Whether you have unfiled tax returns, unpaid tax balances, IRS or state tax notices, an audit, a levy, or a federal tax lien, we can help you understand the issue and evaluate available resolution options. When representation is appropriate, Assel Ibrayeva, CPA, can communicate with the IRS or state taxing authority on your behalf and assist with resolving the matter based on your specific circumstances. Available options may include installment agreements, penalty relief, Currently Not Collectible status, Offers in Compromise, or other applicable resolution strategies.
Common IRS Problems We Help Address
Unfiled & Prior-Year Tax Returns
If you have missed one or more tax filing deadlines, getting required returns filed is often an important first step toward resolving an outstanding tax matter. We can help identify filing requirements, obtain available IRS transcript information when authorized, prepare delinquent returns, and address related balances or notices as part of the resolution process.
Wage Garnishment (IRS Wage Levy)
An IRS wage levy can require an employer to send a portion of a taxpayer’s wages to the IRS toward an outstanding tax liability. If you have received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy or your wages are already being levied, prompt action may be important. We can review your circumstances, communicate with the IRS when authorized, and evaluate available options for addressing the levy and underlying tax debt.
IRS Levies & Seizures
The IRS has collection authority that may include levying bank accounts and other property and, in some circumstances, seizing assets. If you have received a levy or seizure notice, we can review the collection action, communicate with the IRS when authorized, and evaluate available administrative or resolution options based on your circumstances.
Federal Tax Liens
A federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against a taxpayer’s property when a tax debt remains unpaid after assessment and notice and demand for payment. Depending on the circumstances, available options may include resolving the underlying balance, requesting a lien withdrawal or discharge when applicable, establishing a payment arrangement, or pursuing another appropriate collection alternative.
Tax Debt Relief Options Available
Installment Agreements (IRS Payment Plans)
If you cannot pay your tax balance in full, an IRS installment agreement may allow you to make payments over time. We can help evaluate available payment-plan options, determine what financial information may be required, and assist with requesting an appropriate installment agreement.
Eligibility and terms depend on factors such as the amount owed, filing compliance, financial circumstances, and the type of tax liability. Interest and applicable penalties generally continue to accrue until the balance is paid.
Currently Not Collectible (CNC Status)
If paying your tax debt would prevent you from meeting necessary living expenses, the IRS may determine that your account is Currently Not Collectible. CNC status generally suspends active collection while the financial hardship continues, although the underlying tax debt remains and interest and applicable penalties may continue to accrue. We can review your financial circumstances and help determine whether requesting Currently Not Collectible status may be appropriate.
Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise allows certain qualifying taxpayers to resolve a tax liability for less than the full amount owed. Qualification is based on IRS rules and the taxpayer’s specific financial circumstances; simply owing more than you can immediately pay does not necessarily mean you qualify.
We can evaluate whether an Offer in Compromise may be appropriate, analyze the financial information required by the IRS, and assist with preparing and submitting the offer when applicable.
Innocent Spouse Relief
In certain circumstances, a taxpayer who filed a joint return may qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief from some or all of a tax liability attributable to a spouse or former spouse. Eligibility depends on the facts of the case and the specific type of relief available.
We can review your circumstances, help determine whether an innocent spouse relief provision may apply, and assist with preparing the appropriate request and supporting documentation.
