Tax Resolution Services
Updated
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.
The essentials, at a glance
- First move
- Form 2848 is filed and IRS correspondence routes to your representative instead of you.
- Compliance first
- The IRS approves no resolution while required returns are still missing.
- The collection clock
- The IRS generally has ten years from the date of assessment to collect a balance.
- Where we work
- All 50 states. Practice rights before the IRS are federal, so location does not limit representation.

- Day one
- Power of Attorney filed

- The program that fits
Tax resolution is an umbrella term that covers everything from a simple payment plan to a complex Offer in Compromise. Some clients need a standard installment agreement. Some need an experienced negotiator at an in-person meeting with a Revenue Officer. Some need someone to file ten years of unfiled returns before any conversation about debt resolution can start.
Whatever the situation, our tax resolution specialists triage it on the first call. You leave the call with a clear plan, a written estimate, and a small dedicated team. As a licensed tax relief firm serving clients in all 50 states, we handle the entire resolution end-to-end.
How this case usually unfolds
IRS letters piling up · Tax resolution
A resolution case often starts with a stack of IRS notices and a client who has stopped opening the mail. We file Power of Attorney the same day so the letters and calls come to us, pull the full transcript history, get any missing returns filed, and then work the balance down to the program that fits.

Tax problems are common. They are not a moral failing. People we help include realtors who had a record year and forgot estimated payments, small business owners whose payroll provider missed deposits, gig workers who had no idea they owed self-employment tax, and W-2 employees whose former spouse never filed.
We have negotiated with the IRS on behalf of thousands of clients in situations like these.
What tax resolution services cover, end to end
IRS communication on your behalf
We file Form 2848 (Power of Attorney) on day one. From that point forward, IRS notices, calls, and meetings come to us.
Revenue Officer meetings
If the IRS has assigned a Revenue Officer to your case, that is serious. We attend the meeting with you, or in your place when permissible.
Wage garnishment release
A wage levy can take 25 percent or more of your paycheck. We file Power of Attorney and request a release as soon as a resolution is in motion.
Unfiled tax returns
You cannot settle tax debt with the IRS until you are in compliance. We prepare and file all unfiled years, then move into resolution.
Penalty and interest reduction
In many cases, a meaningful portion of the balance is penalty and interest. We pursue every legitimate reduction available.
Federal programs
Nine IRS programs. We look through them all.
Most tax debt is resolved through one of these nine programs. Which one fits depends on your numbers, your filing history, and assessment dates.

IRS 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.

IRS 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.
