IRS Resolution FAQs
Common questions from taxpayers facing IRS issues in Pasadena and Los Angeles.
What is IRS resolution and do I need it?
IRS resolution refers to any process used to address outstanding tax debt, unfiled returns, audits, or IRS enforcement actions. You may need IRS resolution if you have received a notice from the IRS, owe back taxes you cannot pay in full, are being audited, have unfiled returns, or are facing a wage garnishment or bank levy. The sooner you act, the more resolution options are available to you.
Can you really settle my tax debt for less than I owe?
Yes — through the IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC) program. The IRS accepts OIC applications when it believes it cannot collect the full amount owed within the collection statute. Eligibility depends on your income, expenses, assets, and equity. We evaluate your situation before recommending an OIC, because the IRS rejects applications that do not meet their criteria. If you do not qualify, we will recommend the best alternative.
What happens if I ignore an IRS notice?
Ignoring IRS notices escalates the situation. The IRS will continue sending increasingly serious notices, eventually leading to a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (which damages your credit), wage garnishment, or bank account levy. Responding promptly — ideally with professional representation — gives you the most options and the best chance of a favorable resolution.
How long does IRS resolution take?
Timeline varies by resolution type. Responding to a simple IRS notice can take 4–8 weeks. An installment agreement typically takes 4–6 weeks to establish. An Offer in Compromise can take 6–12 months for the IRS to process. Audit representation timelines depend on the complexity of the audit. We keep you informed throughout the process and handle all IRS communication on your behalf.
Do you handle California FTB and EDD issues as well as IRS?
Yes. We represent clients before the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) and Employment Development Department (EDD) in addition to the IRS. California state tax issues — including FTB audits, back taxes, and EDD payroll tax disputes — are handled with the same expertise as federal IRS matters.
