Federal tax resolution

• Back Taxes — First we establish what the IRS says you owe. Then we determine what actually comes next.
• Unfiled Returns — This happens. We identify the missing years, rebuild the record, and get the work moving.
• IRS Audits — An audit is a review of specific return positions, not a verdict delivered in an envelope.
• Tax Liens and Levies — The words are close. The legal stage and response are not.
• Installment Agreements — Before choosing a monthly number, confirm the balance, compliance, and collection path.
• Offer in Compromise — The IRS applies a collection formula. A compelling story does not replace the financial record.
