Tax Dispute Resolution

Advocating on your Behalf with the IRS to Settle Tax Controversies

Haven’t filed tax returns in several years? Do you have a balance due to the IRS or state? Have you received a letter proposing a change to your tax return? Is the IRS or state threating to place a lien on or seize your property? Our Tax Dispute Resolution team can help you resolve these issues and regain your peace of mind.


With additional IRS funding and the states’ need for additional revenue, enforcement action has become a focus of Congress and state legislatures. Our experienced tax CPAs and advisors specialize in pinpointing the issues, determining the best resolution and executing a plan to help you navigate the IRS and state processes.
