We maintain an A rating with the BBB and have worked with thousands of clients across the country. Our firm has operated continuously in an industry where compliance and ethical standards are essential.
Tax debt can create significant financial pressure, making it difficult to meet regular living expenses. When the IRS takes collection action through wage garnishments, bank levies, or tax liens, the impact on your finances can be immediate and severe.
Our attorneys work directly with the IRS to explore resolution options and help protect your income and assets while you address your tax obligations. We handle the communication and negotiations so you can focus on your work and family.
If you owe several thousand dollars or more to the IRS, consulting with a knowledgeable tax attorney can be valuable. A tax resolution firm with a solid track record understands IRS procedures, qualification requirements for various relief programs, and how to present your case effectively.
The difference between various resolution outcomes can be substantial, depending on which programs you qualify for and how your case is presented.
Our team regularly works with the IRS and understands current programs, procedural requirements, and how to prepare applications that accurately represent your financial situation.
We have advisers, CPAs and tax attorneys available to evaluate your tax situation and explain your options.
Understanding the Offer in Compromise program and whether you may qualify
An Offer in Compromise allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This program is available to taxpayers who can demonstrate they cannot pay their full tax liability or that doing so would create financial hardship.
Qualification depends on your income, expenses, asset equity, and ability to pay. The IRS has specific formulas and requirements for this program.
It’s important to understand that the information you provide in an Offer in Compromise application is thoroughly reviewed by the IRS. Incomplete or inaccurate applications may be rejected, and the information disclosed can affect your case.
Our tax attorneys can help you determine whether you may qualify for this program and assist with preparing a complete application that accurately reflects your financial circumstances.
Installment Agreements allow you to pay your tax debt over time
If you cannot pay your tax debt in full immediately, an Installment Agreement allows you to make monthly payments over an extended period. This is one of the most common resolution options for taxpayers who have the ability to pay their debt but need time to do so.
The IRS offers various types of payment plans depending on how much you owe and your financial situation. The monthly payment amount and length of the agreement depend on your total debt and your ability to pay.
Our tax help team can assist you in negotiating a payment plan that fits within your monthly budget while satisfying IRS requirements.
Addressing tax liens and bank levies requires prompt action
If the IRS has filed a tax lien or issued a bank levy, taking prompt action is important to minimize the impact on your finances and explore options for release or withdrawal.
A federal tax lien is a legal claim against your property due to unpaid tax debt. It attaches to your assets, including real estate, vehicles, and financial accounts, and becomes public record. While a lien is in place, it can affect your ability to sell or refinance property and may impact your credit.
A bank levy allows the IRS to seize funds directly from your bank account to satisfy tax debt. Our team in Cleveland can help you understand your options for releasing levies and liens, which may include paying the debt, setting up a payment plan, or qualifying for other relief programs.
