If you're feeling overwhelmed by IRS notices, penalties, or wage garnishments, you're not alone. Thousands of individuals and small business owners fall behind on taxes every year—and the IRS isn’t always upfront about your options.
Here’s what the IRS won’t tell you… but what you need to know to protect your finances, your paycheck, and your peace of mind.
1. The IRS Will Start Collecting—Even If You Can’t Pay
The IRS has powerful tools at its disposal:
Wage garnishments
Bank levies
Tax liens on your home or business
What most people don’t realize is… you have legal rights to stop or prevent these actions. The IRS doesn't always offer these solutions upfront — but as a tax attorney, I will.
2. You May Qualify for Tax Relief—Even If You Owe Thousands
Programs like:
Offer in Compromise (OIC) – Settle your debt for less than you owe
Installment Agreements – Affordable payment plans
Currently Not Collectible (CNC) – Pause IRS collections if you can’t pay
These programs aren’t one-size-fits-all. The key is choosing the right one based on your income, assets, and tax history.
3. The IRS Won’t Give You Legal Advice—But I Will
IRS agents are not there to protect you — their job is to collect as much as possible.
As a tax attorney, my role is to:
Shield you from aggressive collection tactics
Protect your rights
Negotiate the best resolution possible under the law
4. Tax Debt Is a Legal Matter—Not Just a Numbers Game
Unlike tax prep companies, I’m a licensed attorney. That means I can:
Legally represent you before the IRS and State Tax Boards
Handle complex cases, audits, and court proceedings
Offer confidentiality and strategy, not just form-filling
5. It’s Never Too Late to Get Help — But Timing Is Everything
The longer you wait, the more penalties and interest build up. Early legal intervention can stop wage garnishments, protect your assets, and put you back in control.
