If your tax debt situation with the IRS (either through dealing with them yourself or with other representation) has resulted in an outcome you believe is less than fair and equitable, you have the right to appeal the IRS’s decision. The IRS has a special department devoted to this called the IRS Appeals Division. Expert representation before the IRS Appeals Division is critical in order for you to have the best opportunity for a satisfactory resolution in your favor. (read more)
You have the right to appeal to the IRS Office of Appeals when you receive notice or threat of IRS collection actions. These collection actions include:
- Federal tax lien
- Seizure and sale of property
- Intent to levy (wages, retirement accounts, bank accounts, accounts receivable, etc.)
- Rejection, termination, or proposed termination of an installment agreement
You also have the right to professional representation to guide you through this complex process and ensure that you get the best possible outcome. (read more)
Couples filing joint returns are held equally responsible for the tax return and the payment of appropriate taxes. In some cases, however, a spouse can be relieved of all IRS tax, interest, and penalties on a joint return. In essence, three types of relief are potentially available for people who believe the tax debt is not their responsibility: innocent spouse relief, separation of liability, and equitable relief. Each has different requirements. (read more)
An agreement between you, the taxpayer, and the IRS that settles your tax debt for less than the full amount owed is called an Offer In Compromise. The IRS offers this leniency program for people who cannot pay their tax debt in full, have exhausted all payment options available, and the IRS has doubt about whether you could ever pay the full amount owed, or there is legitimate doubt that the liability is correct.

The IRS is particularly aggressive when it comes to collecting on delinquent payroll taxes (IRS forms 940 and 941). Failure to properly pay the IRS for taxes withheld from employees’ wages is considered stealing from the employees. If you have failed to withhold or pay payroll taxes, you can incur huge IRS penalties as well as face potential civil or criminal sanctions. The survival of your business may be at risk. Your assets could be seized and the IRS may hold you personally responsible. (read more)
IRS penalties and interest can cause a small delinquent tax debt to compound into an unmanageable amount within a very short period of time. Penalties alone can make up 25% of the amount you owe. Our experienced tax attorneys are expert at penalty abatement – getting the IRS to either completely or partially remove your penalty, to reduce the amount you owe and help you get your tax debt resolved quickly.

If you owe the IRS and have ignored repeated letters and warnings, the IRS will likely use one of their most aggressive tax collection methods – wage levy, also known as wage garnishment. It is a legal way for the IRS to collect without you paying them directly. Your employer will be contacted and by law, must take a portion of your pay and send it to the IRS. How much? Based on some guidelines, the IRS can garnish upwards of 80% of your wages until your balance is paid, which often leaves little to live on. Wage garnishment is not to be taken lightly. But we can help. (read more)
