Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scope, timelines, support, and documentation for this service.
Can you stop an IRS levy or garnishment?
Yes, in most cases we can help stop or release an IRS levy or wage garnishment. The key is acting quickly. We file the necessary paperwork and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf to find a resolution while protecting your assets.
What is an Offer in Compromise?
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an agreement with the IRS to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. We analyze your financial situation to determine if you qualify and handle the entire negotiation process.
How long does tax resolution take?
Timeline varies by case complexity. Simple penalty abatements may resolve in 2-4 weeks. Offers in Compromise typically take 6-12 months. Payment plans can be set up within 2-4 weeks. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation.
Do I have to talk to the IRS directly?
No. Once we file a Power of Attorney, we handle all IRS communications on your behalf. You never have to speak with IRS agents directly while we represent you.
What should I do if I receive an IRS notice?
Don't ignore it and don't panic. Contact us immediately with the notice. Most IRS notices have strict response deadlines, often 30 days. We'll review the notice, determine what the IRS is requesting, and handle the response professionally.
Can you help with unfiled tax returns?
Yes, we specialize in filing back taxes for multiple years. We gather your records, reconstruct income if needed, file all missing returns, and work with the IRS to minimize penalties. It's never too late to get compliant.
How much does IRS representation cost?
Costs depend on case complexity. Simple notices may cost $500-$1,500. Complex resolution cases like Offers in Compromise typically range from $3,000-$7,500. We provide flat-rate quotes after your free consultation.
What are my options for paying tax debt?
Options include installment agreements (payment plans), Offers in Compromise (settling for less), currently not collectible status, penalty abatement, and bankruptcy in some cases. We analyze your situation and recommend the best path.
Can you represent me in a New York State tax audit?
Yes, we represent clients before the IRS, New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, and NYC Department of Finance. We handle all communications and negotiations with state and local tax authorities.
What happens if I don't pay my taxes?
Unpaid taxes accrue interest and penalties. The IRS can file liens against your property, levy bank accounts, garnish wages, and seize assets. The sooner you address the issue, the more options are available. Contact us for help.
