Questions
Common questions
I haven't filed taxes in years. Is it too late?
No. Filing late is almost always better than not filing. We'll figure out which years need to be filed and get your records together, even if some documents are missing.
Can you stop IRS collection?
Collection action can often be paused or resolved through a payment plan or other arrangement, depending on your situation. I'll tell you honestly what's realistic after reviewing your case.
Can I get on a payment plan?
Many taxpayers qualify for an installment agreement. We'll look at what you owe and what you can afford, then set up the plan that fits.
Do I need to meet in person?
No. You can meet at the Irvington office or work with me remotely by phone and video, wherever you are in the states I serve.
