Notices, collections, and back taxes, in an order that works.
An IRS letter in a drawer gets worse every month. Penalties grow, and a notice can turn into a lien and then a levy. Opening it with someone who reads these every week is the whole difference. We start with the letter you have. The owner file this sits in has three parts. Personal credit, score and report. Personal taxes, filings and anything open with the IRS. Personal finances, the personal financial statement, the one-page picture of what you own and owe that lenders ask for. We pull your transcripts on Form 8821, tell you what is owed and for which years, get unfiled returns in first, and then set up the plan the facts support. That can be a payment plan, penalty relief, hardship status, or an offer where the numbers really qualify. If the case needs someone who can speak to the IRS, we bring that person in and we stay on the file.
Every notice has a deadline. Missing it removes options. The first thing we do is find the next deadline and protect it.
Television promises of settling for pennies apply to a narrow set of facts. We will tell you honestly whether yours qualify before you pay anyone.
The IRS filed for you and the balance is inflated. Filing the real return is usually the biggest single reduction available.
Exact balances, years, and notice status. No guessing from the letters.
Unfiled returns prepared and filed, because no agreement is available until you are current.
Installment agreement, penalty relief, hardship status, or an offer, chosen by the facts, with the paperwork done and the deadlines tracked.
On Form 8821 we can see and write about your account. Speaking for you at the IRS needs Form 2848 and a person who is allowed to do that. When your case needs that we bring in one and we stay on the file.
Only the numbers can answer that, and we run them before recommending it. Most people do better with a payment plan and penalty relief than with an offer that gets rejected.
If a levy is active or close, say so in the form. The first step is contact with the IRS to protect the deadline.
The notice number in the top right corner is enough. We will know what it means.

A short call. It is almost never as bad as the drawer made it.
Form 8821, then the full picture in writing.
Missing returns filed, oldest first. Then the agreement the facts support, filed and watched until it is done.
