Unfiled Tax Returns Require Immediate Attention
If you have unfiled tax returns, addressing this issue promptly is essential. Filing delinquent returns often reduces your total tax liability because the IRS substitute returns filed on your behalf typically do not include deductions, credits, or exemptions you may be entitled to claim.
When taxpayers fail to file, the IRS may prepare substitute returns based on income information they receive. These returns use the least favorable filing status and do not include standard deductions for dependents, mortgage interest, business expenses, or other legitimate deductions that could significantly reduce what you owe.
Our Fresno tax team can help you prepare and file past due returns accurately, which is the necessary first step toward resolving any outstanding tax debt.
Removing Bank Levies and Tax Liens
The IRS can enforce collection through bank levies and tax liens, both of which create serious financial difficulties. A bank levy allows the IRS to seize funds directly from your account, while a federal tax lien gives the government a legal claim against your property.
Tax liens appear on credit reports and can prevent you from selling or refinancing property until the debt is resolved. Once a lien is filed, it attaches to all your current and future assets until the liability is satisfied or other arrangements are made.
Our Fresno tax attorneys can help you respond to these collection actions. In many cases, levies can be released and liens may be withdrawn or subordinated if you enter into an appropriate payment arrangement or qualify for other resolution options.
Taking action quickly helps minimize additional penalties and interest while preserving your ability to access your funds and manage your property.
Offer in Compromise and Other Settlement Options
An Offer in Compromise allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. The IRS approves these offers when either the tax liability is in dispute or collection of the full amount would create economic hardship.
Qualification requires demonstrating that you cannot pay the full amount within the time the IRS has to collect, or that paying the full amount would create financial hardship. The IRS evaluates your income, expenses, assets, and future earning potential using specific formulas and guidelines.
The application process requires detailed financial disclosure, and incomplete or inaccurate information can result in rejection or additional scrutiny. Our tax professionals can assess whether you may qualify and help prepare a complete application that presents your financial situation accurately.
Other resolution options include installment agreements, currently not collectible status, and penalty abatement. The appropriate solution depends on your specific financial circumstances and the nature of your tax debt. Our Fresno team can explain which options apply to your situation and help you pursue the most beneficial resolution available.
