When our clients retain our tax help services, the first thing they often want to know is how their life will change and when they can expect these changes to happen. Upon retaining our firm to resolve your tax debt, some of the relief will be instant and some will be over time. Remember that IRS problems don’t start overnight and consequently they can take some time to resolve.

To help our clients understand what they can expect, we’ve put together a Road Map to Tax Resolution that outlines the steps in the tax relief process. It all starts with a free consultation, where an experienced Tax Consultant evaluates your situation and discusses the available options for resolving your tax problems.

If you decide to retain us as your tax representative, you will be required to sign a Retainer Agreement letter and make financial arrangements in order to pay for our tax help services. We will also file a Power of Attorney (POA) with the IRS that provides you with immediate relief because from this point on the IRS will be required to contact us instead of you.

Next you will be assigned a case manager who will work with you to develop a strategy for resolving your tax problems and advise you on what steps to take for the most effective resolution. All of our case managers are extremely qualified and are a Tax Attorney, Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or an Enrolled Agent (EA).  Our case managers are supported by a staff of experienced technical specialists, who from time to time, may have contact with you as well regarding your case.

Generally before any tax resolution can be negotiated, you must become a compliant taxpayer. Your case manager is experienced in what must be done to achieve this and will advise you accordingly. For the most part you must file delinquent tax returns and demonstrate that you are keeping up with your current tax payments. For those of you that have incomplete records, TRS has developed methods for completing the preparation of tax returns in order to get them filed.

Next, we will propose a plan of resolution to the IRS that you can live with and see through to acceptance. We have a high tax relief success rate and pride ourselves in obtaining the best settlement for you under the law. However, it is rare that a proposal is accepted right away. Through diligence, persistence and follow-up our knowledgeable staff will monitor, provide additional information to the IRS as needed, and negotiate your proposed resolution until acceptance is gained.

Finally, we will review the final resolution of your case by the IRS to make sure it is as agreed upon. If not, we will insist that it be changed to reflect what was agreed to. If the IRS is unwilling to do this, we will advise you as to what your options are for the next step. Finally you will be advised on what you must do in order to succeed with your resolution and avoid future tax problems.
