IRS Tax Resolution Services in Jacksonville, FL

We take the IRS problem off your plate. That starts with pulling your IRS account transcripts and reviewing your finances so we know the real balance, which years are open and how far collection has gone. Then we choose the option that fits, deal with the IRS directly, prepare the paperwork and see it through. Typical cases involve unpaid tax, penalties, collection letters, audits, missing returns, levies and garnishments.

Yes. Florida has no state income tax, so nearly every tax problem we see from Jacksonville is federal, and federal representation is exactly what an Enrolled Agent is licensed for. Our founder holds that license from the U.S. Treasury, with unlimited practice rights before the IRS in all 50 states. Collections, audits, appeals, payment plans, penalty requests: we can handle all of it remotely once you sign Form 2848.

Yes, the IRS can and does release them. It typically happens when the balance is paid, a collection alternative like an installment agreement is in place, the levy is causing economic hardship, or the levy shouldn't have been issued in the first place. Speed matters: for a bank levy, the bank holds the funds for 21 days before sending them to the IRS. We review the account, contact the IRS quickly and send the financial documents needed to support a release.

It's the IRS agreeing to accept less than the full balance as a final settlement. The IRS weighs your income, allowable expenses, assets and future earning potential against what you owe, and you need to be current on filings. It's a detailed application, and plenty are rejected because they never should have been filed. We evaluate whether you realistically qualify before preparing anything, then build the package, submit it and handle the IRS during review.

Most people can. An installment agreement spreads the balance over monthly payments. What the IRS asks for depends on how much you owe and whether your returns are filed; larger balances need a full financial statement. The number has to leave room for rent, groceries and, for a business, payroll and suppliers. We work out a figure based on your documents and negotiate it with the IRS.

Generally, yes. The IRS usually won't approve a payment plan or an offer until all required returns are filed. Filing also replaces any IRS estimates with your real numbers, which often brings the balance down. We prepare the late returns ourselves and file them as part of the resolution plan, so no decision gets made with half the information.

Often, yes. First Time Abate relief is available for one tax year if your record for the prior three years is clean, and reasonable cause relief can apply when something serious, like a hurricane, a major illness or a death in the family, kept you from complying. Neither is automatic. We check which penalties qualify, then prepare a written request with the facts and supporting documents.

It varies a lot. Stopping a levy can happen in days if the paperwork is ready. A payment plan might be set in a few weeks. Offers in Compromise and audit appeals often take many months because the IRS reviews them in detail, and processing backlogs play a part too. The fastest thing you can do is send complete records early, so deadlines get met while the longer steps run in the background.
