Tax Resolution and Representation

Facing an inquiry from the IRS or a state revenue department requires a calculated and professional response. Whether you are dealing with an audit notice, a notice of deficiency, or unresolved back taxes, these situations require an advocate who understands the specific procedures used by taxing authorities.

At PSA CPA, we specialize in tax resolution and representation. We act as the formal intermediary between you and the government, protecting your rights and negotiating toward the most favorable legal outcome.

Offer in Compromise (OIC)

If your total tax debt exceeds your realistic ability to pay, the IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC) program may allow you to settle the liability for a fraction of the original amount. This program is specifically designed for taxpayers facing genuine financial hardship.

We provide a methodical approach to debt settlement:

• Eligibility Evaluation: We perform a detailed analysis of your assets, income, and expenses to determine if you meet the strict IRS criteria for an offer.
• Settlement Calculation: We calculate a settlement amount that aligns with IRS guidelines and has a higher probability of acceptance.
• Comprehensive Submission: We prepare the complex filing packages required by the IRS, ensuring all financial disclosures are accurate and substantiated.
• Formal Negotiation: We manage the multi-month negotiation process with IRS offer examiners on your behalf.

Comprehensive Tax Resolution Services

Beyond representation and settlements, we provide specialized support for a wide range of state and federal tax challenges:

• Penalty Abatement: Seeking the reduction or removal of penalties based on “reasonable cause” or first-time abatement rules.
• Currently Not Collectible (CNC): Negotiating a temporary pause in collection activities if the debt creates an immediate financial hardship.
• Wage Garnishment and Levy Release: Intervening to stop aggressive collection actions and recover seized assets.
• State Tax Issues: Providing representation for state-specific examinations, residency disputes, and back tax notices.
• Unfiled Returns: Navigating the process of bringing your accounts into full compliance to avoid further enforcement.

Strategic Advocacy for Your Financial Future

Taxing authorities employ professionals to protect the interests of the government; you deserve the same level of professional representation on your side. With decades of experience resolving complex tax issues, we understand the strategies required to achieve a permanent resolution.
