IRS and California business tax resolution

Business tax problem? Get representation before it disrupts operations.

CPA and Enrolled Agent led representation for IRS and California business tax notices, late entity filings, back taxes, penalties, liens, levies, and appeals.

How we help

A tax notice addressed to your company can disrupt payroll, banking, and customers if it is ignored. The first job is to understand what the notice says, which tax and which period it covers, and when you must respond.

We review the notice and the company’s records, explain the options, and represent the business in communications with the agency. In some cases the person responsible for a company’s taxes can also be held personally liable, so we look at the company’s exposure and the owner’s together.

What we can help with

Payroll tax notices

Notices about employment taxes often carry short deadlines. We review the notice, the deposits, and the records behind them.

Late business returns

We identify which entity returns are missing, prepare them, and bring the company current.

Back taxes and payment options

When the company owes more than it can pay at once, we review the arrangements the agency offers and which one fits the business.

Penalties

Some business penalties can be reduced or removed. Our article on penalty relief explains the main routes.

Liens, levies, and appeals

Collection action has deadlines. We review what the agency has done and which steps are open, including an appeal.

When a notice arrives

Read it, and write down the date it asks you to respond by. Do not ignore it, and do not let it sit while the business keeps running. Gather the records it mentions, and contact us with a copy. You can call or text an office from this page.

How it starts

01

A conversation

You tell us what you are facing or planning. We listen, ask questions, and tell you whether we are the right fit.

02

An agreed scope

If we work together, we agree on what we will do, who is responsible for what, and the fee, before the work begins.

03

The work

We gather the facts, explain your options in plain terms, and act while your choices are still open.

This page is for companies. If the notice is in your personal name, see tax representation for individuals.

Common questions

The company is missing several years of returns. Can you still help?

Yes. We identify what must be filed, in what order, and how that sequence sits next to any collection action already in motion.

There is a lien, levy, or collection action against the company. What now?

Call with the notice. Collection has deadlines. We review the company's facts and which alternatives those facts support. Outcomes depend on the case.

Can business tax exposure reach the owner?

Sometimes, depending on the tax type, the entity, and the facts. We look at the company file and the owner's exposure together, not as two separate problems.

Is this only the IRS, or California agencies too?

We represent companies before the IRS and California tax agencies. Bring the notice. We will tell you whether that agency matter is in scope.

If the company has an active notice, filing delinquency, or collection action, call or text us now.
