Structured Resolution When IRS or State Issues Escalate
I help you regain control when tax problems create pressure, confusion, or financial risk. With more than 33 years of hands on interaction with IRS and States, I step in early, stabilize the situation, and outline a clear path toward a resolution you can rely on.
I take every case with the intention of bringing stability, clarity, and direction to a difficult tax situation. When you choose to work with me, you receive solid guidance, transparent communication, and a resolution plan built around your financial reality.
I have spent more than three decades representing taxpayers facing IRS and State issues ranging from past due tax returns to high-balance debts to aggressive collection actions. My work centers on practical guidance, steady communication, and a structured approach that protects you from unnecessary escalation.
I review your notices, examine prior filings, and prepare the documentation for a clear, organized response. I communicate with the IRS on your behalf and work to limit the financial impact.
I evaluate your financial position and determine whether you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise. I prepare the submission, address IRS follow-up requests, and guide you.
I assess your income, assets, and allowable expenses to negotiate a manageable payment arrangement. My goal is to stabilize collections.
I intervene quickly when the IRS or State initiates levies or garnishments. I work to stop or reduce enforcement and help you regain control of your financial situation.
You reach out to me to review your notices, your situation, and your most urgent concerns. I gather the details I need to understand how far the IRS or State has progressed.
I walk through your history, financial picture, and compliance status. I explain what the IRS is likely assessing and outline the actions I can take to stabilize the case.
I begin the work needed to stop escalation, organize your filings, and negotiate a realistic path forward. You receive steady updates as each stage progresses.

Great place to get your taxes done I have no regrets on choosing TLC to do my taxes thumbs up Marci MartinezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was fortunate to find TLC through numerous recommendations on our community social media page. My tax situation isn't especially complicated, though I do receive both a W-2 and 1099. For years, I handled my taxes myself, but eventually it became more than I wanted to manage on my own. I needed someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and patient, as I was admittedly nervous about seeking outside help. Scott came highly recommended, and now I understand why. From the very beginning, Scott and his team were responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful. I had a lot of questions, and they took the time to answer every one of them thoroughly. At no point did I feel rushed or dismissed. They genuinely seemed to put my financial interests first and made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and straightforward. The first year I worked with them, I had already filed an extension myself and, as usual, procrastinated on scheduling an appointment. Even so, once we got started, the process moved quickly and efficiently, and I was able to get everything wrapped up with far less stress than I expected. One thing I particularly appreciate is how streamlined their process is. They use a secure online portal where documents can be uploaded easily, and their team carefully reviews everything before reaching out if additional information is needed. Communication was always prompt and clear. The office staff deserves special recognition as well. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. The entire experience was efficient, organized, and professional from start to finish. I am incredibly grateful for Scott and his team and would not hesitate to recommend TLC to anyone looking for a tax professional they can trust.
