Tax Resolution Focus Areas
Tax Levies and Liens:
Protecting Your Assets & Future
An IRS tax lien is the government's legal claim against your property (like real estate or financial assets) when you owe back taxes.
A
tax levy is a more aggressive action, allowing the IRS to seize your property, bank accounts, or other assets to satisfy your debt. Both can cripple your finances and credit.
The Problem:
Ignoring IRS notices about liens and levies can have devastating consequences. A lien can prevent you from selling property, while a levy can instantly drain your bank account or garnish your investment portfolio. The IRS moves swiftly, and understanding the nuances of how and when they implement these actions is critical.
Our Solution:
Saenz Tax Resolutions provides immediate and strategic intervention to address and resolve IRS tax liens and levies.
- Lien Removal/Withdrawal: We work to negotiate the release or withdrawal of liens, understanding the specific criteria the IRS uses to make these decisions.
- Preventative Measures: If a lien or levy is threatened, we act quickly to engage the IRS, present alternative solutions, and prevent the seizure of your assets before it happens.
- Negotiating Payment Plans: Often, establishing an approved Installment Agreement or Offer in Compromise is the key to having a lien released or preventing a levy. We expertly navigate these negotiations on your behalf.
Our Advantage:
David Saenz's four decades in IRS field collections means he understands the exact conditions under which liens and levies are issued, how revenue officers pursue them, and the most effective ways to negotiate their release. This inside knowledge is your strongest defense.
Wage Garnishments:
Stopping the Deduction &
Restoring Your Income
A wage garnishment is when the IRS instructs your employer to withhold a portion of your wages and send it directly to them to satisfy your tax debt.
This can dramatically impact your take-home pay, making it difficult to cover essential living expenses.
The Problem:
Wage garnishments are a severe and immediate financial burden. They often take effect with little warning, leaving you scrambling to adjust your budget. The IRS will continue to garnish until the debt is paid or a resolution is reached.
Our Solution:
Saenz Tax Resolutions acts swiftly to address and stop IRS wage garnishments.
- Immediate Contact with IRS: We directly engage with the IRS to establish a dialogue and negotiate for the release of the garnishment.
- Establishing Alternatives: Our primary goal is to replace the garnishment with a more manageable resolution, such as an Installment Agreement based on your ability to pay.
- Protecting Your Income: We work to ensure you retain sufficient income to cover your necessary living expenses, advocating for a payment plan that is fair and sustainable.
Our Advantage: David Saenz's extensive background in revenue recovery operations for the IRS means he knows the precise mechanisms and internal thresholds that trigger wage garnishments, as well as the most persuasive arguments to achieve their release.
Seizures:
Defending Your Property from IRS Confiscation
An IRS seizure is the most aggressive enforcement action the IRS can take.
It involves the government taking physical possession of your assets (e.g., your home, car, business property) and selling them to pay your tax debt.
The Problem:
Seizures represent the ultimate loss of assets and are a dire sign that your tax issue has escalated significantly. Preventing a seizure, or acting immediately after one occurs, is paramount to protecting your livelihood and property.
Our Solution:
Saenz Tax Resolutions provides urgent and robust representation against IRS seizure actions.
- Crisis Intervention: We act quickly to engage the IRS, understand the basis for the seizure, and present compelling reasons why the action should be halted or reversed.
- Negotiated Resolutions: We push for alternative resolutions, such as an Offer in Compromise or a structured payment plan, that demonstrate your commitment to resolving the debt without the need for seizure.
- Legal & Administrative Advocacy: We leverage our deep knowledge of IRS procedures and taxpayer rights to challenge improper seizures and protect your assets.
Our Advantage:
David Saenz's career in IRS field collections included operations directly related to revenue recovery. He deeply understands the legal framework and internal processes that lead to seizures, giving us a unique ability to counter these aggressive actions.
IRS "Fresh Start" Initiative:
Opportunities for Relief
The IRS "Fresh Start" initiative refers to a series of programs and policy changes designed to help struggling taxpayers resolve their tax debts and avoid enforced collection actions.
This includes expanded eligibility for Offers in Compromise, more flexible Installment Agreements, and reduced penalties.
The Problem:
While the "Fresh Start" initiative offers significant relief, understanding eligibility requirements, navigating the application process, and effectively negotiating with the IRS can be daunting for individuals and businesses. Missed opportunities can mean higher payments or continued collection actions.
Our Solution:
Saenz Tax Resolutions guides you through the complexities of the "Fresh Start" programs to secure the relief you qualify for.
- Eligibility Assessment: We analyze your financial situation to determine which "Fresh Start" programs you genuinely qualify for.
- Strategic Application: We prepare and submit all necessary documentation, ensuring your application is complete, compelling, and compliant with IRS requirements.
- Negotiation & Advocacy: We negotiate with the IRS on your behalf, advocating for the most favorable terms available under the "Fresh Start" guidelines.
Our Advantage:
David Saenz's four decades of experience means he has firsthand knowledge of how the IRS implements and interprets these initiatives. He understands the internal metrics and decision-making processes that determine who qualifies and how much relief they receive.
Personal and Business IRS Representation:
Your Trusted Advocate
Facing the IRS can be intimidating.
Whether it's an audit, a collection notice, or a complex tax dispute, having a seasoned professional represent you can dramatically improve your outcome and reduce
your stress.
The Problem:
Attempting to communicate directly with the IRS without proper representation can lead to misunderstandings, providing incorrect information, or unknowingly waiving your rights. This applies equally to individuals navigating personal tax issues and businesses dealing with corporate or payroll tax challenges.
Our Solution:
Saenz Tax Resolutions provides comprehensive representation, acting as your sole point of contact with the IRS.
- Audit Representation: We handle all communication during an audit, gather necessary documentation, and argue your position to minimize liabilities.
- Collections Representation: We negotiate payment plans, Offers in Compromise, and other resolutions to address back taxes and halt collection actions.
- Penalty Abatement: We work to reduce or eliminate penalties assessed by the IRS where reasonable cause exists.
- Unfiled Returns: We address any associated tax liabilities or penalties.
Our Advantage:
David Saenz's 41 years in IRS field collections means he's been on the other side of the table. He understands the internal objectives of IRS personnel and can anticipate their strategies, allowing us to effectively prepare and present your case for the strongest possible defense.
Offer in Compromise (OIC) Situations:
Settling Your Debt for Less
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) allows certain taxpayers to resolve their tax liability with the IRS for a lower amount than they originally owe.
It's an agreement between you and the IRS that resolves your tax debt.
The Problem:
OICs are often seen as a "holy grail" of tax resolution, but they are not easily granted. The IRS only accepts OICs when it believes the amount offered is the most it can expect to collect within a reasonable period. The application process is extensive, complex, and requires meticulous financial disclosure. Many OICs are rejected due to errors or improper presentation.
Our Solution:
Saenz Tax Resolutions provides expert guidance and strategic preparation for Offer in Compromise situations.
- Thorough Eligibility Assessment: We meticulously analyze your "Reasonable Collection Potential" (RCP) – your ability to pay, income, expenses, and asset equity – to determine if an OIC is a viable and advantageous option for you.
- Compelling Proposal Preparation: We prepare a robust, accurate, and persuasive OIC package, ensuring all financial disclosures are complete and presented in a manner that maximizes your chances of acceptance.
- Expert Negotiation: David Saenz's intimate knowledge of IRS collection standards and how they evaluate OICs gives us a powerful edge in negotiating the best possible settlement terms on your behalf. We know what arguments resonate with IRS personnel.
Our Advantage:
David Saenz's extensive background in IRS revenue recovery and taxpayer outreach operations means he deeply understands the internal criteria and decision-making processes that lead to OIC acceptance. He knows how to craft an offer that aligns with the IRS's internal assessment of what is truly collectible.
