The IRS and IDR have incredible powers when it comes to the assessment or collection of tax liability. The IRS can seize your bank account, seize your wages and even seize your home or business. The IRS also files tax liens that ruin your credit and give public notice of your tax liability.

There are many reasons why people do not file tax returns or have unpaid liability. Sometimes a death or illness gets in the way. Sometimes the loss of a job requires a family to dip into retirement funds to pay basic living expenses. Sometimes a temporary downturn in one’s business causes tax problems. Frequently, one year leads to another and another and snowballs into a larger problem. Often, the fear of the IRS leads to a simple inability to take action. Unfortunately, the IRS does not care why you have not filed tax returns or have unpaid liabilities. Unlike the IRS, we do care about our clients. Let us help you resolve your tax problems.

There are various options that may be available to you. Some of these options include:

• Offer in Compromise (i.e., cutting a deal for pennies on the dollar)
• Innocent spouse relief
• Installment agreements
• Release of wage levies
• Release of tax liens
• Abatement of penalties and interest

The first step is often the most difficult to take. All you have to do is pick up the phone and call us.

We can help. Call us before the IRS calls you! ®
