Our Services

Put us to work… so you don’t have to!

When you call, our experts will help you select the tax services you need and from that, we will craft a plan for you to follow. Within the first 48 hours we will have a current snapshot of exactly what is owed and when. We then do the heavy lifting on our side, detail the steps of handling the issue as quickly as possible and walk you through the entire process.

Offer In Compromise (OIC)

This program is one of the most sought after outcomes in IRS tax relief. The Offer actually settles your liability for less than what you owe. It’s sometimes referred to as a “pennies on the dollar” settlement because you can settle for as little as 1% of what you owe! If your current financial status proves that you do not have the ability to fully pay your outstanding balance, this program may be for you. Call us and we can go through the government’s mathematical formula to see if you qualify!

Penalty Abatement

There are two main ways the government charges penalties for not paying your taxes on time. They are very expensive and add up quickly! These are the penalties you can expect if you haven’t filed and/or haven’t paid:

  • Failure to file (FTF):The IRS charges a penalty for not filing on time of 5% of the unpaid tax for the first 5 months. This penalty maxes out at 25%.
  • Failure to pay (FTP):The IRS charges a penalty for failing to pay your taxes on time.  This penalty ranges from .5% to 1% per month until the taxes are paid.

The IRS considers releasing penalties for taxpayers that demonstrate financial hardship and reasonable cause. Let us help explain your side by preparing a personal story of what happened to stop you from meeting your tax obligations. Your story means everything. That’s why we want to ensure it’s heard.

Formalized Installment Agreements

If your total tax burden is greater than $50,000 personally or $25,000 as a business, you’re required to fill out a financial statement to help determine how much you have to pay per month.  The IRS has several  Collections Information Statements to pick from and choosing which one to file isn’t always as easy as it seems. Some plans can benefit you, while others extend your pay off date with high penalties and interest.  We can help negotiate a principal driven Installment Agreement that allows you to pay off your taxes in the shortest time possible while saving money. Let us make this easy!  Find out which type of Installment Agreement is right for you by calling us today.

Partial Pay Installment Agreement

Since the IRS only has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect any outstanding tax due, you may be able to negotiate an Installment Agreement that does not fully pay the liability by the end of the statute. This is one of the most effective tools for taxpayers that are experiencing a financial hardship. Our number one priority is to make sure that you come first. Our dedicated team will negotiate the lowest Installment Agreement based on what you can afford, not the amount you owe.

Note:  This program is only in effect with the IRS.  State revenue departments do not offer this program.  A different strategy is available per your state agency..

Currently Not Collectible

Let’s face it, life’s problems tend to happen at the worst times. A study done by Harvard University revealed the number one cause of being overwhelmed by back taxes was due to medical expenses of which 78% of applicants had medical insurance! The number two cause is job loss. If you were recently laid off or currently struggling to find steady income, this program is designed for you!  We can help temporarily suspend your account within the collections division for a period of 6-12 months.  Let us help buy you the time you need to get back on your feet.

Collections Hold & Extensions

Oftentimes, the IRS will give you a deadline that doesn’t allow you the time to gather the necessary documentation to present your case.  If necessary, RTG can negotiate an extension on your account, giving you more time to gather supporting documents and create a great resolution strategy.

Levy/Garnishment Release

If you are unable to settle your tax liability in a timely manner, the taxing authorities may impose a garnishment on wages or a levy in an attempt to collect. The IRS is allowed to collect on:

  • Wages, real estate commissions, and other income
  • Bank accounts
  • Business assets
  • Personal assets (including your car and home)
  • Social Security benefits

If you are experiencing a levy, wage garnishment, or property seizure, your next move needs to count.  Please call our tax experts now so that we may protect you before it’s too late.

IRS Balance Disputes & Audit Representation

Sometimes the issue is not how to pay the balance—it’s whether the balance is correct in the first place.

We help clients challenge incorrect IRS assessments, amend improperly filed returns, and respond to IRS audits when necessary. In many cases, correcting the underlying issue can significantly reduce or eliminate the balance owed.

IRS Compliance & Financial Structuring

 

Resolving a tax balance requires more than just negotiating with the IRS—it requires a sustainable plan moving forward.

We work with clients to ensure they remain compliant while resolving their liabilities, including planning for estimated tax payments, restructuring cash flow, and creating a financial structure that allows them to stay current with the IRS going forward.

Business Tax Defense & Representation

Business tax issues often involve higher stakes and more complex IRS enforcement actions.

We represent business owners dealing with payroll tax liabilities, Trust Fund Recovery Penalties, sales tax issues, and direct interactions with IRS Revenue Officers. Our goal is to protect both the business and the owner while working toward a structured resolution.

Payroll Tax Liabilities

When payroll taxes fall behind, the IRS can move quickly to enforce collection. We help businesses address these liabilities while protecting ongoing operations.

Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) Representation

If the IRS is investigating personal liability for payroll taxes, we represent clients through the TFRP process and 4180 interviews to ensure their rights are protected.

Revenue Officer & IRS Interview Representation (4180)

When a Revenue Officer becomes involved, representation becomes critical. We manage communication with the IRS and represent clients during required interviews and financial reviews.

State Sales Tax Issues

Many business owners also face state-level tax issues. We assist with resolving state sales tax liabilities and negotiating structured resolutions when necessary.
