Premier Tax and Business Consulting, Led by an Enrolled Agent

Enrolled Agents are tax practitioners licensed directly by the U.S. Treasury. The license gives unlimited practice rights before the IRS, so an EA can represent people and companies in audits, collection cases, appeals, and payment negotiations anywhere in the country. EAs also prepare returns and review compliance. For a business owner, that means one person can do the planning and also take over if the IRS gets involved.

Yes. We confirm the full liability first, tax plus penalties plus interest, then compare that with your real ability to pay. The usual options are an installment agreement, an Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, penalty abatement, and catching up on missing returns. Which one works depends on IRS rules and your financial picture, so we don't promise a result before we've seen the numbers.

Right away. A levy can drain the operating account the day before payroll, and the notices that come before it carry hard deadlines. The sooner we're involved, the more options there are: verifying the amount, asking for a hold or release, and proposing an arrangement that deals with the actual debt, not just the levy in front of you.

It's a settlement program. If the IRS agrees you can't realistically pay the full balance, it may accept less. They look closely at income, allowable living or operating costs, assets, future earnings, and if all your returns are filed. You'll need complete financial forms and supporting documents, and you have to stay compliant while the offer is pending and for years after it's accepted.

Often. The IRS offers First Time Abate relief, reasonable cause relief, and a handful of other options. What qualifies depends on the penalty, your filing and payment record, and the reason things went wrong. A strong request tells the story clearly, attaches the proof, and speaks to the exact standard the IRS applies.

The IRS may file for you using only what it knows from W-2s and 1099s, with no deductions, and bill you for that number. Most payment plans and settlements also require missing returns to be filed first. We prepare them accurately and decide the sequence carefully, since each filing can move the balance and change your options.

Yes. When withheld payroll taxes aren't deposited, the IRS can assess the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty against anyone it considers responsible and willful. That can include owners, officers, and whoever signs the checks. We review your role, answer the IRS letters, and work on the Form 941 balance before personal assessments are made.

Every IRS notice you've received, copies of filed returns and a list of unfiled ones, your latest balance info, income records, bank and investment statements, business financials, monthly expenses, and anything on major assets or loans. For companies, add payroll reports and any Form 941 notices. If you hold government contracts, bring a summary of active awards too, because cash tied up in receivables affects what you can offer the IRS.
