What We File:
Individual Returns
We prepare federal and various state returns.
Business Returns
C-Corps, S-Corps, Partnerships, LLCs, and Sole Proprietors. We understand business tax structures and file accordingly.

Amended Returns
Correcting prior-year errors for federal and various state tax returns. Often results in refunds.
Why Accuracy Matters
Inaccurate returns create a cascade of problems: audit notices, penalties, interest, and compliance issues that multiply year after year. We invest time in understanding your complete financial picture so we get it right the first time.
Audit Prevention
Our returns are prepared defensibly. We document deductions, reconcile income to third-party reports (W-2s, 1099s), and explain unusual items. This reduces your audit risk significantly.
Compliance & Peace of Mind
You can confidently file knowing the IRS won't later find errors. If an issue does arise, we handle the response.

Your Resolution Options
Installment Agreement
The most common option. We negotiate a monthly payment plan (typically 5-7 years). You remain current and compliant, avoiding liens and levies.
Offer in Compromise
Settle your debt for pennies on the dollar. If your financial situation is dire, you may qualify. Requires careful documentation and IRS approval.
Penalty Abatement
The IRS charges 20-25% in penalties. We petition for relief if you have reasonable cause: medical hardship, system failure, or previous good compliance.
Currently Not Collectible
In extreme cases, we request CNC status. The IRS temporarily stops collection, pauses interest, and reassesses later. Buys time during hardship.
