The IRS Tax Resolution Lawyers You Can Bank On

For taxpayers who qualify, the Offer in Compromise is arguably the most powerful IRS tax debt settlement tool in existence. It gives you the legal right to permanently resolve your federal tax liability for substantially less than the full amount owed. The catch? The IRS scrutinizes every OIC submission with a fine-tooth comb, and even minor errors or omissions can result in outright rejection.

Our IRS tax resolution attorneys at NHM Tax Relief have navigated the OIC process hundreds of times. We know how the IRS evaluates financial disclosures, what red flags trigger rejections, and how to present your case in a way that maximizes approval potential. If you qualify, we'll build the strongest possible submission. If you don't, we'll tell you honestly — and pivot to the next best option immediately.

Not every tax resolution story ends with a dramatic settlement. Sometimes the smartest path forward is a structured, legally binding IRS installment agreement that stops collection activity and puts you on a clear repayment timeline.

Our tax relief lawyers negotiate these agreements directly with IRS representatives — pushing back against inflated payment demands and securing terms that genuinely reflect what you can afford. No financial strain. No guesswork. Just a realistic, enforceable plan.

Here's a number that shocks most taxpayers: in many cases, penalties and accumulated interest account for 25% to 40% of the total IRS balance. That's not tax owed — that's punishment piled on top of tax owed.

Our IRS tax lawyers pursue penalty abatement aggressively, presenting documented legal and factual grounds to reduce or completely eliminate those charges. The result can be a dramatically lower balance — and a much clearer path to resolution.

Wage garnishment is one of the most financially destabilizing actions the IRS can take. When a percentage of every paycheck is being redirected before you even see it, daily life becomes a constant struggle.

NHM Tax Relief's tax resolution attorneys treat garnishment cases with the urgency they deserve. We move quickly to challenge the garnishment, open direct communication with the IRS, and work toward a fast release — restoring your income while we pursue a permanent resolution in the background.

A bank levy doesn't just freeze future deposits — it can wipe out everything currently sitting in your account. The window to challenge a levy is narrow, which is why immediate legal action matters.

Our IRS tax relief attorneys know exactly how to respond to bank levies with speed and legal precision, protecting as much of your assets as possible while establishing the framework for a broader resolution.

An IRS audit is an investigation, not a conversation. The questions are deliberate. The document requests are strategic. And every response you give — or fail to give — carries legal consequences.

NHM Tax Relief provides full IRS audit representation, meaning our tax attorneys handle every facet of your audit defense. We review the IRS's requests, prepare legally sound responses, represent you in all meetings and hearings, and ensure your rights are upheld throughout the entire process. You don't attend a single meeting unprepared or unprotected.

Sometimes circumstances beyond your control make it genuinely impossible to meet your tax obligations without sacrificing basic necessities. The IRS recognizes this — and has a formal program to address it.

Currently Not Collectible status legally suspends all IRS collection activity against you, including garnishments, levies, and enforcement notices. Our IRS tax resolution lawyers know exactly how to document and present your financial hardship in a way that qualifies you for this critical protection.

Unfiled tax returns are one of the fastest ways to turn a manageable tax problem into a federal legal issue. The IRS can file substitute returns on your behalf — almost always in their favor — and use those filings as the basis for collection actions.

Our tax lawyers guide you through the back-filing process from start to finish, ensuring your returns are accurate, complete, and strategically filed to minimize your exposure and set up the strongest possible resolution outcome.
