Our Tax Resolution Services
Don't just hope your tax issues will go away. They won't. Our simple 3 step system will help you resolve your IRS problems permanently!
When the IRS comes calling, we have your back. What sets us apart is that we've been on the other side. We know what the IRS is going to do and how they're going to do it. Here are some of the most common strategies we'll utilize to resolve your IRS problems.
Offer In Compromise
An offer in compromise, or OIC, is an agreement where you have the opportunity to negotiate your tax bill, and reduce the amount you ultimately pay to the IRS; if your offer is accepted.
We will evaluate your specific case using IRS guidelines, policies, and procedures to help you determine if you're a good candidate for an OIC. Note that not everyone qualifies for this course of action, and the IRS is the final arbiter.
Delinquent Tax Returns
If you have un-filed tax returns, we need to get you current ASAP. The IRS will not come to the table for any settlement options until all previous years' returns are filed and current. In most cases, after all returns are filed, there will be additional taxes, penalties, and interest that you owe.
We'll determine what years and what returns you need to file and bring you current and in to compliance.
Audit Representation
Nobody likes to get the bad news that you're "under audit" by the IRS. But don't despair, we'll represent you every step of the way. We will be your advocate.
We'll appear before the IRS and speak to them on your behalf. When we represent you, in most cases, you will never see them or speak with them. We'll also advocate for you throughout the entire process to get the best possible outcome for you.
FOIA Requests
We have extensive experience with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for taxpayer records. We can assist individuals and businesses in making FOIA requests. When with the IRS, we provided guidance on numerous high-profile FOIA requests.
Our FOIA services include, but are not limited to obtaining audit administrative files, audit reports, and audit work papers.
Installment Agreements
IRS installment agreements, or "payment plans," give you the freedom and flexibility to slowly pay off your tax debt. Depending on how much you owe, you may be required to do a complete financial disclosure.
Once we review your situation, we'll see if you're qualified for an Installment Agreement and help negotiate a monthly payment amount to bring you current.
IRS Wage Garnishment
An IRS wage garnishment is an unpleasant situation where the IRS "takes" up to 75% of your paycheck until your tax bill is paid off. We will negotiate a wage garnishment release to help you challenge and stop the IRS from taking your paycheck.
If you're concerned this could happen to you, don't wait for the IRS to start taking your hard-earned money.
Tax Liens
A tax lien gives the IRS a legal claim on your assets and property. Federal Tax Liens can prevent you from borrowing any money, getting a car, and obtaining credit.
We can help you manage your IRS troubles. While the easiest way to get rid of a lien is to pay your debt in full, you may be eligible to reduce the amount you owe and spread out your payments over a length of time.
Amended Tax Returns
Sometimes, the IRS will send you a notice telling you they have problems with the tax return you just filed. If this is the case, Liberty Tax Defenders can help you determine if you need to file an amended return, or just provide additional information.
If you have already filed, the only way to make changes is to "amend" your original return. We'll help you determine the proper course of action to make the process as smooth and easy as possible.
Payroll Tax Problems
941 tax problems (or payroll tax), occur when the IRS does not receive funds that are withheld from an employee. Sometimes, you just make an honest mistake or you even struggle to make payroll. Unfortunately, the IRS views this as theft and they'll come after you relentlessly. They won't hesitate to shut your business down.
Don't face this alone. Let us negotiate with the IRS on your behalf so you can pay back these taxes under more pleasant circumstances.
