IRS Tax Problem Resolution from Expert CPAs
Are you dealing with the IRS? We help individuals and businesses nationwide resolve back taxes, audits, liens, levies, and wage garnishment, confidentially and on your side.
IRS tax problem resolution, handled for you
If you are facing IRS notices, back taxes, an audit, or collection action, Legacy CPAs provides IRS tax problem resolution for individuals and businesses nationwide. Because these problems rarely improve on their own, we deal with the IRS directly, protect your rights, and work toward the resolution that fits your situation. From your first consultation onward, a licensed CPA handles the paperwork and the negotiations, so you can get back to your life.
IRS problems usually get worse when ignored
IRS problems don’t just disappear. In most cases, they grow as penalties and interest are added every day, and once the collection process begins the IRS gains powerful tools to pursue what you owe. Fortunately, acting early gives you the most options, so the sooner we get involved, the more we can usually do.
IRS tax problem resolution services we provide
Whatever kind of IRS problem you are facing, there is usually a path forward. Here are the situations we handle most often.
If your return is selected for audit, we handle the process for you. We prepare your response, deal with the IRS, and guide you through each step, so you rarely have to talk to them directly.
Non-Filed Tax Returns
Unfiled returns create mounting penalties and real enforcement risk. We prepare and file your prior-year returns to bring you back into compliance.
Back Taxes Owed
When you owe back taxes, penalties and interest keep building until the balance is resolved. Fortunately, you usually have more options than you expect, including installment agreements, penalty relief, and in some cases a settlement. First, we review exactly what you owe and why. Then we help you choose the resolution that fits your finances and negotiate it with the IRS.
Payroll Tax Problems
The IRS treats unpaid payroll taxes very seriously, because they include money withheld from employees. We help you organize records and work toward a resolution before the risk grows.
IRS Liens
A tax lien can affect your credit and your ability to borrow. We help you understand the notice and explore your options for resolving it.
IRS Levies
A levy allows the IRS to take funds directly from your bank accounts. In many cases, we can help you work toward a levy release.
IRS Wage Garnishment
IRS wage garnishment takes money straight from your paycheck, and it can put a serious strain on your finances. The good news is that a garnishment can often be reduced or released once you are actively working toward a resolution. Because timing matters here, the sooner you act, the more leverage you have. We move quickly to negotiate a more manageable arrangement on your behalf.
IRS Seizures
To satisfy a debt, the IRS can pursue homes, vehicles, and other assets. We help you understand your options and respond quickly.
IRS Payment Plan
If you don’t qualify for a settlement, an installment agreement may be a practical path forward. We help you set one up on terms you can actually manage.
Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise may let qualifying taxpayers settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Not everyone qualifies, however, because the IRS closely examines your income, expenses, and assets first. Therefore, we evaluate whether you are a realistic candidate, and if so, we prepare and submit the offer for you. If it isn’t the right fit, we point you to the option that is.
Bankruptcy
Certain back taxes may be dischargeable through bankruptcy if you qualify. We help you understand how it connects to your overall situation.
Innocent Spouse Relief
Relief may be available when tax problems were caused by a spouse or former spouse. We review whether you may qualify.
