    Got one of these in the mail?

    IRS notices escalate on a schedule. Knowing which one you have tells us how much time there is to act.

    CP14Balance dueThe first bill. Interest and penalties are already adding up, but you have the most options here.
    CP504Intent to levyThe IRS may begin seizing state refunds and certain assets. A good time to get help.
    LT11Final noticeYou have 30 days to request a hearing before wage or bank levies can begin.
    668-WWage levyYour employer has been told to send part of your paycheck to the IRS. We can often move quickly here.

    How tax resolution works with us

    A clear process with a fixed fee for each phase. You'll know what's next before it happens.

    1. Free consultationA 20-minute call with a tax professional. We listen, ask about your notices and explain options in plain English.
    2. InvestigationWith your permission, we pull your IRS transcripts, confirm what's owed and place a hold on collections where possible.
    3. ComplianceAny unfiled returns are prepared and filed. The IRS requires this before most relief programs.
    4. ResolutionWe negotiate the best available option for your situation and stay on as your representative until it's in place.

    Every case is handled by credentialed tax professionals authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS.

    Common questions

    Something else on your mind? Call (555) 016-7730.

    Most people don't qualify for an Offer in Compromise, and we'll tell you honestly if you're unlikely to. The IRS decides based on your income, expenses and assets. For many clients, a manageable payment plan or penalty relief is the realistic goal.

    The consultation is free. If you hire us, we quote a flat investigation fee first, then a flat resolution fee once we know exactly what's needed. No surprise hourly bills.

    In many cases we can request a levy release once you're in compliance and a resolution is in progress. Timing depends on the IRS and your situation.

    No. Once you sign a power of attorney form, we communicate with the IRS on your behalf.

    Yes. We work with state tax agencies across the country alongside any federal matters.

    The IRS isn't going to wait. Let's look at your options today.
