Free Consultation
David Thompson, a long-time local business owner, had always been committed to running and growing his company. But as the business expanded, so did the challenges of staying on top of tax filings, deadlines, and paperwork. Over several years, a combination of missed returns, cash-flow issues, and unaddressed IRS notices caused his tax balance to snowball into a staggering $120,000. The growing debt was taking a toll on his business operations and peace of mind.
The IRS was sending increasingly urgent letters. And he wasn’t sure which part of the debt came from actual taxes versus avoidable penalties. More importantly, he feared that the mounting pressure would force him to cut back on employees or halt investments needed to keep the business running.
We began with a complimentary consultation, taking the time to review David’s financial documents, IRS notices, and the full history behind the tax buildup. Our team identified the core issues: unfiled returns, incorrect penalty assessments, and interest that had compounded far beyond the original tax owed.
Correct the IRS records by verifying income, expenses, and missing filings
Challenge unnecessary penalties and request relief where justified
Negotiate directly with the IRS to reduce the balance as much as possible
Design a payment plan aligned with David’s actual cash flow
The IRS approved a revised balance of approximately $72,000, lowering David’s debt by nearly 40%. This wasn’t just a financial adjustment, it was a turning point. The new payment plan meant he no longer had to choose between keeping his business afloat and satisfying the IRS.
