What affects the price
The final amount you pay for tax relief services depends on several moving parts. Your total debt balance is the biggest factor, as it dictates the complexity of the negotiation. Other elements include whether you have unfiled tax returns, the number of years you are behind, and if the IRS has already started active collection efforts like wage garnishment or liens. We evaluate your specific financial situation and history to determine the right path forward. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
An IRS office is a physical location where you can sometimes resolve basic tax issues or drop off documents. However, they do not typically provide debt settlement or negotiation services for back taxes. You might visit an office if you have been instructed to verify your identity or resolve a specific administrative error. If your goal is to reduce a large tax debt, you will need a tax professional, not just an IRS office; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
