Tax Debt Relief And IRS Audit Defense
A tax collection letter from the IRS is often a nerve-wracking experience, but our firm can step in and give you peace of mind. Some people just put these letters off until later because they are busy with other things. This only adds to the problem, increasing back taxes, interest and penalties and can create further complications.
IRS audits range from simple to complex. Either way, the risks can be significant, and they require the knowledge to navigate IRS procedures. Our firm will represent you in an audit, so you can minimize the tax risks and move on with your life. Our audit defense team has your back.
Massey and Company provides a full range of CPA tax and accounting services, including tax representation and tax debt relief solutions. We handle offers in compromise, installment agreements (payment plans), currently non collectible status, liens, levies, wage garnishments and appeals. We have deep experience with the IRS Statute of Limitations, which is a requirement for IRS negotiation.
We also have significant experience with sales tax audits.
We negotiate for you, so you don’t have to.
Payroll Tax Problems
You have a successful small business, but your cash flow dips from time to time, and the payroll tax deposit isn’t made on time. Perhaps you were caught up in other matters and skipped your quarterly payroll tax returns.
Regardless of the cause, you’re behind on your payroll tax filings and payments. You might think you’re temporarily borrowing money from the IRS while your business recovers, but the government doesn’t see it that way.
The IRS wants its payroll taxes and they will go after you for late payments and missing payroll tax returns. Late payroll tax payments are taken more seriously than any other tax issue by the IRS.
Our team of CPAs, Enrolled Agents and tax accountants will resolve your small business tax problems, including payroll tax issues. We are more experienced than most CPA firms in this complex area of tax law.
