Tax Resolution Services in Atlanta

Tax resolution services help taxpayers address unpaid federal taxes, IRS collection activity, filing gaps, audits, penalties, and related compliance issues. The work generally begins with reviewing IRS notices, tax transcripts, financial information, and unfiled returns. A qualified representative then identifies viable options, prepares documentation, communicates with the IRS, and helps carry the selected strategy through to a documented outcome.

Yes. An IRS Enrolled Agent is federally licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and has unlimited practice rights before the IRS. That authority allows an EA to represent individual and business taxpayers on federal tax matters, including audits, collections, appeals, installment agreements, penalty requests, and offers in compromise. Assured Financial Services' founder holds this credential and leads each engagement directly.

In some circumstances, a wage garnishment or bank levy may be released, modified, or prevented by promptly addressing the underlying tax issue with the IRS. The appropriate approach depends on the collection stage, the amount owed, current filing status, and documented financial circumstances. Representation can help establish communication, submit requested information, and pursue an available resolution option before further enforcement occurs.

An Offer in Compromise is an IRS program that may allow qualifying taxpayers to settle federal tax debt for less than the full balance owed. Eligibility is based on the IRS review of income, expenses, assets, equity, and future ability to pay—not simply on the size of the debt. The process requires complete documentation, current filing compliance, and careful management after submission.

An IRS installment agreement allows a taxpayer to pay qualifying federal tax debt over time through scheduled payments. The IRS considers the amount owed, filing compliance, financial information, and the proposed payment amount when evaluating the arrangement. Some agreements can be streamlined, while more complex cases require detailed financial disclosure. Staying current on future tax filings and payments is essential to maintain the agreement.

The IRS may grant penalty relief in specific situations, including first-time penalty abatement or reasonable-cause circumstances supported by documentation. Interest generally continues to accrue by law and is usually reduced only when the related penalty or tax is adjusted. A penalty abatement request should identify the applicable relief standard, demonstrate eligibility, and provide a clear factual explanation with supporting records when needed.

Unfiled returns should be addressed as soon as possible because filing compliance is often required before the IRS will consider many collection alternatives. The first step is to identify all missing years and gather income, expense, and withholding records. Returns should be prepared accurately and coordinated with the overall resolution strategy, since filing can change the balance due and available options.

Timing depends on the type of IRS matter, the number of tax years involved, filing status, collection urgency, documentation quality, and IRS processing times. A levy or garnishment issue may require immediate action, while an Offer in Compromise, audit appeal, or complex payroll tax case can take substantially longer. Promptly providing complete financial records helps avoid preventable delays during the process.
