IRS Problem Resolution

A clearer path
through IRS problems.

Help with back taxes, IRS notices, liens, levies, audits, and payroll tax issues starts by identifying the notice, deadlines, and facts.

Understand the next steps

  • Identify the notice
  • Note the deadlines
  • Gather the facts

First, separate urgency from options

Tax problem resolution and representation support depend on the professional engaged, the tax issue, deadlines, and the client facts.

From the notice to a considered response

  1. 01NoticeWhat arrived, and who sent it
  2. 02DeadlineResponse dates printed on the notice
  3. 03RecordsWhat has already been filed or paid
  4. 04OptionsResponses weighed against the facts

The right option starts with your circumstances.

Offers in Compromise, Installment Agreements, penalty abatement, and other resolution paths may be considered based on the circumstances.

Recommendations depend on the client circumstances.

  • Offer in Compromise

    Review whether a settlement option may fit your circumstances.

  • Installment Agreement

    Consider whether a payment arrangement is appropriate.

  • Penalty abatement

    Review the circumstances surrounding assessed penalties.

  • Other resolution paths

    Identify other responses relevant to the issue and your records.

May be considered based on the circumstances — never promised in advance.

No outcome is promised before review

Every recommendation starts with a review of your tax issue, records, and response dates. Understanding those details helps clarify which next steps may be appropriate.
