Centennial Tax Attorney and Debt Relief Services
Location matters more than you might think when choosing tax representation. Our Denver tax lawyers serve all of Colorado, including Centennial, and our focus delivers advantages that distant firms simply cannot match.
- Knowledge of the Colorado Tax Code: State tax laws differ significantly from federal rules. We understand Colorado’s unique tax landscape—from state income tax quirks to local business tax requirements—ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
- Convenient Access to Your Attorney: Face serious tax problems? You deserve face-to-face consultation when you need it. Our Centennial office provides easy access for in-person meetings, with virtual options available for your convenience.
- Local IRS Procedure Knowledge: The IRS Denver District office, which handles Centennial cases, has specific procedures and local practices. Our familiarity with local IRS personnel, office protocols, and regional approaches gives our clients a strategic advantage.
- Serving Your Community: We proudly represent individuals and businesses across Centennial, Greenwood Village, Englewood, Littleton, and the Denver Tech Center. From the Southglenn area to the Arapahoe Road corridor, we’re your neighbors—and we’re invested in this community’s success.
Common Tax Problems We Solve in Centennial
Tax problems don’t discriminate. Whether you’re a self-employed contractor in the Denver Tech Center or a small business owner along Arapahoe Road, the IRS can disrupt your financial life without warning.
At Instant Tax Solutions, we’ve seen every type of tax problem—and we know exactly how to solve them.
Here are the most common tax issues facing Centennial residents and business owners, and how our firm delivers real solutions.
1099 Tax Relief
Independent contractors and gig workers face unique tax challenges. When you receive 1099 income, there’s no automatic withholding—which means many contractors discover at tax time they owe thousands more than expected.
We help 1099 workers resolve tax debt through installment agreements, offers in compromise, and strategic penalty abatement. More importantly, we implement quarterly estimated payment strategies that prevent future tax surprises and keep you compliant without draining your cash flow.
Back Tax Returns
Years of unfiled returns don’t disappear—they compound into bigger problems. The IRS can file substitute returns on your behalf, often overstating your tax liability and triggering aggressive collection action.
We prepare back returns strategically, claiming all legitimate deductions and credits to minimize what you owe. By bringing you into compliance quickly, we stop penalties from accumulating and protect you from criminal prosecution for willful failure to file. The peace of mind alone is worth it.
Bank Levy Release
Few things are more devastating than discovering the IRS has frozen your bank account. Bank levies can wipe out your checking and savings accounts in 21 days, leaving you unable to pay rent, mortgages, or basic living expenses.
We act immediately to release bank levies by negotiating payment arrangements, proving financial hardship, or challenging the underlying tax debt.
IRS Notices and Letters
That envelope from the IRS triggers instant anxiety. Whether it’s a CP2000 notice proposing additional taxes, a CP504 threatening levy action, or a Letter 1058 final notice, IRS correspondence demands expert attention.
We interpret IRS notices, respond within required deadlines, and handle all communication on your behalf. Many notices can be resolved favorably with proper response, but ignoring them guarantees worse outcomes.
IRS Penalty Relief
Tax penalties are punitive and aggressive—often adding 25% or more to your tax bill. Failure-to-file penalties, failure-to-pay penalties, and accuracy-related penalties can turn manageable tax debt into a financial catastrophe.
We pursue first-time penalty abatement for taxpayers with clean compliance histories, reasonable cause relief for those who faced circumstances beyond their control, and administrative waivers when IRS errors caused problems. Penalty relief can save you thousands and make your tax debt manageable.
Wage Garnishments
IRS wage garnishment is financial devastation in slow motion. The IRS can seize up to 70% of your paycheck, leaving you unable to cover basic living expenses.
Worse, garnishments continue indefinitely until your tax debt is resolved.
Payroll Tax Problems
Business owners face severe consequences for payroll tax issues. When companies fall behind on employment taxes, the IRS pursues both the business and individual owners personally through the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty.
We help businesses resolve payroll tax debt, negotiate payment plans that keep your company operational, and defend against personal liability assessments.
Comprehensive Centennial Tax Relief Services We Offer
Navigating the complexities of tax law can be daunting, but our team is equipped to guide you through every challenge. We offer a comprehensive suite of tax law services designed to address a wide range of federal and state tax issues, providing tailored solutions for individuals and businesses in Centennial.
From resolving outstanding debts to protecting your assets, our services cover the critical areas where you need strong legal advocacy.
IRS Offer in Compromise
An IRS Offer in Compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This powerful debt resolution tool can provide a fresh start when you’re unable to pay your full tax liability.
- Qualifying for an Offer: Not everyone qualifies for this program. The IRS considers your income, expenses, asset equity, and ability to pay.
- Strategic Application Preparation: Offer applications are complex and heavily scrutinized. We prepare comprehensive submissions with detailed financial documentation, legal arguments, and supporting evidence that demonstrate why the IRS should accept your offer.
- Negotiation & Appeals: If the IRS rejects your initial offer, we don’t give up. We negotiate with revenue officers, file appeals when appropriate, and fight for the lowest settlement amount possible. Our experience with local IRS procedures gives you a competitive advantage.
- Protection During the Process: While your offer is under consideration, the IRS typically suspends collection activity. We use this time strategically to protect your assets and create breathing room while working toward a resolution.
IRS Installment Agreement
Can’t pay your tax bill in full? An IRS Installment Agreement allows you to pay your tax debt over time through manageable monthly payments that fit your budget.
- Streamlined vs. Standard Agreements: For debts under certain thresholds, we can secure streamlined installment agreements with minimal financial disclosure. Larger debts require detailed financial analysis, which we handle efficiently to minimize intrusion into your finances.
- Partial Payment Installment Plans: If you can’t pay your full debt even over time, we may negotiate a partial payment plan where you pay what you can afford while the IRS writes off the remaining balance after the collection statute expires.
- Preventing Default: Missing payments trigger immediate default and collection action. We structure agreements that you can maintain and help you navigate financial changes that might affect your ability to pay.
- Reducing Interest & Penalties: While installment agreements don’t eliminate interest and penalties, we pursue penalty abatement strategies that reduce your overall debt and make your payment plan more manageable.
Innocent Spouse Relief
When your spouse or former spouse creates tax problems that aren’t your fault, Innocent Spouse Relief can protect you from liability for their tax mistakes, omissions, or fraud.
The IRS offers innocent spouse relief, separation of liability relief, and equitable relief. Each has different requirements and benefits. We evaluate your situation to determine which option provides the strongest protection.
If the IRS denies your innocent spouse claim, we can appeal the decision or petition the Tax Court for review.
Backup Withholding Assistance
Backup withholding occurs when the IRS requires payers to withhold 24% of your payments due to missing Tax ID numbers, underreported income, or other compliance issues. This can create serious cash flow problems.
We identify why backup withholding was triggered and take immediate action to resolve the underlying issue—whether that’s correcting your Tax ID information, filing missing returns, or resolving prior tax debt.
After resolving your immediate backup withholding problem, we implement compliance strategies that prevent future issues—ensuring your tax accounts stay current and your payments flow uninterrupted.
Tax Relief
When tax debt becomes overwhelming, comprehensive tax relief strategies can reduce what you owe and create a manageable path forward.
- Penalty Abatement: IRS penalties can double your tax debt. We pursue first-time penalty abatement, reasonable cause relief, and administrative waivers that can eliminate thousands of dollars in penalties—sometimes reducing your total debt by 25–50% or more.
- Currently Not Collectible Status: If you’re experiencing financial hardship, we can secure Currently Not Collectible status, which temporarily halts all IRS collection activity. While interest continues to accrue, this status provides critical relief when you simply cannot pay anything.
- Lien Withdrawal & Subordination: Tax liens destroy your credit and complicate financial transactions. We negotiate lien withdrawals when appropriate and secure lien subordination or discharge to facilitate refinancing, property sales, and other financial needs.
- Collection Statute Expiration: The IRS generally has 10 years to collect tax debt. We analyze collection statute dates and implement strategies that protect your assets until the collection period expires and your debt disappears.
- Comprehensive Relief Strategies: Often, the best solution combines multiple relief options—penalty abatement, installment agreements, and strategic delay. We create customized relief strategies that minimize your financial burden and resolve your tax problems permanently.
Centennial Tax Law FAQ
What does a tax lawyer do in Centennial, CO?
A tax lawyer provides legal representation for IRS disputes, state tax problems, and tax planning matters. Unlike CPAs or tax preparers, attorneys offer legal privilege protection, can represent you in Tax Court, and bring negotiation expertise to settlements.
We handle audits, collections, unfiled returns, business tax issues, and complex tax litigation.
How much does it cost to hire a tax attorney for IRS issues?
Fees vary based on case complexity. Simple matters like penalty abatement may cost $1,500–$3,000, while complex cases involving audits, appeals, or litigation typically range from $5,000–$15,000 or more.
We provide transparent fee agreements during your consultation and often structure payment plans. The cost of representation is almost always less than the cost of facing the IRS alone.
Do I need a tax lawyer or a CPA for back taxes?
It depends on your situation. CPAs excel at tax preparation and routine compliance.
However, if you face IRS collection action, penalties, audits, or potential legal consequences, a tax lawyer provides critical advantages: attorney-client privilege, legal negotiation skills, and the ability to represent you in court. For serious tax problems, legal representation is essential.
Can a Centennial tax lawyer negotiate with the IRS on my behalf?
Absolutely. Our Colorado tax attorneys have full power of attorney to represent you before the IRS, handling all communication and negotiation.
We negotiate installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, audit settlements, and collection alternatives. You never have to speak with the IRS directly—we become your voice and your shield.
How quickly can I get help with an IRS audit?
Immediately. IRS audits have strict deadlines, and early representation dramatically improves outcomes.
Contact us as soon as you receive an audit notice—we can typically meet within 24–48 hours for urgent matters. The sooner we engage, the more time we have to build your defense and protect your interests.
