Honest answers
Frequently asked questions.
Plain-language answers about working with a tax-resolution CPA.
General
What is tax resolution and how does it work?+
Tax resolution is the process of negotiating with the IRS on behalf of a taxpayer to settle, reduce, or restructure tax debt and stop collection actions. It typically involves filing Power of Attorney, pulling IRS transcripts, evaluating resolution options, and submitting the appropriate paperwork.
Are you attorneys or CPAs?+
Comprehensive Tax Resolution LLC is a CPA firm. CPAs are federally authorized tax practitioners who can represent taxpayers before the IRS in all matters — examinations, collections, and appeals.
Do you handle cases nationwide?+
Yes. Federal tax representation is not limited by state. We work with taxpayers across the United States.
How We Work
What happens when I call?+
Your first call is a free, confidential consultation with our team. We listen to your situation, review any IRS notices you've received, and explain what your realistic options look like. No high-pressure sales.
Will the IRS stop contacting me directly?+
Once we file Power of Attorney (Form 2848), the IRS is required to communicate with our office instead of you.
How long does a typical case take?+
It depends on the resolution. Levy releases and emergency relief can happen in days. Installment agreements typically resolve in weeks. Offers in Compromise generally take 6–12 months.
Fees & Engagement
How do you charge for tax resolution?+
We charge flat fees based on the scope of work — never hourly surprises. After the free consultation we provide a clear, written engagement letter so you know exactly what's included.
Do you offer payment plans for your fees?+
Yes. We work with most clients on reasonable payment arrangements so cost is not a barrier to getting representation.
Outcomes
Can you guarantee an Offer in Compromise will be accepted?+
No reputable tax professional can guarantee IRS acceptance. We pre-qualify every OIC case before submission and only recommend filing when the facts support acceptance.
What if I owe more than I can ever pay?+
There are multiple options — Offer in Compromise, Partial Pay Installment Agreement, Currently Not Collectible, and waiting out the 10-year collection statute. The right answer depends on your facts.
The first call is free. The clarity it gives you is the whole point.
