Atkins & Associates is able to give taxpayers or business relief by providing a full range of tax relief services. Our tax relief services include:
Offer In Compromise- An offer in compromise allows individuals to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed to the IRS. Our clients have been able to reduce their tax liability thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars through the offer in compromise program. Sound too good to be true? There's actually a rational reason on why this great program works for the IRS and the majority of taxpayers struggling to pay a tax debt. The IRS is only interested in the most they can expect to collect in a reasonable amount of time. Hence, why they write off millions each year in tax debt. The offer in Compromise gets even better. Taxpayers still have options on how to pay their approved amount. Many taxpayers are able to reduce their debt to an amount they can pay in full. An Offer In Compromise is not for everybody, however, our team of professionals can determine whether or not a taxpayer would qualify.
Penalty Abatement- A way the IRS encourages taxpayers to be compliant is by accessing IRS penalties and interest. If you fail to file a tax return, fail to pay on time or deposit taxes by the due date the penalty for non-compliance can be quite extensive. Penalties alone can amount up to 25% with interest on top of penalties. Statistics show that after 4 years, you can expect your tax liability to double from its original amount. However, if you exercised ordinary business care and prudence in determining your tax obligations but failed to comply with those obligations you may qualify for IRS penalty abatement. Our team of professionals are able to assist taxpayers with a penalty abatement.
Wage Garnishment Removal- If you are in the process of tax debt relief, you might need the IRS to stop wage garnishments. This is usually a step the IRS will take after they have sent letters over a course of several months with no response from the taxpayer. The IRS only garnishes wages when they believe they have no other option. A garnishment by the IRS can amount to 70% or more of your income, understandably depleting your ability to pay your household bills and obligations. Our team works fast to have a wage garnishment removed.
Bank Levy Removal- The IRS can freeze bank accounts and seize any money in these accounts when taxes remain unpaid with no resolution set in place. This is usually the result of poor communication between the IRS and the taxpayer. A bank levy is one of the most aggressive and crippling methods the IRS uses to satisfy tax debts. Our team is able to swiftly assist with getting a bank levy removed.
Filing Back Taxes- We are all procrastinators by nature. So it comes to no surprise filling taxes would fall into the category of dreaded things. Many taxpayers fear the results or filing taxes are not their thing. It's alright, but it is important to get compliant with all tax return filings. Our team of professionals are able to help taxpayers or business get compliant with all back tax filings.
Tax Amendments- Many taxpayers or business find they need to have an amendment completed. Most of the time this is accomplished because all or some of the tax deductions and tax credits were not previously claimed or income was not reported accurately. Our team of professionals are able to assist in helping taxpayers get credit for missed tax deductions and credits, or claiming the correct amount of income by completing an amendment.
Tax Lien Removal- Taxpayers or business may have a federal tax lien placed on them for tax debt owed. Our team is able to assist diligently in having a federal tax lien removed from a taxpayer or business.
IRS Installment Agreement- Our team of professionals can assist in setting up an installment agreement for a taxpayer or business with the IRS. We will negotiate to get the taxpayer an affordable monthly payment amount unique to their financial situation.
Partial Pay Installment Agreement (PPIA)- With a partial pay installment agreement a taxpayer makes monthly payments to the IRS like they would with an installment agreement. The difference between an installment agreement and a PPIA is the taxpayer does not pay back the full amount owed. After a taxpayer makes regular payments for a certain period of time, the rest of the debt goes away. This can be a good option for taxpayers who do not qualify for an Offer in Compromise.
Innocent Spouse Relief- Taxpayers can request innocent spouse relief from paying tax, penalties, and interest if their spouse or previous spouse did not correctly report items or omitted items on the tax return.
Audit Reconsideration- Taxpayers who were previously audited by the IRS can have their case reevaluated through a process called audit reconsideration. This option is for taxpayers who had additional tax assessed or a tax credit reversed.
Tax Preparation- Need help with filing your taxes? Our team of professionals are able to swiftly and diligently file individual or business tax returns.
Tax Consulting- Taxpayers or business find they simply need guidance and direction when it comes to taxes. Many taxpayers do not fully understand their tax situation or how financial decisions may impact their taxes. Our team of professionals are able to provide the right guidance and knowledge when it comes to understanding each taxpayers unique situation and financial decisions.
