Your IRS Tax
Problems End Here.

An IRS levy can take the form of a wage garnishment through your employer, a levy on your personal or business bank account, business receivables, Social Security or retirement benefits.

For most people, an IRS Levy creates an overwhelming feeling of despair.

We understand that IRS Levies interfere with the ability to meet other urgent obligations such as rent, car payments, food and utilities.

Release of an existing IRS levy is our first priority.  In many cases we can stop levies within 24 hours of receiving your authorization to represent you before the IRS.

If you have a levy or have received a Notice of Levy, it is important to act fast. There are time limits and additional requirements that the IRS can impose depending on your situation.

The Offer in Compromise (OIC) can be the most effective way to dispose of a burdensome IRS debt, because it settles the debt for an amount less than the balance owed.

The IRS offers this program to taxpayers who can show that they do not have the resources to repay the debt.  OICs can result in settlements for as little as 1% of the original debt.

The OIC program is extremely popular for obvious reasons, yet the overall odds of the IRS approving an OIC are approximately 2 out of 10.

Working with Total Tax, Inc can change the odds in your favor. On average, our Case Managers have won 9 offers out of 10. That’s over 4 times more than the average.

Our knowledge of the Offer in Compromise program and our ability to successfully assess whether you will qualify are the reasons for our success.  In fact, as part of your free consultation, we will tell you whether you are a candidate for an OIC.

Filing back taxes is one of the most common steps toward resolving an IRS tax issue.

It is required to establish compliance, a key element in reaching any agreement with the IRS. In many cases it can reduce the balance that the IRS claims you owe.

However, if not done correctly, filing or amending returns can create more problems and an even bigger tax bill.  Unfortunately, this is a growing problem.  Some tax relief companies take shortcuts to save time and unlicensed and unqualified management fail to identify the mistakes.

In contrast, the Total Tax, Inc team collectively has nearly 60 years of experience in Tax Accounting.  We maintain a dedicated tax preparation department staffed by skilled and experienced CPAs and EAs that understand tax law.

Working with a dedicated, licensed and experienced tax preparation experts results in lasting benefits for our clients. This is one area of resolving your tax issue that can’t be compromised since errors and omissions can lead to audits, default of IRS agreements and ongoing IRS tax problems.

If you qualify for Currently Not Collectible status, the IRS will stop all collection actions against you, but interest will continue to accrue on the debt.  This is an alternative for clients that don’t qualify for an Offer in Compromise and can’t afford an Installment Agreement.

Your TTI Case Manager will use your financial information to demonstrate that you are unable to make any kind of payment to the IRS.  The IRS may review your financial situation annually to determine if you still qualify.

CNC can be an effective strategy when a client has an IRS balance that is close to the 10 year statute of limitations and can be put in place to avoid disruptive collection actions until the debt expires.

If your financial situation rules out one of the more aggressive IRS tax relief programs, an Installment Agreement can be a beneficial option.

The IRS will allow you to repay the balance over time if you meet certain requirements. Your Total Tax, Inc team can clear any compliance requirements such as unfiled tax returns and negotiate a payment plan you can afford.

An Installment Agreement will resolve your tax debt and eliminate other immediate or long-term tax issues such as:

• higher interest and penalties
• unpredictable wage and bank levies

Your Total Tax, Inc Case Manager will work to get you the most beneficial tax relief solution for your situation, and will work to minimize the total amount required as well as protect you from further IRS collection actions.
