How can a tax debt lawyer help you?

When you’re facing IRS collections activity, tax liens, levies, or wage garnishment, a tax debt attorney can help resolve your debt.

There are several options available to pause collections, manage your payments, or even reduce how much you owe.

Drowning in tax debt? You may find relief via an IRS Offer in Compromise, or OIC—an option that allows taxpayers to reduce outstanding IRS tax debts. We’ve guided countless clients through this program and negotiated their tax bills down to pennies on the dollar.

But be warned: The rules are inflexible and messing up can be costly. If you’re considering an Offer in Compromise, you need an experienced IRS debt lawyer who will fight for your rights, deliver the lowest tax bill possible, and be honest about what you can expect.

Did you know you can settle tax debt with an IRS installment agreement? This can help you pay off your tax debt within a predefined time limit, and finally rest easy knowing your tax woes have come to an end. There are 2 types of installment agreements available:

  • Streamlined Installment Agreement: A Streamlined Installment Agreement is an option for tax debt below $50,000. Unlike other payment plans, if you qualify for a Streamlined Installment Agreement, you do not have to provide the IRS detailed financial information.
  • Complex Installment Agreement: A Complex Installment Agreement is a payment plan for taxpayers who owe over $50,000. With a Complex Installment Agreement, you must provide your financial information to determine a minimum monthly payment. Our experienced tax debt attorneys can negotiate your monthly payment down to as little as possible.

Are you facing tax debt due to your spouse’s (or former spouse’s) actions? If you had no knowledge of their tax issues, you may qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief. This will reverse IRS collections of back taxes, tax penalties, and interest.

We’ve successfully helped many clients file for Innocent Spouse Relief. If the IRS is breathing down your neck, call our experienced Chicago tax debt attorneys today at (847) 580-1279 for a free and confidential consultation.

In addition to tax debt, you may incur tax penalties—most commonly for non-filing and non-payment. However, in some cases, you may be eligible for tax penalty abatement.

Interest and penalties can add up quickly, making it even more difficult to pay off your tax debt. Penalty abatement can help reduce or eliminate these penalties, making it easier to pay off your tax debt over time.

If you're unable to pay your tax debt due to financial hardship, you may qualify for Currently Non Collectible status, which temporarily suspends collection efforts. This can give you time to get back on your feet and avoid more serious consequences.

If you disagree with the results of a tax audit, we can help you appeal the results. Our team is highly experienced with IRS audits and Illinois Department of Revenue audits. We can appeal your case all the way up to the United States Tax Court or Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal.
