IRS Audit Defense & Resolution Services
IRS examination representation, notice response, offer-in-compromise preparation, installment agreement negotiation, and penalty abatement for individuals and businesses facing IRS action.
What problem this service addresses
An IRS notice is a high-stakes communication that triggers strict response windows. Missing a 30-day notice forfeits options. A misstep in an examination can expand the audit's scope, trigger penalty assertions, or waive privileges that should have been preserved. Most taxpayers handle IRS matters reactively and emotionally; effective resolution requires procedural discipline and an understanding of which administrative options apply.

- Installment agreement negotiation including streamlined and partial-pay arrangements
- Penalty abatement: first-time abate, reasonable cause, and statutory exceptions
- Innocent spouse relief (Form 8857)
- Collection due process hearings (CDP) and Equivalent Hearings
- Trust fund recovery penalty defense for owners and responsible parties

The process from inquiry to ongoing work
Initial Assessment
We review the notice, confirm filing history via IRS transcript access, identify the procedural status, and document the response timeline.
Power of Attorney
Once engaged we file Form 2848 to communicate directly with the IRS on your behalf. From that point IRS communications come through us, not directly to you.
Resolution Strategy
We identify the procedural options that apply (audit response, appeal, offer, installment, penalty abatement) and propose the strategy with quantified expected outcomes.
Execution & Follow-Through
We execute the response, track IRS deadlines, and follow through until the matter is resolved or appropriately appealed.
FAQ
I just got an IRS notice, what should I do?
First, do not ignore it. Many notices have 30-day or 60-day response windows that determine your options. Forward the notice to us promptly and we will assess the procedural status.
Can you stop wage garnishment?
We can address wage garnishment through several procedures: installment agreement, currently not collectible status, offer in compromise, or collection due process hearings. The right path depends on facts.
Do I qualify for an offer in compromise?
Most marketed offer mills advertise OIC to people who do not qualify. Real OIC qualification depends on a detailed analysis of reasonable collection potential. We run the analysis before recommending the path.
Can you negotiate penalty abatement?
Yes. First-time abate is procedural; reasonable cause requires documentation; statutory exceptions are formula-driven. We pursue whichever applies.
