Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

If you're dealing with any of these IRS problems, you're not alone—and we can help.

📬 You received a scary IRS notice

Notices about audits, back taxes, or collection action can be overwhelming. We decode IRS letters and respond on your behalf.

💰 You owe back taxes you can't pay

Penalties and interest are piling up. We negotiate payment plans, settlements, and even tax debt reduction.

📊 You haven't filed in years

Life happens. We prepare all missing returns and clean up your tax record with the IRS.

🔒 Your wages are being garnished

IRS wage garnishments can devastate your finances. We work to stop or release garnishments fast.

🏠 There's a lien on your property

Tax liens damage credit and block refinancing. We help remove or subordinate liens legally.

😰 You're terrified to open IRS mail

Tax anxiety is real. We become your advocate, so you never have to deal with the IRS alone.

What Happens When You Ignore the IRS?

Understanding the IRS collection timeline can help you act before it's too late

Day 1-30: First Notice

The IRS sends your first notice of unpaid taxes. Interest and penalties begin accruing immediately at compound rates.

Day 30-60: Second Notice

More urgent letters arrive. The IRS begins internal collection procedures and your case is assigned to a revenue officer.

Day 60-90: Final Notice of Intent

You receive a "Final Notice of Intent to Levy" - your last warning before aggressive collection begins.

Day 90+: Collection Action Begins

The IRS can now legally seize your wages, bank accounts, property, and assets. Tax liens appear on your credit report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about IRS tax resolution

How fast can I see results from tax resolution services?

+

Timeline varies by case complexity. Simple penalty abatements can resolve in 30-60 days. Wage garnishment releases often happen within 1-2 weeks. Complex Offers in Compromise may take 6-12 months. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation.

Do you work with clients outside Michigan?

+

Yes—nationwide. We're a remote-first firm serving taxpayers across all 50 states. Our CPA and EA credentials allow us to represent clients before the IRS anywhere in the United States.

What makes you different from other tax resolution firms?

+

We're licensed professionals (CPA + EA) with advanced tax resolution certifications (CTRC, CTRS). Unlike many firms that use salespeople, you work directly with Frank and Lori. We're also active in the industries we serve, so our strategies are practical and proven.

I'm behind on filings—can you help?

+

Absolutely. We routinely clean up multiple years of unfiled returns and pair resolution with a go-forward compliance plan. The sooner you act, the better your options.

How much do your services cost?

+

Fees depend on case complexity and services needed. We provide transparent pricing after reviewing your situation during the free consultation. Most clients find our fees are far less than continued IRS penalties and interest.

Can you guarantee my tax debt will be reduced?

+

No ethical tax professional can guarantee specific outcomes. However, we have extensive experience negotiating favorable resolutions including Offers in Compromise, penalty abatements, and installment agreements. We'll give you an honest assessment of your options.

Will I have to deal with the IRS directly?

+

No. Once you hire us, we become your authorized representative. All IRS communication goes through us. You never have to speak with the IRS unless you choose to.

What should I bring to the consultation?

+

Bring any IRS notices, prior tax returns (if available), and information about your current financial situation. Don't worry if you don't have everything—we can request transcripts from the IRS on your behalf.
