You need an experienced professional to review your case and help you take the steps necessary to protect your rights. 

We will also handle situations where tax authorities place a lien on real or personal property in an attempt to levy or seize the asset.  

In appropriate situations, we will attempt to negotiate the payment of the tax debt over a period of time. We may be able to secure a “part-pay” agreement, whereby you make monthly installment payments through the period of the statute of limitations for collections, but end up paying some amount less than the full amount.

We will act as your advocate to persuade the government to settle the tax debt for less than the full amount owed, commonly referred to as an offer in compromise. We may argue that the amount of the tax debt is not correct, that you lack the resources to pay the amount in full, or that there are other mitigating circumstances. 

While there are similarities between the IRS and State tax collections, they often operate quite differently than the IRS. State taxing authorities also differ from the IRS as they are usually faster to collect on back taxes, and can be more aggressive in their collection efforts, issuing bank and wage levies, filing tax liens, revoking state licensing, and seizing assets. This is because states are solely dependent on tax revenue to operate their annual budget.
