IRS Letter Response
Receiving an unexpected letter from the IRS can cause confusion, anxiety, and even panic. Whether it’s a CP504 Final Notice, a CP90 Intent to Levy, a CP14 Balance Due, or any other notice, it’s crucial to act quickly and respond accurately. At Tax Advocate Solutions, we help you take control of the situation by thoroughly reviewing your IRS correspondence, explaining what the letter means in straightforward terms, and helping you understand your rights and next steps. Our goal is to relieve your stress, eliminate confusion, and provide a clear action plan to resolve the issue. With our extensive experience, we can often intervene before the situation escalates, preventing potential levies, liens, or further penalties.
Wage Garnishment Relief
If you’re struggling to pay off your IRS debt all at once, a properly negotiated payment plan can be a practical and stress-relieving solution. We work directly with the IRS to structure a manageable monthly payment plan tailored to your financial situation. Our experts assess your income, expenses, and overall ability to pay, ensuring that your installment agreement is both affordable and sustainable. We also take the necessary steps to ensure that collections are halted while your plan is under review. Whether you owe a few thousand dollars or tens of thousands, we’ll advocate on your behalf to secure the most favorable terms, and we’ll continue to support you throughout the duration of the plan to help you stay compliant and avoid future penalties.
Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise is one of the most powerful tools for individuals who owe more to the IRS than they can realistically pay. It allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their debt for a fraction of what they owe, but it requires careful planning, documentation, and a compelling case. At Tax Advocate Solutions, we analyze your complete financial picture—including income, expenses, assets, and future earning potential—to determine if you qualify and what your lowest acceptable offer could be. Then we prepare and submit a comprehensive OIC package on your behalf, ensuring accuracy and compliance with IRS guidelines. We stay in close contact with the IRS throughout the process to advocate for acceptance and keep you informed every step of the way. For those in financial hardship, this program can be life-changing.
Payment Plans
IRS penalties can be severe and often feel unfair, especially when they result from circumstances outside your control. Whether you’ve been hit with late filing penalties, late payment penalties, or interest on unpaid taxes, these extra costs can quickly add up and make your tax problem worse. Our team at Tax Advocate Solutions evaluates your eligibility for various forms of penalty relief, including First-Time Abatement and Reasonable Cause arguments. We craft a persuasive narrative backed by evidence, explaining the valid reasons behind your delay or non-compliance—whether it was due to a serious illness, natural disaster, or other hardships. By successfully petitioning for penalty abatement, we can significantly reduce your total tax burden and put you in a better position to resolve your case.
Penalty Abatement
When the IRS begins garnishing your wages or levying your bank account, it can feel like your financial stability is slipping away. These aggressive collection actions are not only stressful—they can also disrupt your ability to cover everyday expenses like rent, groceries, and utilities. At Tax Advocate Solutions, we act quickly and decisively to stop garnishments and levies in their tracks. We communicate directly with the IRS to negotiate a release and propose an alternative resolution, such as a payment plan or hardship status. Our priority is to restore your income and protect your assets as fast as possible, while also addressing the underlying tax debt so you don’t face similar enforcement actions again. With our expert guidance, you can take back control of your finances and find lasting relief.

We focus on minimizing your tax liability while ensuring full IRS compliance to prevent audits and penalties.
