WE SPEAK IRS.
We live, breathe and eat taxes. We're obsessed with resolving your tax issues. Our team of tax attorneys and enrolled agents excel in resolving tax liabilities and addressing associated penalties. We offer a comprehensive range of tax resolution programs tailored to your unique situation, providing the expertise, guidance, and representation you need to successfully manage IRS challenges.
OFFER-IN-COMPROMISE
The IRS will agree to significantly reduce your tax debt, if you qualify for this program. We'll take a deep dive into your current financial situation, the amount of tax debt the IRS claims you have, and the age of the tax debt. If you qualify, we'll negotiate a successful offer-in-compromise directly with the IRS.
DISPUTING YOUR
TAX LIABILITY
Sometimes the IRS gets it wrong – audits don’t always go the way you anticipated and pertinent tax documents can get overlooked. Or, maybe your tax return needs to be corrected. Whatever the case, if you don’t believe you owe the tax, our professionals have the tools to challenge the tax liability the IRS claims that you owe.
PAYMENT PLANS
If you can’t pay your tax bill in full today, the IRS is willing to accept the balance – either partially or in full – over a fixed period of time. Our experienced tax professionals will analyze your current financial situation and work diligently to negotiate and structure a manageable payment plan tailored to your unique situation. These negotiations go far beyond setting up a generic payment plan on your behalf. Instead, our tax professionals will also assess the possibility of abating some of your penalties, allowing for a temporary pausing in payments, and structuring the plan to be a slow “ramp up” of payments to temporarily help you get your finances in order.
CURRENTLY NOT COLLECTIBLE
We understand that if what you make only covers your essential living expenses and if you have nothing to sell in order to pay your tax bill, we can assist you in changing your status with the IRS to “currently not collectible.” While this status doesn’t resolve your debt, it offers you a temporary reprieve, allowing you to focus on your financial stability while keeping an eye on your obligations. Our team will help you navigate this path with confidence.
PENALTY ABATEMENT
Has the IRS sent you letters letting you know they’re hitting you with penalties? Unfortunately, while these penalties get worse with age, experienced tax professionals can advocate for you and seek for the penalties to be removed based on existing tax laws.
DELINQUENT TAX
RETURN FILINGS
If you’ve fallen behind on your tax return filings, we can help. Ironically, the best thing you could do is address the tax return filings directly rather than ignoring the problem. With Milestone’s assistance, we can review your tax file with the IRS and assess which returns the IRS is expecting you to file. From there, we’ll get you caught up – no matter how late your tax returns are.
BANK LEVY RELEASE
The IRS may go after the funds in your bank account if you owe back taxes. When this happens, time is of the essence. Don’t wait – call the professionals at Milestone and we’ll do everything we can to try to stop the bank levy in its tracks by proposing a resolution to the IRS.
WAGE GARNISHMENT REMOVAL
Whether you earn a paycheck or you’re self-employed, the IRS can go after the money you earn. These garnishments are devastating if you rely on every last bit of your income to make ends meet. Wage garnishments are a matter of last resort for the IRS but when they occur, it’s often because the IRS is serious about getting you to address your tax debt. It’s not too late to reach out to us to help get the garnishment removed and propose a resolution to ease your financial burdens once and for all.
IRS TRANSCRIPT ANALYSIS
Sometimes you just need to know exactly what the IRS says you owe. Maybe you paid them years ago but can’t remember how much. Or your ex swore the tax was paid, but you’re not so sure. We can quickly pull your IRS tax records and create a clear tax analysis report showing your balance, how long the IRS has to collect, potential opportunities for penalty relief, and even signs they may be preparing to collect.
RESOLVING TAXES AFTER BANKRUPTCY
Handling IRS taxes in bankruptcy is complex and best left to attorneys. Even the best attorneys cannot change the fact that some taxes are not dischargeable, such as payroll taxes or taxes from returns filed late or filed by the IRS. Non-dischargeable taxes remain even after other debts are cleared. If the IRS contacts you about unpaid taxes after a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it is important to act quickly. Whether it needs to be resolved via a tax settlement or a favorable payment plan, our tax professionals know how to resolve these situations before they escalate.
