Case 01·Offer in Compromise

Selected case results
Six representative cases — and what the IRS actually accepted.
Case 02·Wage Garnishment Release
Active wage garnishment taking 65% of each paycheck. We filed Power of Attorney the same day, negotiated a streamlined installment agreement, and the levy was released within 48 hours.
Case 03·Payroll Tax Resolution
Restaurant group behind on 941 deposits with a Revenue Officer threatening seizure. We secured current compliance, negotiated an in-business installment agreement, and defended successfully at the Form 4180 interview.
Case 04·Penalty Abatement
Three years of failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. We secured First-Time Abatement on year one and reasonable-cause abatement on years two and three based on documented medical hardship.
Case 05·IRS Audit Defense
Schedule C audit proposing the disallowance of nearly all business expenses. We rebuilt records from bank statements, defended the deductions at the examination level, and closed the audit for a small accuracy-related adjustment.
Case 06·Bank Levy Release
Bank account frozen for $41,200. Taxpayer was unemployed and on disability. We documented financial hardship and obtained Currently Not Collectible status — the levy was released before the 21-day deadline.
Methodology
How to read these numbers.
Anonymized doesn't mean estimated. We document every case the way we'd want the IRS to see it: facts, dollars, and dates.
Every number is real
Balances owed, IRS-accepted settlements, and timeframes come directly from closed engagement files. We never round up or aggregate across multiple cases.
Identifying details removed
Names, exact dates, locations, and business identifiers are removed to protect client confidentiality under IRS §7216 and our professional ethics rules.
Procedure, not promises
Your case will have different facts and a different outcome. What stays the same is the procedure — Form 2848, transcripts, Form 433-A/B, and the IRS criteria we work to.
The pattern across every result above? Acting before the next IRS deadline.
The taxpayers above ranged from $28K in penalties to $240K in payroll-tax exposure. The factor that shifted their outcome wasn't size of debt — it was filing representation before the IRS escalated to seizure, lien, or levy.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every IRS case is decided on its own facts. Numbers and time frames shown are representative of actual cases handled by Comprehensive Tax Resolution LLC.
