Trusted Representation for the Audit Process

You have rights as a taxpayer, including the right to representation and the right to dispute the suggestions from the IRS. Tax Resolve has the experience to walk you through the audit process in Oakland County and anywhere in the country.

There are a variety of reasons why your tax returns may have been selected for auditing. Some possible reasons for an audit include that the IRS believes that you are trying to avoid paying complete taxes, you could have been randomly selected by a computer system, or because your business associate was audited. For whatever reason you face an audit, we can help you find your personalized resolution.

Experienced Advocacy to Settle Your Tax Debt

If you owe back federal or state taxes, it is important to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We can help put an end to wage garnishments, tax levies and seizure of assets.

If you are facing a large tax debt that you are currently unable to pay, we can assist you in obtaining an extension or setting up a payment plan so you are not forced to settle your debt in a lump sum. We can also assist with having your account placed in uncollectible status. The IRS may give you reprieve from paying taxes for a limited amount of time if you are experiencing a time of great financial hardship. During this time, you will still remain current in tax compliance.

We can also help you with tax debt resolution for less than you owe if you are facing serious financial hardship. There are even further options to consider, such as cash advances on credit cards and liquidating savings bonds. Our Oakland County Certified Public Accountants understand that each client is different, and we can help you select the best option to address your tax liabilities, no matter where you are in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a state and federal tax dispute?

Federal tax disputes generally involve the IRS, while state tax disputes involve a state taxing authority. The procedures, deadlines, and resolution options can vary depending on the agency involved. Tax Resolve can assist with both state and federal tax matters and help determine an appropriate strategy for your circumstances.

Can a tax attorney represent me before the IRS?

Yes. Depending on their credentials and the matter involved, tax attorneys can represent taxpayers before the IRS and communicate with the agency on their behalf. Representation can be particularly valuable when an audit, collection action, or tax dispute has become complicated or difficult to resolve independently.

What should I do if I receive an IRS or state tax notice?

Do not ignore a tax notice. Notices can involve audits, unpaid balances, proposed adjustments, collection actions, or requests for additional information, and many include deadlines for responding. A tax attorney can review the notice, explain what it means, and help determine how to respond.

Can a tax attorney help with tax penalties and interest?

Tax attorneys may be able to help taxpayers address certain penalties and, when appropriate, seek penalty relief from the taxing authority. Whether relief is available depends on the circumstances and the specific penalties involved. An attorney can review your account and identify potential options.

Can you help if I have unfiled tax returns?

Yes. Unfiled tax returns can create additional tax liabilities and collection problems. Tax Resolve can review your circumstances and help address outstanding filing obligations while working toward a resolution of your federal or state tax issues.

Can the IRS or state seize my assets for unpaid taxes?

Tax authorities may have collection powers that can include tax liens, levies, and, in certain circumstances, seizure of assets. If you are facing collection action, addressing the matter promptly may provide opportunities to pursue an alternative resolution and protect your financial interests.

What is an offer in compromise?

An offer in compromise is a potential tax resolution option that may allow an eligible taxpayer to settle certain tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility and acceptance depend on factors such as the taxpayer's financial circumstances and ability to pay. A tax attorney can evaluate whether this type of resolution may be appropriate.

Can you help businesses with state and federal tax problems?

Yes. Tax Resolve assists with both personal and business tax matters. Business owners may face issues involving unpaid taxes, audits, payroll tax obligations, tax liens, levies, and other disputes. Our attorneys can evaluate the circumstances and help pursue an appropriate resolution.

What happens if I cannot afford to pay my entire tax debt?

Being unable to pay your full tax balance does not necessarily mean you have no options. Depending on your financial circumstances, possible solutions may include an installment agreement, temporary uncollectible status, or another form of tax debt resolution. Tax Resolve can review your situation and discuss potential alternatives.

Why should I hire a tax attorney for a state or federal tax dispute?

Tax disputes can involve complicated rules, agency procedures, deadlines, and significant financial consequences. An experienced tax attorney can communicate with tax authorities, evaluate available resolution strategies, and advocate for your interests throughout the process. Tax Resolve brings more than 33 years of experience to state and federal tax matters for clients nationwide.
