Common IRS Problems We Help Solve
Wage Garnishment (IRS Wage Levy)
A Wage Levy happens when the IRS sends to your employer a Notice of Levy requiring that a portion of your paycheck is sent to the IRS. The IRS usually receives a significant amount of your paycheck until your taxes are paid in full. To stop wage garnishment, you need professional help.
Liens
A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt. After the IRS makes a tax assessment and sends a demand for payment, they can put a tax lien on taxpayer’s property. Once the lien is placed, the IRS generally will not release it until the taxes, penalties, and fees are paid off. Potential tax resolutions include filing an appeal with the IRS and have your lien reconsidered, possible payment or penalty reduction, exploring if Statute of Limitations has expired or qualification as Currently Not Collectible might be a good fit, or if all else fails, installment plan.
IRS Seizures
The IRS can seize assets—including cars, homes, or bank accounts—to collect on unpaid tax debt. We help clients challenge seizures, request asset releases, or pursue hardship exemptions when necessary.
Tax Debt Relief Options Available
Installment Agreements (IRS Payment Plans)
If you can’t pay your tax balance in full, we help you set up affordable monthly payments with the IRS to avoid collections and penalties.
Before requesting an installment agreement, you have to:
1) Be current on filing all prior year tax returns
- The IRS will only agree to an installment agreement if you’ve filed all your returns.
- Once you’ve entered into an agreement, it is a contract and you must pay all future taxes timely or your agreement may default.
2) Determine how much you can afford to pay the IRS each month by creating a budget and analyzing monthly income and expenses.
Currently Not Collectible (CNC Status)
If paying your tax debt would cause financial hardship, we can work with the IRS to temporarily pause collections and place your account in CNC status.
There are times where you agree you owe the IRS, but you can’t pay due to your current financial situation. If the IRS agrees you can’t both pay your taxes and your basic living expenses, it may place your account in Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status.
Offer in Compromise (Settle Tax Debt for Less)
For qualifying taxpayers, the IRS may agree to settle your debt for less than the full amount owed. We assess your eligibility and guide you through the Offer in Compromise program.
An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It may be a legitimate option if you can’t pay your full tax liability, or if doing so would create a financial hardship. The IRS may approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most it can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time. The Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone. Unique set of facts and circumstances needs to be considered: ability to pay; income and expenses and asset equity.
Innocent Spouse Relief
If your spouse (or ex-spouse) filed incorrectly or failed to report income, you shouldn’t be held responsible for their mistakes. We assist with Innocent Spouse Relief applications to remove tax liability from your record.
By requesting innocent spouse relief, you can be relieved of responsibility for paying tax, interest, and penalties if your spouse (or former spouse) improperly reported items or omitted items on your tax return. If the IRS tax bill is due to your former spouse’s fraud or negligence, we can help to determine if you qualify for tax relief and negotiate with the IRS for the most favorable outcome for you.
