Ignoring unpaid taxes can lead to serious consequences including penalties, interest, and enforced collection actions such as liens or wage garnishments.

Seeking professional advice can help you understand your options and avoid further financial damage.
Yes, payment plans or installment agreements are commonly used to resolve unpaid taxes. These arrangements allow you to pay your tax debt over time in manageable monthly payments. The terms of payment plans vary based on your financial situation and the amount owed. We can assist you in negotiating a plan that fits your capabilities while avoiding additional penalties and enforcement actions.
An offer in compromise is an agreement with the tax authority to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed.

They can provide significant relief but are subject to strict eligibility requirements.
Unpaid taxes themselves are not reported directly to credit bureaus, but related actions such as tax liens can negatively impact your credit score.

We can guide you to solutions that reduce these risks.
The duration for resolving unpaid tax matters depends on the complexity of your case, the amount owed, and the resolution method chosen.

Our team works diligently to expedite the process while ensuring thorough representation.
In some cases, penalties and interest on unpaid taxes can be reduced or waived, especially if you have reasonable cause or face financial hardship.

Receiving a tax lien notice indicates that the government has placed a legal claim on your property due to unpaid taxes.
