Resolution Services
IRS & New York State Tax Resolution Services
Offer in Compromise
For qualifying taxpayers, an Offer in Compromise may allow you to settle federal or state tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility depends on your income, expenses, and assets — we'll evaluate whether this is a realistic option for you.
- IRS Form 656 preparation
- State OIC programs
- Doubt as to collectibility
- Doubt as to liability
Penalty Abatement
The IRS and state agencies may remove or reduce penalties when there is reasonable cause. We review your situation to identify whether an abatement request is appropriate and submit it on your behalf.
- First-time penalty abatement
- Reasonable cause abatement
- Federal and state penalties

Installment Agreements
When paying in full isn't possible, a structured payment plan may allow you to resolve your debt over time while stopping further collection action. We negotiate the terms directly with the IRS or state agency.
- IRS installment agreements
- State payment plans
- Partial pay agreements
- Streamlined installment plans
Currently Not Collectible

- Collection holds
- Hardship documentation
- Annual review management
Audit Representation
An audit notice doesn't mean you did something wrong — but navigating one alone is risky. We represent you before the IRS or state agency, handle all correspondence, and make sure your rights are protected throughout.
- IRS audit representation

- Correspondence audits
- Field and office audits
Back Tax Filing
Unfiled returns create compounding penalties and interest. We prepare and file delinquent federal and state returns to bring you back into compliance — and help you understand where things stand going forward.

Questions
Common Questions About Tax Resolution
- What is an Offer in Compromise?
- An Offer in Compromise is an IRS program that may allow qualifying taxpayers to settle their federal tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility depends on your income, expenses, assets, and the specific facts of your case. Not everyone qualifies — we evaluate your situation honestly before recommending this path.
- Can you stop IRS collection actions like levies or garnishments?
- In some cases, it may be possible to request a hold on collection activity while a resolution is being pursued. Whether that applies to your situation depends on the type of action, your current status with the IRS, and the resolution approach being taken. We review this at your free consultation.
- How long does tax resolution typically take?
- It depends on the resolution type. An installment agreement can often be established in a matter of weeks. An Offer in Compromise typically takes several months to process. We give you a realistic timeline based on your specific case — not a general estimate.
- Do I have to communicate with the IRS myself?
- Once we are formally authorized to represent you, we can generally handle communications with the IRS and applicable state tax agencies on your behalf. You may still need to provide information, sign documents, or participate in certain proceedings.
- Do you handle New York State tax debt as well as federal?
- Yes. We work with both the IRS and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, as well as other state tax agencies where applicable.
