Installment Agreements:

Most of our clients can’t pay all of their back taxes in the time frame that the IRS demands. We can arrange installment agreement terms that fit your budget.

Offer in Compromise:

Depending on your income and assets, an OIC may an option. The IRS is not known for giving gifts and doesn’t approve many Offers in Compromise. That said, we have achieved this result for many for our clients.

Wage Garnishment and Bank Levy Relief:

If you’ve had your wages garnished or bank accounts levied, we will work to get your money released, as well as prevent further aggressive enforced collections. Fast.

Partial Pay Installment Agreement:

This can be viewed as a hybrid between an Installment Agreement and an Offer in Compromise.

Currently Not Collectible Status:

Many of our clients don’t have the funds for an installment arrangement, though their assets or income make and Offer in Compromise impossible. For these clients, we may pursue a “CNC” status.

Unfiled Tax Returns:

Many of our clients have unfiled or past-due tax returns of all sorts. Quite often, filing these missing returns will reduce the amount that the IRS or State is claiming. We can assist in many ways, including buying you the time you need to complete and submit these missing forms.

Tax Lien Issues:

A credit-crippling tax lien will get filed if you wait too long to address your back taxes. Let us help prevent this and save you a lot of money and stress in the long run. If you already have tax liens, Larson Financial may be able to have IRS liens removed even before the liability is satisfied, if certain conditions are met.
