Tax Relief Services & Programs for IRS Tax Debt
Tax relief services are not one product. The IRS offers multiple tax debt relief programs, and which one fits your case depends on your income, assets, and filing history. A licensed Enrolled Agent walks every option with you and runs the one that costs you the least.
Explore this serviceTax Resolution Services
Tax resolution is the work of fixing an open IRS problem and getting collection to stop. When the IRS is sending letters, calling, or threatening to garnish wages, a tax resolution firm steps in, files Power of Attorney, and takes over from there. You do not talk to the IRS again unless you want to.
Learn moreBusiness Tax Preparation Services
Tax preparation by IRS Enrolled Agents and CPAs. Federal, state, and local returns for individuals, sole proprietors, S-corps, partnerships, and C-corps. We handle the current year, prior-year amendments, and unfiled back-year returns. The same team that prepares your return represents you if the IRS has questions later.
Learn moreIRS Representation for Audits, Notices and Appeals
Tax representation means a licensed professional speaks to the IRS on your behalf. Receiving an IRS notice is not the end of the world, but talking to the IRS without representation can turn a small problem into a large one. We file Power of Attorney on day one and handle every call, letter, and meeting from that point forward.
Learn moreIRS Tax Appeal Services
If you disagree with an IRS adjustment, you have a legal right to appeal. Most IRS appeals never get the attention they deserve because the taxpayer tries to handle them personally and the Office of Appeals officer compares the file against a professionally prepared one. We prepare the case, file the appeal under the right form, and argue it in writing or in conference.
Learn moreHow to Negotiate With the IRS
Yes, you can negotiate with the IRS. The IRS publishes several formal programs that let you settle tax debt for less than you owe, pay over time, or pause collection entirely. Knowing which IRS negotiation tool to ask for, and how to package it, is half the battle.
Learn moreUnpaid IRS Taxes: Delinquent Tax Help
Delinquent taxes are any federal or state tax owed but not paid by the filing deadline. Unpaid taxes do not get smaller by waiting: penalties and interest compound, and the IRS escalates from notice to lien to levy on a predictable timeline. The good news is every step of that path is reversible if you act before a levy hits.
Learn moreStop IRS Wage Garnishment & Tax Levy
An IRS wage garnishment can take 25 percent or more of every paycheck until the debt is paid. A bank levy can freeze your account and send the balance to the IRS in 21 days. We negotiate IRS levy releases and wage garnishment relief, and that work starts the day you engage us.
Learn moreIRS Tax Lien Help
A federal tax lien is the IRS's legal claim against everything you own when you have unpaid tax debt. It is not the same as a levy: a lien is a claim, a levy is a seizure. The lien is what stops you from selling your house, refinancing, or getting clean credit. There are four ways to deal with an IRS tax lien, and which one fits depends on whether you can pay, need to sell, or want it off your record.
Learn moreBack Taxes Help: Resolve Unpaid IRS Tax Debt
Back taxes are unpaid federal or state taxes from prior years. The longer back taxes sit unpaid, the more penalty and interest compound on top of the original balance, and the closer the IRS moves to a wage garnishment or bank levy. We handle back taxes from one year old to twenty years old.
Learn moreUnfiled Tax Returns Help
Unfiled tax returns are the most common problem we fix, and the one people are most afraid to face. The good news: filing years of unfiled taxes is almost always better than the alternative. Nothing else with the IRS can move (no payment plan, no settlement, no levy release) until your missing returns are filed. We prepare and file every unfiled year, in the right order, and take the fear out of getting current.
Learn moreIRS Tax Audit Help & Audit Defense
If you received an IRS audit letter, do not panic and do not respond on your own. The first response sets the entire scope of the audit. IRS audit defense by a licensed tax representative keeps the audit narrow, prevents expansion to other years, and protects against the most expensive mistake: saying too much.
Learn moreTax Settlement Services: IRS Offer in Compromise
Tax settlement services are the work of resolving an IRS balance for less than the full amount, and the Offer in Compromise is the federal program that does it. The IRS accepts a settlement only when it agrees it cannot realistically collect more, so the formulas have to be run before anything is filed. That is the part we do first.
Learn moreIRS Penalty Abatement
On an older tax balance, penalties are often a large share of what you owe. Penalty abatement is the process of getting IRS penalties removed, either through First-Time Abatement when your compliance history is clean, or through reasonable cause when something outside your control caused the problem. When a penalty is removed, the interest charged on that penalty comes off with it.
Learn moreHow our tax relief help works
Our three-phase tax debt relief process.
It starts with a free phone consultation. From there, we investigate your IRS file, then handle the resolution with the IRS on your behalf. Payment plans are available for every client.
01
Phase 1: Free phone consultation
We start with a free, confidential call to understand your situation, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether we can help. No cost, no pressure, no obligation.
02
Phase 2: Tax investigation
We file Power of Attorney (IRS Form 2848), pull your IRS account transcripts, and build a clear analysis of what is owed, your unfiled years, and the resolution programs you may qualify for.
03
Phase 3: Resolution
After our analysis, we walk you through a clear proposal: the resolution program that fits your case, the work it will take, and your payment options. If you move forward, we prepare the filings and communicate with the IRS on your behalf to pursue the resolution.

Choosing a tax relief company
What to look for in a tax relief company.

The best tax relief companies share a few traits: licensed professionals doing the work, fees you can see up front, and results you can verify. Here is how Innovative Tax Relief measures up. If your paycheck is already being garnished, start with wage garnishment attorney and IRS representation help.
Licensed pros, not salespeople
Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys do the work, not a call-center closer. That is the tax relief help you actually need.
Transparent, phased fees
No big upfront retainer. You see the cost before each phase, and payment plans are available for every client.
Reviews you can verify
383+ verified 5-star Google reviews. A tax relief company is only as good as the outcomes its clients report.

Common tax relief questions, clear answers.
If you don't see your question here, call us. Real people answer and will talk through your situation with you.
How much does tax relief actually cost?
We bill in phases (investigation, then resolution) rather than charging one large upfront retainer. Typical fees scale with the complexity of the case. Most cases fall between $2,000 and $7,500 total. You get a written estimate before any phase begins, and you decide whether to move forward to the next phase.
Will the IRS actually settle my tax debt for less?
In some cases yes, through an Offer in Compromise. It requires meeting strict IRS formulas around income, assets, and reasonable collection potential. Many cases settle through other programs instead — installment plans, partial-pay installments, Currently Not Collectible status, or penalty abatement. We will tell you on the first call which programs you are likely to qualify for.
How long does the process take?
Investigation usually takes 2 to 6 weeks. Resolution timelines depend on the program: an installment agreement can be negotiated in 30 to 60 days; an Offer in Compromise typically takes 6 to 12 months for the IRS to review and approve.
What if I have not filed taxes in years?
That is one of the most common situations we handle. We file all missing years first — that is required before the IRS will agree to any resolution. We also pull your IRS account transcripts to make sure the IRS does not have inflated estimated assessments on the books.
Can the IRS garnish my wages or Social Security?
Yes. The IRS can garnish wages, bank accounts, real estate, and Social Security benefits. Once Power of Attorney is on file, we request release of wage and bank levies as part of putting a resolution program in motion. Social Security levies can be addressed the same way; the IRS decides the timing in every case.
Do you handle state tax problems too?
No. Our work is federal IRS resolution. The IRS is a federal agency, so the back taxes, liens, levies, and wage garnishments we handle are federal matters, and we represent clients in all 50 states. State tax debt is governed by each state's own revenue department and is handled separately, so it falls outside what we do.
