Tax Accountants and Tax Preparation Services

An Enrolled Agent is licensed by the U.S. Treasury to prepare returns and to stand in for taxpayers in front of the IRS. The license carries unlimited practice rights, so an EA can take calls from revenue officers, answer notices, sit in on audits, and handle appeals and collection cases for individuals and businesses in any state. Our founder holds this license and personally works every file.

Yes. We start by pulling your IRS account transcripts so we can see the real balance: tax, penalties, and interest, year by year. Then we look at your income and expenses. From there the realistic options usually come down to an installment agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, penalty abatement, or, for the right facts, an Offer in Compromise. IRS rules decide which ones fit, not wishful thinking.

Don't ignore it, and keep every letter. A levy or garnishment usually means earlier notices went unanswered, so the first job is calling the IRS, confirming what's open, and getting any missing returns filed. We review your income, expenses, and compliance gaps, then push for a release while we set up a payment arrangement or other resolution for the debt underneath it.

Usually they have to come first. The IRS generally won't approve a payment plan or settlement until required returns are on file. We prepare the missing years, check how each one changes the balance, and sequence the filings so they support the resolution you're aiming for rather than working against it.

It lets you pay an IRS balance over time instead of all at once. The IRS looks at how much you owe, whether your filings are current, and what you can actually afford. A good request proposes a monthly amount you can keep up with, because missing payments or falling behind on new taxes can put the agreement in default.

Sometimes. First Time Abate relief is available to many taxpayers with a clean recent history, and reasonable cause relief can apply when something like a serious illness or disaster got in the way. It depends on the penalty type and what you can document. Abatement takes off penalties, not the tax itself, and interest keeps running under IRS rules.

An Offer in Compromise lets some taxpayers settle for less than the full balance. The IRS wants full financial disclosure and will only accept an amount it sees as the most it could reasonably collect from you. Plenty of people don't qualify, so we run the numbers before anything is filed and tell you honestly whether an offer makes sense.

Yes. We handle Form 941 balances, missed payroll deposits, and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty exposure for owners and officers. Payroll problems grow fast because penalties stack each quarter, so it pays to act early. Many of our business clients are government contractors, and we can also clean up the books behind the payroll so the same issue doesn't come back.
