Tax Resolution

Tax resolution is the negotiated settlement of IRS or state tax debt through programs like Offer in Compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatement, or Currently Not Collectible status. It is handled by professionals authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS — licensed attorneys and IRS-registered tax professionals such as enrolled agents.

Most cases resolve in 3–9 months. Simple installment agreements and penalty abatements can close in weeks; Offer in Compromise typically takes 6–12 months. Complex audits or Tax Court cases can run longer.

Once we file Form 2848 (Power of Attorney), the IRS must communicate through our firm and, in most cases, we can request a collection hold within 24–72 hours while we build your resolution plan.

The initial tax resolution consultation is free. If it fits your case, you may choose the separate $350 Total Tax Diagnostic & Blueprint. With your authorization, we request IRS transcripts and review the income, filing history, balances and account activity they show. We compare those records with your notices and other information to identify missing or inaccurate returns or records that may need reconstruction. Findings help us explain next steps and proposed work with a fixed quote. The diagnostic does not include return reconstruction, tax preparation or representation and does not guarantee a resolution. Its fee is credited toward resolution work when applicable.
