Whatever the IRS Has on You — We've Seen It. We've Fixed It.

Unfiled Tax Returns

Approximately 11 million Americans haven't filed. The IRS knows who you are — and they can file for you, using the least favorable numbers possible. We file your back returns, get you compliant, and negotiate what comes next.

Can't Pay What You Owe

An IRS Installment Agreement lets you pay what you owe over time with manageable monthly payments. You stop the clock on escalating enforcement while your balance is addressed responsibly.

Offer in Compromise

The IRS Offer in Compromise program allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their tax debt for significantly less than the full balance. Many people who think they don't qualify — do. We handle every step.

Wage or Bank Levy

A wage levy sends part of every paycheck to the IRS. A bank levy freezes and seizes your funds. These are the most disruptive IRS actions — and they can be released. If this is happening now, call us today.

Penalty Abatement

IRS penalties pile up fast — failure to file, failure to pay, accuracy penalties. The IRS has a formal process for reducing or eliminating penalties for qualifying taxpayers. We file the abatement request.

IRS Audit Defense

An audit notice is not a conviction — it's a question, and we answer it. We represent you before the IRS, respond to information requests, and protect your rights. You never have to speak to the IRS directly.

Business Tax Problems

Unpaid payroll taxes (941 deposits) trigger some of the most aggressive IRS collection actions, including personal liability assessments against business owners. This requires immediate, experienced handling.

Tax Lien Removal

A federal tax lien attaches to your property, damages your credit, and follows you until resolved. We work to resolve the underlying debt and pursue lien withdrawal or subordination where possible.

IRS Problems — Answered Plainly

How much does tax resolution cost?

Most IRS resolution cases range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on complexity, the type of resolution pursued, and the amount owed. We provide a specific quote after your free case review — no surprises.

Can I really settle my IRS debt for less than I owe?

Yes. The IRS Offer in Compromise program allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their federal tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility depends on your income, expenses, and asset equity. We assess qualification as part of your free case review.

What if I haven't filed taxes in several years?

Non-filing is more common than most people realize — the IRS estimates approximately 11 million Americans have unfiled returns. Filing late is always better than not filing. We handle back-year returns and negotiate the resulting balance.

Will the IRS negotiate with me?

The IRS has formal programs designed for taxpayers who cannot pay their full balance — installment agreements, offers in compromise, and currently-not-collectible status. The key is applying correctly and with a complete, accurate submission.

How do I stop a wage levy immediately?

A wage levy can be released by entering into an installment agreement, proving economic hardship, or demonstrating undue hardship. Release typically takes 24–72 hours once an agreement is in place. If you have an active levy, contact us today.

Do I need a tax attorney for IRS problems?

For complex cases involving large balances, criminal tax issues, or significant assets, working with a licensed tax attorney or enrolled agent (EA) is strongly recommended. Summit Tax Services works directly with licensed tax attorneys and enrolled agents (EAs) for cases that require representation.

How long does IRS resolution take?

Simple installment agreements can be established in 30–60 days. An Offer in Compromise typically takes 12–18 months to process. Levy releases can happen within days. Timeline depends on the type of resolution and IRS workload at time of filing.

The IRS Won't Wait. You Shouldn't Either.

Imagine this time next year — no more letters. No more dread every time the mail arrives. The balance settled, the IRS off your back, and your life back to normal. That's what our clients feel when a case closes. And almost every one says the same thing: "I wish I had called sooner." Your free case review takes 15 minutes. It could save you years of problems.
