Q:
|
Describe a project or service that your company recently completed (include challenges, costs, and innovative solutions).
|
|
A:
|
We recently represented a small business owner facing over $150,000 in IRS back taxes, penalties, and interest. The challenge was years of unfiled returns and aggressive collection actions, including a bank levy.
We quickly secured a hold on collections, reconstructed missing records, filed multiple years of returns, and successfully negotiated an Offer in Compromise—settling the total liability for under $20,000. Our strategic planning and direct coordination with the IRS resolved the case efficiently and saved the client from financial ruin.
