Tax Issues We Handle
Focused Solutions for Complex IRS and State Tax Problems
Prime Tax Defense provides focused assistance for IRS and state tax matters, addressing each case through lawful review and disciplined resolution. We work with individuals and businesses facing complex tax challenges, offering clear guidance, realistic expectations, and case-specific handling based on documented eligibility and proper procedure.
-
IRS Tax Debt & Back Taxes
Review and assistance with unpaid federal tax balances, including IRS notices, liability assessment, and evaluation of lawful resolution options.
If you owe the IRS and the notices keep coming, the first step is understanding exactly what is owed and why. We review your account transcripts and notices, confirm the balance is accurate, and explain the lawful options that may apply — such as an installment agreement (a monthly payment plan), currently-not-collectible status (a temporary pause when you cannot pay), or an Offer in Compromise (a settlement for less than the full balance) where eligibility supports it.
-
State Tax Liabilities
Support for unresolved state tax obligations, including penalties and enforcement actions, handled under applicable state regulations.
State tax agencies follow their own rules, timelines, and collection practices, and they can move faster than the IRS. We review your state balance, penalties, and any enforcement already underway, then pursue resolution under the regulations of the state involved.
-
Unfiled Tax Returns
Assistance bringing delinquent tax filings into compliance by identifying missing years and addressing exposure appropriately.
Unfiled years block nearly every resolution option and can lead the IRS to file a substitute return that overstates what you owe. We identify which years are missing, gather the records to file them accurately, and bring you into compliance so a real resolution becomes possible.
-
Wage Garnishments & Bank Levies
Guidance for active collection actions, focused on reviewing enforcement validity and identifying available relief measures.
A garnishment or levy means collection is already active and time matters. We review whether the enforcement was properly issued, communicate with the agency on your behalf when representation is appropriate, and pursue the relief measures available for your circumstances.
-
Tax Liens & Enforcement Actions
Assistance addressing existing or pending tax liens through compliance review and structured resolution planning.
A tax lien attaches to your property and can affect credit, refinancing, and sales. We review the lien and your compliance position, then build a structured plan toward the resolution that may allow the lien to be released, withdrawn, or subordinated where the law permits.
-
Business & Payroll Tax Issues
Support for business-related tax matters, including payroll obligations and IRS notices, with compliance-focused handling.
Payroll tax problems carry personal exposure for owners and officers through the trust fund recovery penalty. We review the business filings, payroll deposits, and notices, address compliance first, and pursue a resolution that protects the business and the people behind it.
