Practical guidance and representation to address IRS notices, back taxes, and tax compliance concerns.
How we assist individuals and small businesses
When you receive an IRS notice, the immediate priority is understanding the issue and taking the appropriate next step. Our practice focuses on clear communication, careful review of tax records, and representation when required. We work with clients across McKinney and nearby communities to resolve liabilities, request penalty relief where applicable, and establish acceptable payment arrangements.
Common matters we handle
Response to IRS notices and examinations
Collections issues, including liens and levies
Offer in Compromise and installment agreements
Payroll tax problems for employers
Penalty abatement requests and account transcripts review
Preparation and filing of delinquent tax returns
Our approach
We begin by reviewing your IRS correspondence and tax account. After identifying the root cause, we explain the practical options and recommended steps in plain language. If representation is needed, we handle written responses, negotiate with the IRS, and help arrange payment plans that reflect your financial situation.
Getting started
Bring any IRS notices, recent tax returns, and records of payments. If you cannot locate documents, we can help obtain transcripts directly from the IRS with your authorization. Timely action often prevents escalation of collection activity and makes resolution more affordable and predictable.
What to expect during representation
Representation begins with a written engagement that describes the scope of services and estimated fees. You will receive regular updates on correspondence with the IRS and copies of any forms or letters sent on your behalf. Our team coordinates with CPAs, enrolled agents, and payroll professionals as needed to ensure all tax matters are addressed consistently.
Fees and transparency
Fee structures depend on the complexity of the case. For straightforward filings or routine notices, we offer fixed-fee options. Complex matters such as offers in compromise or cases involving multiple tax years are quoted after an initial review. All fees and any projected third-party costs are documented before work begins.
Local knowledge
Managing a tax matter effectively often depends on prompt action and working with advisors who understand both federal procedures and how local factors—such as business operations or community programs—affect outcomes. We maintain a strong relationship with local tax professionals and community organizations in Collin County to provide practical, actionable advice.

Yes. Ignoring IRS correspondence can result in additional penalties or enforced collection actions. Responding promptly preserves options and often reduces total cost. If you're unsure how to reply, we can review the notice and prepare the necessary response.
Can penalties be removed?
Penalty relief is available in certain circumstances, such as reasonable cause or administrative waivers. Each case is reviewed on its merits; we prepare the supporting documentation and handle the submission to the IRS.
Will the IRS accept an offer in compromise?
Offers in compromise are accepted when the IRS determines the taxpayer cannot pay the full liability within a reasonable period. The process requires detailed documentation of income, assets, and necessary expenses. We assess eligibility and prepare the application when appropriate.
