Tax problem resolution
Clear guidance for tax debt relief
An IRS letter can make everything feel urgent and confusing. Advanced Tax Services is a client-first practice built to slow the process down, explain what the notice actually means, and pursue the tax relief option that fits your facts—not a one-size-fits-all pitch.
That may mean an installment agreement, penalty abatement, currently not collectible status, or an offer in compromise. It may also mean filing missing returns before any relief request can succeed. The first step is a straightforward review of where you stand.
How we help
Tax relief, preparation, and planning
One practice for the work that often belongs together: resolving IRS problems, getting returns filed, and planning so the same issue is less likely to return.
Tax preparation
Accurate individual and business returns, including prior-year and unfiled returns that often have to be completed before tax relief can move forward.
See preparationTax planning & strategy
Practical planning for people and companies who want fewer surprises next year—entity, timing, and compliance decisions with a clear explanation of tradeoffs.

Common IRS tax relief options
Relief is never guaranteed. The right path depends on income, assets, filing history, and what the IRS is already doing. These are the tools most often used to resolve tax debt.
Offer in compromise
A potential settlement of tax debt for less than the full balance when collecting the entire amount is unlikely. Preparation and documentation matter as much as the request itself.
Installment agreements
Structured monthly payments that can stop more aggressive collection while you pay what the IRS determines you can currently afford.
Penalty abatement
Requests to remove or reduce penalties when reasonable cause, first-time abatement, or other IRS standards apply to your situation.
Currently not collectible
A temporary collection hold when paying the IRS would create significant financial hardship. It does not erase the tax, but it can create breathing room.
A measured process
What working together looks like
Confidential review
Share the notices, balances, and filing history you have. The goal is a plain-language picture of the problem before any filing or negotiation begins.
A recommended path
You receive a clear recommendation: what to file, which tax relief option is realistic, and what the IRS is likely to expect next.
Representation
Once engaged, you have an Enrolled Agent in your corner—preparing the work, communicating with the IRS, and keeping you informed.
