Dealing with an IRS notice, unpaid tax balance or years of unfiled returns can quickly become overwhelming. Understanding what the IRS actually has on record and which options genuinely apply is an important first step toward resolving the situation.
Tax Resolution DRS is a Michigan practice focused specifically on federal tax controversy and IRS collection matters. The practice is led by Eric L. Schacher, MSA, EA, CTRS, an Enrolled Agent and Certified Tax Resolution Specialist authorized to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service.
Professional IRS Representation
One of the biggest challenges people face with an IRS issue is knowing how to communicate with the agency and what steps need to happen next.
Tax Resolution DRS represents individuals, self-employed professionals and small businesses facing federal tax balances, unfiled returns and active IRS collection matters.
Once representation is established through an appropriate power of attorney, the practice can communicate with the IRS, review account transcripts and work through the case based on the taxpayer's actual records.
Back Taxes and Unfiled Returns
Ignoring unfiled returns or an outstanding IRS balance rarely makes the problem easier.
Tax Resolution DRS begins by determining which tax years are open, what has been assessed and what information the IRS currently has on file.
When returns are missing, bringing those filings into compliance can be an important part of becoming eligible for available resolution programs.
Understanding the Available Resolution Options
Every tax situation is different, which means there is no single solution that works for everyone.
Depending on the facts of the case, potential options may include an Installment Agreement, Offer in Compromise, Partial Pay Installment Agreement, penalty abatement or Currently Not Collectible status.
Tax Resolution DRS emphasizes reviewing income, allowable expenses, assets and IRS records before recommending a particular strategy.
The goal is to identify an option supported by the taxpayer's actual circumstances rather than promising a result before the case has been properly evaluated.
A Clear, Step-by-Step Process
Tax Resolution DRS follows a structured process when handling tax-resolution matters.
The process begins with an initial evaluation, followed by investigation of IRS transcripts and account information.
If necessary, missing returns are addressed so the taxpayer can return to filing compliance.
Financial information is then reviewed to determine which resolution strategy may fit the circumstances. Once a strategy has been selected, the practice handles the necessary submissions and follows up with the IRS throughout the process.
Experienced Tax Resolution Guidance
Eric L. Schacher holds a Master of Science in Accounting, is an Enrolled Agent, and is a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist.
As an Enrolled Agent, he is federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS in administrative matters including examinations, collections and appeals.
Tax Resolution DRS focuses specifically on tax resolution and representation rather than operating as a broad general accounting practice.
Straight Answers Without Unrealistic Promises
Tax problems can make people vulnerable to advertisements promising dramatic settlements or guaranteed outcomes.
Tax Resolution DRS takes a different approach.
The practice states that it does not guarantee specific IRS outcomes. Instead, recommendations are based on IRS transcripts, documentation and a financial analysis of the individual case.
If a particular program is not realistic for the taxpayer's circumstances, the practice explains the alternatives that may be available.
