Straight answers about how this works — and about the tax problems we see every day.
Yes. Your first consultation is completely free and carries no obligation. We listen to your situation, explain the options that apply, and you decide whether you want help going further.
We connect you with experienced tax professionals for tax preparation, back taxes and unfiled returns, IRS notices and letters, tax debt relief (payment plans, Offers in Compromise, penalty abatement), ITIN applications, and business taxes.
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we handle. IRS policy generally requires the last six years of returns to get back in compliance, and refunds are only claimable for three years, so acting sooner protects money you may be owed.
Don't panic and don't ignore it. Find the notice code in the corner (CP2000, CP14, LT11, etc.) and look it up in our free IRS Notice Decoder — it explains what each notice means, your deadline, and how to respond. Most notices are fixable when handled on time.
You have options. The IRS offers short-term payment plans, monthly installment agreements, penalty abatement, and — for genuine hardship — the Offer in Compromise program, which can settle a debt for less than the full amount when you qualify. The right path depends on your finances, which is exactly what a free consultation sorts out.
Often, yes. First-Time Abatement can erase penalties for taxpayers with a clean three-year history, and reasonable-cause relief applies to situations like serious illness or disaster. Interest on the tax itself generally cannot be removed, but penalty relief can still shrink a balance meaningfully.
