Common Questions

Answers Before You Pick Up the Phone.

How fast can you stop a wage garnishment or bank levy?

Often within 14 days of engagement. Once Form 2848 (Power of Attorney) is filed, we can negotiate a levy release directly with the assigned revenue officer - and we prioritize active garnishments the same day you call us.

What does this cost?

We quote a flat fee up front after the free consultation - no hourly surprises. Simple cases (penalty abatement, single-year unfiled return) typically run $1,500–$6,000. Complex cases (multi-year, offers in compromise, foreign disclosures) are quoted individually.

Can you help with Form 5472 and other foreign reporting?

Yes. We handle Form 5471, 5472 (foreign-owned U.S. entities), FBAR / FinCEN 114, Form 8938, and Form 3520 - including delinquent filings under the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures and the Delinquent International Information Return Submission Procedures.

Should I respond to the IRS letter myself first?

No. Every letter has a reply deadline, a form number, and a procedural posture - saying the wrong thing can waive appeal rights or trigger an assessment. Let us read it first. The consultation is free and usually reveals options you didn't know you had.

What if I haven't filed in years?

You're not alone, and it's fixable. The IRS generally requires the last six years of returns to consider you compliant. We reconstruct income records from IRS wage and income transcripts, file the returns, and then negotiate a payment plan or offer on the resulting balance.

Will the IRS know you're representing me?

Yes - that's the point. Once we file the Power of Attorney, the IRS is required by law to contact us rather than you. Collection calls stop. Letters route to our office. You get your life back while we work the case.
