HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS

The tax resolution process is a structured approach to resolving IRS issues through evaluation, protection, negotiation, and compliance.
Our role is to simplify the process, reduce your stress, and move your case toward the best possible resolution—step by step.

STEP-BY-STEP TAX RESOLUTION PROCESS

STEP 1: FREE CONSULTATION

We begin by understanding your situation.

During this consultation:

  • We review your IRS concerns
  • Gather basic financial and tax information
  • Identify any urgent risks such as levies or garnishments

There is no obligation, and all information is kept confidential.

This step provides immediate clarity and helps you understand your options.

STEP 2: CASE ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY

After onboarding, we conduct a detailed analysis of your case. This includes:
  • Reviewing IRS transcripts and notices
  • Evaluating your total tax debt and penalties
  • Assessing your financial situation
Based on this, we determine the most effective strategy, which may include:
  • Offer in Compromise
  • Installment Agreement
  • Penalty Abatement
  • Currently Not Collectible status
You will receive a clear explanation of your options and recommended path forward.

STEP 3: IRS PROTECTION AND REPRESENTATION

Once we represent you, we take over communication with the IRS. We:
  • Speak directly with the IRS on your behalf
  • Request holds on collections when applicable
  • Work to stop wage garnishments or bank levies
This step is critical in reducing immediate pressure and protecting your financial stability. You no longer need to deal with the IRS directly.

STEP 4: NEGOTIATION WITH THE IRS

With your case prepared, we begin negotiating with the IRS. Our attorneys work to:
  • Reduce your total tax liability when possible
  • Establish manageable payment plans
  • Request removal or reduction of penalties
Every case is approached individually, based on IRS guidelines and your financial reality.
