How we work
We start with your numbers, not a promise
The first step is a full financial picture: income, necessary living expenses measured against IRS standards, assets, equity and what the IRS has already assessed. Only after that can anyone say honestly whether you are a candidate for a settlement, a payment plan, or a hardship status. Anyone quoting a settlement figure before seeing that picture is guessing.
Stopping collection action
If wages are being garnished or a bank account has been levied, that becomes the priority. Once we are authorized to represent you, the IRS deals with us instead of calling you, and we work to get active collection lifted while the longer term resolution is put together.
Choosing the right relief program
An Offer in Compromise settles for less than the full balance, but only for taxpayers whose finances genuinely support it. An installment agreement spreads the balance over time. Currently Not Collectible pauses collection when there is nothing left after necessary expenses. Penalty abatement can remove additions to tax where there was reasonable cause. We match you to the one that fits and prepare the filing properly, because most rejections come from weak documentation rather than a weak case.
Unfiled returns come first
The IRS will not approve most relief while returns are missing, and returns it files on your behalf claim no deductions you are entitled to. Getting those years prepared and filed usually reduces the balance before any negotiation starts.

Common questions
Can you settle my debt for less than I owe?
Sometimes, and only when your finances support it. The IRS approves an Offer in Compromise based on what it calculates it could reasonably collect from you, not on negotiation. We will run that calculation with you before saying whether it is realistic.
Will the IRS stop contacting me?
Once you authorize us to represent you, the IRS is required to direct contact to us instead of to you. That change alone is the part most clients say they felt immediately.
What if I cannot pay anything right now?
That is a recognized situation. If necessary living expenses consume your income, Currently Not Collectible status can pause active collection. It is not forgiveness, and interest continues, but it stops the pressure while circumstances change.
I have not filed in years. Should I file before calling?
Call first. The order matters, and filing several years at once without a plan can trigger collection on the full balance before any relief is in place.
