Our Step by Step Process
Initial Consultation
Our Discovery Interview is a brief, confidential phone consultation designed to understand your specific tax situation, determine your eligibility for relief programs, and outline the best path forward. This essential first step allows us to assess how we can help and ensure you're matched with the right solution from the start.
Resolution Process
After your Initial Consultation, we immediately initiate client protection to help halt any ongoing or potential IRS actions. Our team then establishes direct communication with the IRS on your behalf, ensuring that all future contact goes through us. From there, we conduct a thorough review of your case to identify the best resolution strategies tailored to your specific situation.
Document Review & IRS Filing
At this stage, we conduct a detailed review of all documents and financial information provided to ensure everything is accurate, complete, and ready for submission. We carefully complete all required IRS forms, verify compliance with IRS guidelines, and prepare your case for official filing. This critical step ensures that your resolution request is properly documented and positioned for the best possible outcome. Our team works closely with you throughout this phase to answer any questions and make sure your file is submission-ready for the IRS.
Final Resolution & Case Acceptance
Once your case has been reviewed and accepted by the IRS, you officially move into the final stage of the resolution process. At this point, the IRS has acknowledged your file and we focus on finalizing the terms of your resolution. Whether it involves negotiating a settlement, setting up a payment plan, or securing a full compliance closure, we work to ensure the agreed outcome is implemented properly. We stay in close communication with you during this step to guide you through to full resolution and provide clear instructions for maintaining compliance moving forward.
Real Results. Real Relief.
Here’s what tax relief can look like when you have the right team on your side:
* A total of $92,000 in IRS debt reduced to just $3,500 through an Offer in Compromise.
* Another had a wage garnishment stopped within 48 hours of signing up.
* We’ve also helped clients settle years of back taxes including cases from 2016 to 2021 with affordable monthly payment plans.
* In many instances, we’ve successfully had IRS liens lifted and business bank accounts unfrozen.
* Every case is unique, and while results may vary, our goal is always the same: to fight for the best possible outcome for our clients.

IRS Fresh Start
The IRS Fresh Start Program was created to make it easier for taxpayers to get back on track by offering more flexible and manageable options for resolving tax debt. At TaxShield, we specialize in helping individuals and businesses take full advantage of this opportunity.
Our team works closely with you to evaluate your financial situation and determine which part of the Fresh Start Program you're eligible for whether it’s an Offer in Compromise (settling your debt for less than you owe), an Installment Agreement (setting up affordable monthly payments), or requesting penalty abatement to reduce what you owe.
Once we determine the best path forward, we handle the entire process from gathering documentation and filing paperwork to negotiating directly with the IRS on your behalf. We also ensure you're in full compliance so your application has the best chance of approval.
At TaxShield, our goal is simple: to help you resolve your tax debt, avoid IRS collections, and start fresh with confidence.
Offer in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is one of the most powerful tools the IRS offers for resolving tax debt. It allows qualified taxpayers to settle their full tax liability for less than the total amount owed sometimes significantly less.
At TaxShield, we help you determine if you qualify, prepare a compelling case, and handle the entire submission process from start to finish. The IRS only approves offers that meet strict financial criteria, and that’s where our expertise makes all the difference.
We’ll analyze your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities to build a detailed financial profile that supports your request for relief. We also handle all communication and negotiation with the IRS, working to reduce your tax burden and get your case closed for good.
If approved, an Offer in Compromise can give you a fresh start without the crushing weight of long-term tax debt. Let TaxShield guide you through the process and fight for the resolution you deserve.
Penalty Abatement
IRS penalties can quickly add thousands of dollars to your tax bill often making it harder to catch up and resolve your debt. The good news? The IRS offers Penalty Abatement, which allows qualifying taxpayers to have certain penalties reduced or completely removed.
At TaxShield, we help you take full advantage of this opportunity by reviewing your tax history, identifying eligible penalties, and submitting a formal request backed by the right documentation and strategy.
Whether you’ve faced unexpected financial hardship, a serious illness, or another reasonable cause for falling behind, we build a strong case that demonstrates why you deserve relief. In many cases, we also help clients receive a First-Time Penalty Abatement, available to those with a clean compliance record.
Our experienced team handles all the communication with the IRS so you don’t have to and works to lower your overall tax debt, reduce stress, and speed up your path to financial stability.
If you’ve been hit with IRS penalties, TaxShield is here to fight for the relief you’re entitled to.
Wage Garnishment Removal
If the IRS is garnishing your wages, you’re already feeling the pressure — your paycheck is being reduced before you even see it, making it hard to keep up with everyday expenses. At TaxShield, we move fast to stop wage garnishment and protect your income.
Wage garnishment happens when the IRS takes legal action to collect unpaid tax debt directly from your employer. But you have rights — and with the right representation, you can stop the garnishment and find a better resolution.
Our team immediately contacts the IRS on your behalf, negotiates to pause collections, and begins building a case to resolve your tax debt through options like Installment Agreements, Offers in Compromise, or Hardship Status. In many cases, we can get garnishments lifted quickly, giving you the breathing room you need to regain control.
At TaxShield, our goal is simple: stop the wage garnishment, protect your financial well-being, and help you move forward with confidence.
Bank Levy Release
An IRS bank levy is one of the most aggressive collection actions the IRS can take freezing your bank account and seizing funds to satisfy a tax debt. At TaxShield, we act quickly to get levies released and protect what’s yours.
When you contact us, our team steps in immediately to communicate with the IRS and begin the process of having your bank account unfrozen. We work to stop the levy, prevent future seizures, and put a long-term resolution plan in place whether that’s an Installment Agreement, Offer in Compromise, or another form of tax relief.
Time is critical with a bank levy, and the faster we act, the better your chances of recovering your funds. At TaxShield, we handle all the paperwork and negotiations with the IRS, so you don’t have to face it alone.
If your bank account has been levied, reach out now we’ll help you get your money back and resolve the debt before it happens again.
Delinquent Tax Return Filings
If you’ve fallen behind on filing your tax returns, you’re not alone and you’re not out of options. At TaxShield, we help individuals and businesses catch up on delinquent tax returns quickly and accurately, while minimizing penalties and avoiding IRS enforcement actions.
Unfiled returns can lead to mounting penalties, lost refunds, and even collection actions like wage garnishments or bank levies. The IRS may also file a Substitute for Return (SFR) on your behalf often overestimating your liability without any of the deductions or credits you're entitled to.
That’s where we come in. Our team will review your filing history, request transcripts from the IRS, and prepare accurate returns to reflect your true tax situation. We also help you resolve any resulting tax balances with affordable payment plans or other relief options.
At TaxShield, we make the process simple and stress-free so you can move forward in compliance, reduce your risk, and take control of your financial future.
Audit Representation
Receiving notice of an IRS audit can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to face it alone. At TaxShield, we provide experienced and strategic audit representation to help protect your rights and minimize your exposure.
IRS audits can be triggered by a variety of issues, from unfiled returns to red flags on income or deductions. Whether you're an individual or a business, our team steps in as your authorized representative, managing all communication with the IRS so you don’t have to.
We thoroughly review your tax filings, prepare supporting documentation, and build a strong case to defend your position. Throughout the audit process, our priority is to reduce potential liabilities, avoid penalties, and bring your case to a fair resolution.
With TaxShield on your side, you gain trusted support, peace of mind, and the best chance at a successful outcome.

Running a business is challenging enough without the added stress of IRS tax issues. At TaxShield, we provide dedicated Business Tax Help to assist companies of all sizes with resolving tax debt, filing back returns, handling payroll tax problems, and maintaining compliance so you can stay focused on growing your business.
From unpaid payroll taxes and 941 issues to unfiled business returns or audits, our team works directly with the IRS on your behalf to stop aggressive collection actions and find the most strategic resolution possible. We evaluate your financials, communicate with tax authorities, and negotiate manageable repayment or settlement plans that protect your assets and operations.
