Unpaid IRS Taxes and Collection Notices

If you owe the IRS and cannot pay in full, the first step is understanding your balance, collection status, and available options. Stephanie can review your IRS notices, account information, and financial circumstances to help determine an appropriate path forward. That may include a payment arrangement, an Offer in Compromise, or a request for hardship relief, depending on your eligibility.

Unfiled Tax Returns

When several years of returns are missing, it can be difficult to know which records you need or how to address the balance that may follow. Get help identifying outstanding filing requirements, organizing available records, and coordinating overdue filings with a plan for addressing your IRS tax issues through our comprehensive tax planning services.

IRS Payment Plans

A payment plan should account for both your existing tax debt and your ability to meet current obligations. Stephanie assists with evaluating installment-agreement options and addressing situations involving unaffordable payments, changed financial circumstances, or a notice that an existing agreement may be terminated.

Offer in Compromise Evaluation and Representation

An Offer in Compromise may allow an eligible taxpayer to resolve a tax liability for less than the full amount owed. It is not appropriate for every situation. Stephanie can evaluate whether an offer fits your circumstances, explain alternatives, and assist with the financial documentation and submission process when appropriate.

Financial Hardship and Currently Not Collectible Status

If paying the IRS would prevent you from meeting basic living expenses, financial hardship relief may be available. Stephanie can help evaluate your financial circumstances and prepare supporting information for an appropriate request. Currently Not Collectible status generally delays collection; it does not erase the tax debt.

IRS Tax Liens and Levies

A tax lien can interfere with a property transaction, while a levy can affect your bank account, wages, or other property. Get help reviewing collection notices, evaluating available remedies, and requesting appropriate relief. Learn about IRS tax liens and levies.

IRS Penalty Relief

The right approach to penalty relief depends on the type of penalty, the tax period, and the facts involved. Stephanie assists with reviewing assessed penalties, evaluating available relief, and preparing supporting explanations and documentation when a request is appropriate.

Innocent Spouse Relief

An unpaid balance on a joint return can raise difficult questions, particularly after separation or divorce. Stephanie helps evaluate potential relief from joint tax liability and assists with the records, explanations, and administrative process needed to present your request.

Business Payroll Taxes and Trust Fund Recovery Penalties

Unpaid payroll taxes can create collection problems for a business and potential personal liability for individuals involved in its finances. Stephanie assists with payroll-tax collection matters and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty issues, including reviewing IRS notices, gathering relevant records, and providing administrative representation.

IRS Administrative Appeals

If you disagree with an IRS decision, your next steps depend on the issue and the procedural stage. Stephanie can review the decision, explain available administrative options, and represent you before the IRS Independent Office of Appeals when appropriate.
