We help you get tax returns up-to-date. This is important because the IRS will not look at Offers in Compromise or other payment options until you are up-to-date with your filings. Additionally, if an Offer in Compromise is the route we take, we want all the tax debt included in the offer.

If you are being held liable for a tax debt that your spouse created, there may be options to separate your tax liability from your spouse's. This depends on the fact and circumstances of your case.

Some tax debt is dischargable in bankruptcy. We can analyze your tax debt to determine if bankruptcy would be an option. Sometimes, even if tax debt is not dischargable, it makes sense to manage it through a bankruptcy when you cannot reach an agreement on a repayment plan or an Offer in Compromise. We can review your tax debt to determine if this an option. Our office does not file bankruptcy, we work with your attorney to analyze the dischargability of the tax debt.

A request for information can be made to the IRS to obtain the information used by the IRS to decide to assess taxes and penalties.
