Tax Resolution Services in Dallas, TX

Tax resolution is the work of getting an IRS problem closed. That might be a balance you can't pay, a stack of unfiled years, an audit, penalties that keep growing, or a levy that already hit your paycheck. We start by pulling your IRS transcripts and confirming what's actually on the account. Then we pick the route that fits, whether that's a payment plan, penalty abatement, Currently Not Collectible status or an Offer in Compromise, and handle the IRS contact for you.

Yes. Our founder is federally licensed as an Enrolled Agent by the U.S. Treasury with unlimited practice rights before the IRS. Because IRS matters are federal, it doesn't matter that we're based in Maryland; we represent Dallas clients in audits, collections, appeals and payment negotiations just as we would locally. Nobody can promise a particular outcome, but you'll have an authorized professional handling the case.

Sometimes. An Offer in Compromise is accepted only when the IRS concludes it can't reasonably collect the full amount. It weighs your income, allowable expenses, equity in assets and future earning potential, and you have to be current on all required filings. We run that calculation before anything is submitted. If an offer doesn't make sense, we'll say so and focus on what will work.

You agree to pay the balance in monthly amounts the IRS accepts. For smaller balances the setup can be fairly simple; larger ones need a financial statement so the IRS can check what you can afford. Interest and the late payment penalty keep running until it's paid off, and missing a payment or running up new tax debt can put the agreement in default. We set a payment you can actually keep.

Often. First Time Abate relief can remove failure to file, failure to pay and failure to deposit penalties for one tax period if your recent history is clean. Reasonable cause relief applies when something outside your control, like a serious illness or disaster, caused the problem. Interest tied to a removed penalty comes off too, though interest on the tax itself generally stays.

Call quickly and don't ignore the paperwork. With a bank levy, the bank holds the money for 21 days before sending it to the IRS, so there's a short window. Wage levies keep going every pay period. Gather recent pay stubs, bank statements, your last returns and a list of essential monthly expenses. We contact the IRS collection unit, look at whether a release or a payment arrangement is available, and deal with any missing returns blocking the way.

Usually, yes. Most payment plans and all Offers in Compromise require you to be current on filings. There's a practical reason too: if you haven't filed, the IRS may have prepared substitute returns with no deductions, which inflates the balance. Filing accurate returns often brings the number down and gives the rest of the case a solid starting point.

Yes, and it shouldn't wait. Unpaid Form 941 deposits grow fast, and the IRS can assess the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty against owners or managers personally for the withheld portion. We review filing and deposit history, current cash flow and who may be treated as a responsible person, then work out a plan with the IRS. For companies that keep running short, our fractional CFO work can fix the cash planning that caused the gap.
