Tax Relief Services | Tax Attorney Help in TN & MS

All tax problems have a solution, and at Damiens Law, we offer a full range of tax resolution services to our clients in Tennessee and Mississippi. 

When you contact us about tax relief services, you’ll never get pushed into a generic resolution plan – instead, you’ll get a customized strategy based on the unique factors of your case. Ready to get help now? Get in touch with us to set up a consultation. 

Tax Resolution Services for Individual and Business Taxpayers

Here are some of the main tax relief services we provide to taxpayers – but again, remember, the strategy will be tailored to your needs, and sometimes, we’ll explore more than one solution to fully resolve your case. 

If you’re facing any tax problem, here’s the very first service you need:

Tax Attorney Representation

Every case starts with this solution – representation from our experienced legal team. Our tax attorneys can handle your case from the moment you receive your first IRS notice until we achieve the target resolution, even if that involves appeals or, for really complex cases, Tax Court. 

If you owe back taxes or unpaid payroll taxes, we’ll explore the following solutions:

IRS Payment Plans

Payment plans, or installment agreements, let you make affordable monthly payments when you can’t afford to pay in full. We’ll help you identify the best installment agreement based on the type of tax you owe, when it expires, and your budget. 

Offer in Compromise

Some taxpayers can settle their debt for less with an offer in compromise when they can’t afford a payment plan. The offer is based on your financial situation. Leverage our experience to navigate the application process in the most beneficial way possible.

Currently Not Collectible

CNC status is a temporary pause on collections due to financial hardship, which also requires submitting detailed financial information to the IRS. Let us help you determine if this is the right option for your case. 

Innocent Spouse Relief

You may qualify for innocent spouse relief if you’re responsible for a tax debt incurred by your spouse’s underreporting or underpayments. This solution requires a detailed understanding of the IRS’s procedures and the nuances of the tax code – you need our attorneys in your corner if you want to succeed. 

IRS Tax Forgiveness

Although the IRS doesn’t have a set program called “tax forgiveness” – it’s a solution a lot of taxpayers come to us for. When we can get tax liability waivers, reductions, or even expirations for our clients, we certainly do. Since there’s no set forgiveness program, that typically involves offers in compromise, penalty abatement, or waiting out the collection clock so the debt expires.

Bankruptcy 

In select cases, bankruptcy is the right option for resolving tax debt – but definitely not always. Let our legal team evaluate which of your tax liabilities qualify for discharge through bankruptcy and help you decide if that’s the best option in light of your full financial situation. 

If penalties are making your balance grow, it’s time to stop them with this solution: 

Penalty Abatement

The IRS offers penalty abatement for taxpayers who haven’t had penalties in the last three years and for those who can show reasonable cause or meet other criteria. We know what the IRS wants to hear and how to make a compelling argument that you deserve penalty relief. 

Facing an IRS audit? Has an auditor claimed you filed a false return? Then, you need:

Audit Defense

Navigating any audit is stressful – even if it involves a relatively simple return that was filed accurately. The stakes get even higher when you’re dealing with business tax returns, itemized deductions, or other complex areas of the tax code. 

Our representation is critical for protecting your interests and getting through the process as easily as possible. 

Received a notice about a lien or a levy? Been denied for a relief option? Disagree with audit results? When you want to dispute the IRS, we can help you with… 

Appeals

There’s an appeals option for most IRS decisions – but figuring out which appeal option applies, filing by the deadline, and meeting procedural requirements isn’t easy. Get in touch with us as soon as you receive a notice or unfavorable decision, and we’ll help you understand the appeals process for that situation. 

Not sure where to start? We’ll help with that too. Every case starts with… 

Tax Transcript Review

See what the IRS has recorded for tax filings, payments, notices, and other actions. We’ll review it for accuracy – the IRS makes more mistakes than you think. Then, we’ll use the details to develop your custom resolution strategy. 

State Tax Resolution

With offices in Tennessee and Mississippi, we’re perfectly poised to help our clients deal with tax problems in these states. We’ll coordinate our efforts with your IRS resolution so that you have the best strategy possible – even if you’re facing a multi-state tax problem. 

Our state resolution services include – but are not limited to: 

• Mississippi Tax Attorney Representation – work with an attorney who knows how the tax code really works in this state.
• Mississippi Offer in Compromise – leverage our knowledge to settle MS state taxes for less than owed if you qualify.
• MS Payment Plans – resolve state tax debt with monthly payments. 
• Tennessee Tax Attorney Representation – let our legal team protect your interests in the Volunteer State.

• The IRS is threatening wage garnishment or asset seizure.

FAQs About Tax Resolution Services

How Does Tax Resolution Work?

When you’re dealing with a tax issue, like tax debt, penalties, or collections, tax resolution services help you get on top of it, whether through an IRS relief program or through a payment plan.

How Do I Resolve My IRS Tax Debt?

The first step is to see if you can afford monthly payments to pay off your tax debt over time. If you can’t afford payments, you may qualify for an offer in compromise or currently not collectible (CNC) status.

What Are My Options When I Can’t Pay Taxes?

If you can’t afford to pay your taxes in full, don’t just ignore IRS notices and hope the problem goes away. Damiens Law will talk to you about your options, including installment agreements, offers in compromise, CNC status, or penalty abatement.

Can Businesses Apply for Tax Relief?

Yes, businesses qualify for many state and federal resolution programs. You may be able to set up a payment plan for business tax debt or apply for another form of relief to start addressing unpaid taxes.

Do I Need an Attorney to Resolve My Taxes?

Not all taxpayers need an attorney when dealing with a tax issue. If you can afford to pay your balance in full or in monthly installments, requesting a payment plan is fairly simple online. However, if you have a high balance, can’t afford payments, or aren’t sure what your options are, talk to an attorney. They can work with the IRS on your behalf to get you the best deal.
