Tax Problems We Help Resolve in Greater Seattle
We provide tax relief services in Greater Seattle, navigating the complex administrative and statutory requirements of the IRS and state taxing authorities.
IRS Protection
We move quickly to intervene in the collection cycle, working to prevent or release Form 668-W (Wage Garnishments) and bank levies. Our goal is to protect your primary residence, business assets, and financial stability from enforced administrative seizures.
Bankruptcy Options
We perform a technical assessment of your tax debt using the 3-year, 2-year, and 240-day rules to determine if your liabilities qualify for discharge in bankruptcy. We help you distinguish between priority and non-priority debt to create an effective fresh start strategy.
Innocent Spouse Relief
We help Greater Seattle taxpayers pursue relief under Revenue Procedure 2013-34, determining if they qualify for Innocent Spouse, Separation of Liability, or Equitable Relief. This process can legally separate you from tax liabilities caused solely by a current or former spouse.
Offers in Compromise
We evaluate your Reasonable Collection Potential (RCP) to determine if you meet the strict IRS criteria for a settlement. If you’re eligible, we negotiate an Offer in Compromise (OIC) based on Doubt as to Collectibility or Effective Tax Administration to settle your debt for less than your full balance.
Payroll Tax Protection
We protect Greater Seattle business owners by addressing IRC 6672 payroll tax issues. We advocate against personal liability by challenging IRS determinations of responsibility and willfulness regarding unpaid trust fund taxes.
Unfiled Return Completion
If the IRS has filed a Substitute for Return (SFR) on your behalf, your tax bill is likely inflated due to missing deductions and credits. We replace these aggressive assessments with accurate original returns to minimize your true liability and restore compliance.
Your IRS File
We perform a comprehensive IRS Transcript Analysis to identify your Collection Statute Expiration Dates (CSED). Understanding exactly when the 10-year statute of limitations expires allows us to time your resolution strategy for maximum effectiveness.
