Accounting and Tax Compliance Services

Compliance is the unglamorous work of filing what you owe, when you owe it, with records to back it up. For a business that means income tax returns, payroll filings like Form 941 and W-2s, information returns like 1099-NEC, and sales or state filings where they apply. For individuals it's the annual return and any foreign account reporting. When something has already slipped, compliance is also step one of any IRS resolution, because the IRS rarely negotiates with a taxpayer who isn't current.

Read it, find the response date, and keep the whole letter with your records. A notice might ask for information, show a balance, propose changes to a return or warn of collection. Don't let the date pass and don't send a partial answer. We can check the notice against your transcripts, confirm whether the IRS is right, and respond for you.

Yes. Enrolled Agents hold a Treasury license with unlimited practice rights before the IRS, and that includes audits, collections and appeals. The founder also leads each engagement, so the person keeping your filings in order is the same one who answers to the IRS if questions come up.

Some people qualify for an Offer in Compromise, which settles the balance for less than the full amount. The IRS looks at income, expenses, assets, future earning power and whether all returns are filed. We do the analysis before anything is prepared, so you don't spend months on an offer the IRS was never going to accept.

The IRS may build a substitute return from the W-2s and 1099s it has, usually without the deductions or credits you'd claim. Filing your own accurate returns replaces that and shows the real balance. We sequence the late filings with any payment plan or settlement you're considering so they work together.

It lets you pay the balance in monthly installments instead of all at once. The amount needs to fit your finances and satisfy IRS standards. The catch: you must file and pay future taxes on time. A new balance or a missed return can put the agreement in default, which is why ongoing compliance matters so much here.

Yes, after it sends the required notices, including a final notice of intent to levy that gives you 30 days to request a hearing. You can still respond, appeal or propose an alternative at that point. Acting fast protects your paycheck, bank balance and business operations, and the notice history tells us which options are still open.

We work on missed payroll deposits, late or unfiled Forms 941, employment tax balances and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty exposure, which can land on owners and officers personally. Fixing it takes accurate payroll records, catching up the filings, confirming the balance, and getting current deposits on schedule while the old debt is resolved. For government contractors, we also make sure labor costs and payroll tie cleanly into DCAA ready books.
