We assist clients in navigating all types of enforced collection action, including liens, levies, wage garnishment, and asset seizure. Sage Law Firm helps mitigate the impact on our clients’ financial assets while protecting their rights. Our attorneys work diligently to negotiate a release, modification, or withdrawal of liens and levies whenever possible, allowing our clients to retain control over their assets and financial affairs.
Attorneys at Sage Law Firm will step in immediately, handling communications with IRS or state officials so you can stay focused on what matters most. We routinely achieve collection postponements and employ a variety of tools and techniques to reach the most favorable resolution for our clients.
Offers in Compromise: We help clients explore the option of an Offer in Compromise (OIC) as a means of resolving their tax debt with the IRS or state taxation agency. Our attorneys guide clients through the OIC process, preparing and submitting comprehensive offers that stand the best chance of acceptance by the IRS. We advocate vigorously on behalf of our clients to achieve favorable outcomes and reduce their tax liabilities.
Installment Agreements: We assist clients in negotiating installment agreements with the IRS and state tax agencies to repay their tax debt over time. Our attorneys work closely with clients to develop manageable payment plans that align with their financial circumstances, ensuring compliance with federal and state requirements and minimizing the risk of further collection action.
Currently Not Collectible Status: We help clients obtain Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status from the IRS, temporarily suspending collection efforts while our clients work to improve their financial situation. Our attorneys advocate for our clients’ eligibility for CNC status, providing the necessary documentation and supporting evidence to demonstrate financial hardship and inability to pay.
Penalty Abatement: We assist clients in seeking penalty abatement from the IRS or state taxation agencies for certain tax penalties assessed against them. Our attorneys review clients’ tax histories and circumstances to identify opportunities for penalty relief, submitting persuasive requests for abatement based on reasonable cause, improper advice, family or medical emergency, natural disaster, or other grounds recognized by the law.
Bankruptcy: In cases where clients are experiencing overwhelming financial difficulties, we provide comprehensive representation in bankruptcy proceedings that may relieve clients of tax liabilities. Our attorneys assess clients’ eligibility for bankruptcy, guide them through the bankruptcy process, and advocate for their rights and interests to achieve a fresh financial start.
