The IRS will file substitute returns for you, calculate penalties and interest, and begin collection actions including wage garnishment and bank levies.
The IRS has 10 years from assessment to collect each tax debt, so timing matters. You need six years of filed returns to qualify for payment plans. Bank levies leave only $1,950 in your account. If you owe under $50,000, you qualify for streamlined installment agreements without financial disclosure. We prepare all missing returns, negotiate penalty removal, and set up affordable payment plans that protect your assets.
Tax attorneys get the IRS to reduce or remove penalties through First Time Penalty Abatement, Reasonable Cause relief, and administrative waivers that eliminate millions in charges each year. The IRS approves penalty removal on amended returns filed within three years of the original due date when you correct errors or report previously missed income.
Our flat-fee penalty abatement service includes reviewing your transcripts, preparing Form 843 requests, and negotiating directly with IRS representatives. We identify which penalties qualify for removal based on your compliance history and document the specific circumstances that support your case.
A crypto tax accountant saves you money by choosing which coins you sell for the lowest tax bill. When you sell Bitcoin or Ethereum, they pick the specific coins that give you the smallest gain (or biggest loss) on paper. This specific identification method beats the standard FIFO approach that most software uses, often saving traders thousands each year. If you trade from home, they’ll also write off part of your rent or mortgage as a business expense.
Your accountant handles the paperwork when exchanges send you 1099 forms for stablecoin interest over $10. Made mistakes on old returns? They’ll file amendments to get you refunds from the IRS going back three years. They track your losses month by month so you pay less in quarterly taxes instead of overpaying all year and waiting for a refund.
