The IRS acts on unfiled tax returns as soon as one year passes, with penalties and interest starting immediately and compounding every month. What begins as $5,000 can grow into $50,000 over several years. Accounts over $100,000 often get a Revenue Officer assigned, and taxpayers may qualify for “currently not collectible” status if income and assets are limited.
Our team reviews your file to determine the oldest actionable year before the statute of limitations expires and explains your collection options and deadlines. We prepare and file delinquent returns, request penalty relief, and build strategies to reduce or stop IRS collection. This gives you control and a clear plan forward.
Yes, a tax attorney can often get IRS penalties reduced or completely removed. The key is that penalties can be negotiated, while the interest on your tax debt is rarely forgiven. For those facing financial hardship, we can request a Currently Not Collectible status, which stops new penalties from being added while you are in that status.
In a confidential consultation, we can determine your options for penalty relief. Our team knows how to build a strong case for penalty abatement, which can lower the total amount you owe the IRS and protect your privacy throughout the process.
Yes, a tax professional can help you amend your returns to report crypto correctly. We can use a specific cost basis method to calculate your gains, which often saves you money. It is important because activities like DeFi yield farming create taxable events every time you harvest rewards.
We will help you document the fair market value of airdrops and see if you can claim home office deductions. Understanding the six-year audit statute of limitations for underreporting is also a key next step. Our team can guide you through this process to fix past returns.
