: - Stop collection activities and avoid liens or levies - Make manageable monthly payments based on your income - Avoid the stress of dealing with IRS collectors - Protect your assets and wages from seizure - Get back to financial stability on your terms
Unfiled tax returns don’t go away—they only get worse. The IRS can file returns for you (called substitute returns), often resulting in higher taxes owed because they don’t include deductions and credits you’re entitled to claim.
We help you get compliant by preparing and filing all your back tax returns accurately and completely. Our team will gather the necessary documentation and ensure you receive every deduction and credit you deserve. Once your returns are filed, we can then negotiate payment arrangements or penalty relief.
Why file with us: - Stop the accumulation of additional penalties and interest - Claim refunds you may be owed from previous years - Regain peace of mind and eliminate the fear of IRS enforcement - Position yourself for better negotiation outcomes - Get expert preparation from CMA and EA certified professionals
