We offer the following services:
There are many different types of resolutions we offer and have experience with, such as:
Installment Agreements
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
This is the most common type of resolution that most people qualify for. This type of agreement is a monthly payment plan that you agree to in order to repay your tax liability.
What we help with is ensuring you are on the most reasonable payment plan possible. Remember again that the agent or tax department you are working with is out to collect as much as they can. It helps to have an advocate helping to get you on a payment plan amount that you can handle on your own terms.
Partial Pay Installment Agreements
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
This is similar to the agreement outlined above, but it means that your monthly payment amount will not be large enough to pay off your entire balance before the statute of limitations expires for the taxing agents to collect on your balance.
In this type of agreement, you end up settling for less because you have only paid a portion of your balance before the rest expires and is considered uncollectable.
Offer in Compromise
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
This is the “pennies on the dollar” approach you have likely heard about. With an offer in compromise, you ask the government to settle for less than what you owe.
This type of resolution is very specific to your financial condition and is not something that everyone qualifies for. You can imagine that when you are asking the government to write off a large amount of debt, a lot of negotiation and financial information comes in to play.
This is why you should be wary of companies who offer this type of agreement without knowing your specific circumstances.
Penalty Abatement
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
A penalty abatement can be requested for various reasons, such as due to a good past history of compliance, or due to reasonable causes that had an effect on how your liability accrued.
The government is not shy about adding on penalties for failure to pay your taxes, so requesting a penalty abatement is a great way to try to reduce your tax bill, even if you wouldn’t otherwise qualify for an Offer in Compromise or Partial Pay Installment Agreement.
Company Restructuring
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
If you are running a business and the model you have is not setting you up for success, or preventing you from being able to effectively address your tax liability, we can visit options for restructuring your company.
This is very dependent on your specific circumstances, but you can call us to discuss if this is something that might help you and your business.
Lien Discharge/Withdrawal
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
If you have a tax lien affecting you because you are trying to get a loan, refinance, or sell property, we may be able to assist in requesting a discharge of the tax lien against a specific piece of property.
Or, you may also qualify for having your lien withdrawn entirely. Call us to discuss your circumstances and what options you have.
Levy Release
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
If you have had your bank account, wages, or accounts receivable levied, we can often assist in securing a release and ensuring future levies are not issued against you.
Call us to discuss your circumstances and what options you have.
Innocent Spouse / Injured Spouse
As always, partners grows with you!
We Provide Solutions To Help …
If you are being contacted by the IRS to pay a tax liability that you should not be affiliated with, we can help. The IRS often attaches spouses’ Social Security Numbers with a tax debt related to a current, or ex-spouse, and you may qualify for relief.
Please note that this may not be the case if you live in a community property state (AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI, and sometimes AK), but we can discuss your specific circumstances if you reside in one of these states to see if you qualify.
You may also qualify for other types of resolution strategies not listed. Please feel free to call us for a no obligation consultation
at 720-420-7996 to speak further about your specific circumstances.

As always, partners grows with you!
