Strategic CPA Accounting, Tax Planning & Advisory for Entrepreneurs, Families & Fiduciaries

Our tax resolution services are priced based on the complexity of your situation. Unlike many tax resolution companies, we take a different approach:

1. We start with a Strategy Session to thoroughly understand your tax challenges
2. We then obtain Power of Attorney to access your IRS records and investigate your options
3. Only after we’re confident we can help, do we provide a firm quote for resolution services

This measured approach sets us apart from non-CPA tax resolution companies that often demand large upfront payments while promising unrealistic “pennies on the dollar” settlements. We prioritize transparency and only take on cases where we believe we can achieve meaningful results.

Most importantly, we’re your existing CPA firm, not just a resolution company. This means we not only solve immediate tax issues but also implement systems to prevent future problems – protecting the business we’ve helped you build.

Don’t ignore it! Reach out to us immediately. We can help review the notice, explain its implications, and recommend the best course of action. Ignoring the notice is the worst thing you can do, but contacting the IRS directly without a professional’s analysis can also lead to unintended consequences. Let us guide you through the process to ensure the best possible outcome.

Payroll taxes are a priority for the IRS, and penalties can be severe. We can help you set up a payment plan and work toward compliance.

Yes, if you owe back taxes and fail to address them, the IRS can issue liens, levies, or wage garnishments. Resolving your tax issues promptly can prevent or stop such actions.

Yes, the IRS can seize business assets to satisfy unpaid taxes. It’s critical to act quickly to resolve issues before they escalate.

Yes, the IRS can issue a summons to your vendors or other third parties, such as suppliers or clients, to obtain records related to your business. These documents might include invoices, payment histories, or contracts. This typically happens when the IRS is trying to verify your income, expenses, or assets to determine your tax liability or to collect unpaid taxes.

If you’re worried about the IRS involving your vendors, it’s important to act quickly. Resolving your tax issues proactively can prevent these escalations. Our firm can help you address IRS concerns, protect your business relationships, and find a resolution to your tax challenges.

Yes, the IRS can issue a Notice of Levy to your customers or clients, requiring them to pay the IRS directly instead of paying you or your business. This is a common enforcement action taken when a business has unpaid tax liabilities, particularly payroll taxes or other significant debts.

The idea of settling tax debt for “pennies on the dollar” is a common claim, but it’s important to approach such promises with caution. While the IRS does offer programs like the Offer in Compromise (OIC) to settle tax debt for less than the full amount owed, these agreements are highly conditional and require strict qualifications.

For an OIC to be accepted, the IRS must determine that:

1. You are unable to pay the full amount owed within the collection period, even through a payment plan.
2. Your offer represents the most the IRS believes they can collect based on your income, assets, and financial circumstances.

Evaluating whether an OIC is a viable option requires a lengthy process of gathering and reviewing all your financial information, including income, expenses, and assets. While the fees charged by many tax resolution companies may be fair for the work involved in preparing the OIC, what is not fair is submitting an application that clearly doesn’t meet the IRS’s outlined requirements—something many companies do knowingly. This often leaves taxpayers in the same financial position, minus thousands of dollars in fees, with a rejected OIC and no viable resolution.

At Corridor Consulting, we take a realistic and ethical approach to tax resolution.

• We start with a Strategy Session to gain a thorough understanding of your tax challenges.
• From there, we proceed with a full investigation by obtaining a Power of Attorney for tax purposes, allowing us to access your IRS records and determine the best resolution strategy for your situation.
• We only proceed if, in our professional opinion, a viable solution exists.

This measured approach sets us apart from unregulated, non-CPA tax resolution companies that prioritize collecting fees over providing genuine solutions. Our goal is to deliver resolutions that truly work for your circumstances, whether that involves an OIC, a payment plan, penalty abatement, or another IRS program.

At Corridor Consulting, we prioritize transparency, honesty, and effective solutions tailored to your needs.

Yes, as your authorized representative, we can communicate directly with the IRS to resolve your issues, allowing you to focus on your life or business. Once you have an assigned Power of Attorney, you can simply tell them to talk to your representative if they contact you.

In some cases, yes. If you can demonstrate reasonable cause or prove the penalties were assessed in error, we can request abatement on your behalf.

Contact us immediately. We can help reconstruct your income, file missing returns, and negotiate with the IRS and state taxing agencies to minimize penalties and interest. In some cases we maybe able to completely remove penalties and interest through voluntary disclosure processes.

The IRS offers options like installment agreements, currently not collectible status, and offers in compromise. We can help you explore these options and find the best fit.
