Tax resolution refers to the legal process of resolving outstanding tax debts or disputes with the IRS or state tax agencies.

An offer in compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is available to those who demonstrate an inability to pay their full tax liability.

Prompt action is important to prevent further penalties and enforcement actions. Our firm works to identify the most suitable resolution options based on your financial situation and tax history.
The duration of the tax resolution process varies depending on the complexity of the case and the responsiveness of tax authorities.

Yes, it is possible to settle tax debt for less than the full amount owed through an offer in compromise. This option is available to taxpayers who demonstrate that paying the full debt would cause financial hardship or is otherwise unfeasible. The IRS evaluates offers based on factors such as income, expenses, assets, and overall ability to pay. Our legal team helps prepare and submit these offers, increasing the likelihood of acceptance by thoroughly documenting your financial situation and negotiating on your behalf.
Ignoring tax notices can lead to serious consequences including increased penalties, interest, and enforcement actions such as wage garnishments or bank levies. The IRS and state tax agencies have the authority to take steps to collect unpaid taxes without further notice once the debt becomes delinquent. Responding promptly to tax notices and seeking resolution can prevent these outcomes. Our firm advises clients on the best course of action to address notices and avoid escalating problems.
Payment plans are often available for taxpayers who cannot pay their tax debts in full immediately. These installment agreements allow for monthly payments over time to satisfy tax liabilities. Qualification for payment plans depends on the amount owed and the taxpayer’s financial situation. Our attorneys assist clients in applying for suitable payment arrangements and negotiating terms that fit their budgets while complying with tax regulations.
Tax resolution itself does not directly affect your credit score because tax debts are not typically reported to credit bureaus. However, if the IRS files a tax lien due to unpaid taxes, this public record can impact your creditworthiness. Resolving tax debts before liens are filed or having liens released through resolution can help protect your credit. Our firm works to minimize negative effects by negotiating timely settlements and addressing liens proactively.
While it is possible to handle tax resolution independently, the process can be complex and time-consuming. Tax laws and procedures require careful navigation to avoid mistakes that could worsen your situation. Hiring a legal professional provides guidance, ensures all paperwork is correct, and offers representation in negotiations with tax authorities. This support can improve the chances of a favorable resolution and reduce stress during the process.
Starting the tax resolution process requires gathering key documents such as tax returns for recent years, IRS or state tax notices, proof of income, and records of expenses and assets. Having complete and organized documentation helps your attorney assess the case accurately and develop effective strategies. During your initial consultation, we will review your materials and request any additional information needed to proceed.

If approved, the offer resolves your tax liability and prevents further collection efforts. Our legal team assists in compiling the offer and negotiating with tax authorities for the best possible terms.
