IRS Payroll Tax Resolution

Payroll Tax Resolution Services

We represent small business owners before the IRS — handling every aspect of payroll tax resolution so you can focus on running your business.

A note on tax resolution: Tax resolution is a legal framework — not a magic bullet. Results depend on your specific financial situation, the accuracy of your filings, and the resolution options available under current IRS guidelines. We give you an honest assessment of what's achievable, not promises we can't keep.

IRS Payroll Tax Representation

Direct representation before the IRS for unpaid payroll taxes, trust fund penalties, and back tax liabilities.

Payroll tax debt is among the most aggressively collected by the IRS. Early representation significantly expands your options.

What's included

  • Power of Attorney filing — we communicate with the IRS so you don't have to
  • Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) defense and negotiation
  • Offers in Compromise for qualifying businesses
  • Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status requests
  • Structured installment agreements tailored to your cash flow

Penalty & Interest Abatement

Many payroll tax penalties can be reduced or eliminated entirely when the right circumstances are documented and presented.

Penalties can represent a significant portion of your total balance. Abatement is often overlooked but can meaningfully reduce what you owe.

What's included

  • First-time penalty abatement requests with the IRS
  • Reasonable cause abatement for qualifying situations
  • Interest abatement where applicable
  • Review of all assessed penalties for accuracy
  • Documentation and filing of abatement requests on your behalf

Levy & Garnishment Relief

IRS collection actions can be stopped. We act quickly to protect your business assets and restore normal operations.

Collection actions can disrupt payroll and operations. Time matters — contact us as soon as you receive a notice.

What's included

  • IRS bank levy release requests
  • Federal tax lien subordination and discharge
  • Wage garnishment release for business owners
  • Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing representation
  • Immediate response to protect business cash flow

Installment Agreements

When full payment isn't possible, we negotiate structured IRS payment plans that fit your budget and bring your account into compliance.

A well-structured installment agreement stops collection actions and gives your business a clear path forward.

What's included

  • IRS installment agreement negotiation and setup
  • Partial Pay Installment Agreements (PPIA) for qualifying cases
  • Review of financial disclosures to present your case accurately
  • Ongoing compliance monitoring during the repayment period
  • Modification requests if your financial situation changes

IRS & DRS Notice Response

Received a notice from the IRS or Connecticut DRS? We review, interpret, and respond on your behalf before deadlines pass.

Many notices have strict response deadlines. Missing them can eliminate your appeal rights and increase your liability.

What's included

  • Review and explanation of IRS CP notices and letters
  • CT DRS notice interpretation and response
  • Audit representation for payroll tax matters
  • Response to proposed assessments and adjustments
  • Deadline tracking and timely filing of responses
