• Installment Agreements: Negotiating structured monthly payment agreements and streamlined repayment programs that protect taxpayers from enforcement actions.
• Hardship and Currently Not Collectible Status: Shielding economically distressed clients from collection efforts when immediate payment would cause undue financial hardship.
• Penalty Abatement Petitions: Challenging failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties, including landmark matters where the firm secured full abatement of multi-million-dollar corporate assessments.
