WARNING: Why We’re Different From Nationwide Tax Mills
The Ugly Truth About IRS Resolution Companies
Most nationwide tax resolution companies are mills. They charge $10,000-$15,000 upfront, drag your case out for 24 months, and deliver NOTHING. By the time you realize you’ve been scammed, you owe the IRS even more due to penalties and interest.
We’re different because we REJECT 40% of potential clients. If our analysis shows we can’t save you significant money or achieve your goals, we tell you upfront. We won’t take your money just to take it. Our reputation matters more than a quick fee.
Red Flags of Tax Resolution Mills
- Promise to “settle for pennies on the dollar” without reviewing your finances
- Demand huge upfront payments before doing any work
- Won’t give you direct attorney access (you only talk to salespeople)
- Operate from call centers in other states
- Can’t provide local references or verifiable case results

Will the IRS seize my house?
RARELY – And we make it impossible
Texas homestead laws provide incredible protection. The IRS almost never seizes primary residences in Texas. We’ll ensure your home is properly protected through homestead declarations and strategic planning. In 15 years, we’ve NEVER had a client lose their home.
Can they empty my bank accounts?
Not if we act fast – 24-hour protection available
Yes, the IRS can levy bank accounts, but we can usually get emergency stays within 24 hours. We’ll also restructure your banking to protect future deposits while we resolve your case. Pro tip: The IRS must wait 30 days after final notice before levying.
Will they take my business?
We protect business assets aggressively
The IRS wants money, not your business. We negotiate payment plans that keep your business operational. For payroll tax issues, we can often get you back in compliance without shutting down operations. We’ve saved 200+ Texas businesses from IRS closure.
Can I go to jail for tax debt?
NO – Civil debt isn’t criminal
You cannot go to jail for owing taxes. Period. Criminal prosecution only occurs for willful tax evasion or fraud, which requires intent to deceive. If you filed returns (even if you couldn’t pay), you’re dealing with civil matters only.
Will this destroy my professional licenses?
We prevent license issues proactively
Many professional licenses (medical, legal, real estate) can be affected by tax liens. We work directly with licensing boards and expedite IRS resolutions to prevent license suspension. We’ve protected licenses for 150+ Dallas professionals.
What if I haven’t filed returns in years?
We fix it – No judgment, just solutions
We prepare and file all back returns, often finding deductions you missed that reduce your liability. The IRS voluntary disclosure program can minimize penalties. One client hadn’t filed for 8 years – we got him compliant with penalty abatement.

Frequently Asked Questions About IRS Resolution
What’s the difference between an EA, CPA, and Tax Attorney for IRS problems?
Enrolled Agents (EA): Can represent you before the IRS but cannot go to Tax Court or provide legal protection.
CPAs: Great for tax preparation and planning but most aren’t litigation-trained for serious IRS disputes.
Tax Attorneys: Can represent you at ALL levels including Tax Court, can provide attorney-client privilege protection, and can sue the IRS when they violate your rights. For serious IRS problems, you want an attorney.
How long does IRS resolution typically take?
Emergency Relief: 24-48 hours for levy releases and stays of collection
Installment Agreements: 30-60 days for standard agreements
Offer in Compromise: 6-12 months (we average 7 months)
Innocent Spouse Relief: 4-6 months
Audit Defense: 3-6 months for office audits, 6-18 months for field audits
Currently Not Collectible: 30-45 days
Will hiring an attorney make the IRS more aggressive?
Absolutely not. The opposite is true. IRS agents know that represented taxpayers understand their rights and have protection. They’re actually MORE cooperative with attorneys because we know the rules and speak their language. Unrepresented taxpayers get bullied – represented ones get respect.
Can you really get penalties removed?
Yes! We achieve penalty abatement in 68% of cases. The IRS has “First Time Abatement” for those with clean histories, “Reasonable Cause” relief for valid excuses, and statutory exceptions we know how to invoke. Recent example: $47,000 in penalties completely removed for client with medical emergency during tax season.
What if I can’t afford your fees AND pay the IRS?
Our fees often pay for themselves through reduced settlements and penalty abatements. Plus, we offer payment plans that work with your IRS resolution timeline. Most importantly: The IRS payment we negotiate factors in your legal fees, often resulting in lower total payments than if you tried alone.
Can the IRS really take my retirement accounts?
The IRS can levy certain retirement accounts but rarely does so for accounts in pay status. We can often protect retirement funds through proper structuring and negotiation. 401(k)s and IRAs have different protection levels – we maximize every available protection under federal and Texas law.
What’s your success rate with Offers in Compromise?
73% acceptance rate compared to 33% national average. Why? We don’t submit hopeless offers. We run the IRS formulas first, properly document everything, and know exactly what each reviewer looks for. If you don’t qualify for an OIC, we’ll tell you upfront and pursue better options.
Do you handle state tax problems too?
Yes. Texas franchise tax, sales tax, and other state tax issues. While Texas has no personal income tax, business tax problems with the Texas Comptroller can be just as serious. We handle both IRS and Texas state tax issues, often resolving them simultaneously.
What happens if the IRS rejects our initial proposal?
We appeal, renegotiate, or pivot to Plan B. Every case has multiple resolution paths. Initial rejection isn’t failure – it’s information. We use it to adjust our strategy. Our multi-layer approach means we always have backup plans. That’s why our overall success rate exceeds 95%.
The IRS Won’t Wait. Neither Should You.
Every day you wait, penalties and interest add 8-10% annually to your debt. But more importantly, you’re losing sleep, damaging relationships, and missing opportunities.
