Who it is for

Who needs tax resolution help?

Tax resolution is for anyone who owes back taxes, has received an IRS or state notice, or is facing an audit. Noble Pacific Tax Group reviews your situation and works with the IRS or state for you to set up a payment plan or reduce what you owe.

You may need tax resolution if:

  • You owe the IRS or state more than you can pay right now.
  • You received an audit letter or a notice about a tax lien or levy.
  • You have unfiled tax returns from past years.
  • Penalties and interest keep growing and you want someone to deal with the IRS for you.

Tax resolution FAQs

Q1Can the IRS reduce what I owe?

In some cases, yes. Options include penalty abatement and an offer in compromise. Results depend on your income, assets, and tax history, and we tell you what is realistic before we start.

Q2What is an IRS payment plan?

An installment agreement lets you pay your tax debt in monthly payments. We set it up with the IRS or state for you.

Q3Do I have to talk to the IRS myself?

No. Once you sign a power of attorney, we speak with the IRS or state for you.

Q4What if I have not filed taxes in years?

We file your missing returns, which is often the first step to resolving tax debt and stopping further penalties.

Q5How do I stay out of tax trouble after my case is resolved?

Our Tax Preparation and Tax Advisory services help you file on time and plan ahead.

Q6What is an IRS tax resolution company?

An IRS tax resolution company, like Noble Pacific® Tax Resolution, is a professional firm that specializes in resolving individual and business tax problems with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and/or state tax agencies.

Q7How can an IRS tax resolution company help me with my tax problems?

At Noble Pacific® Tax Resolution we are experts in dealing with the IRS and state agencies to negotiate settlements, establish payment plans, reduce penalties, and represent you in communications with the IRS and the state(s).

Q8What types of tax challenges can Noble Pacific Tax Resolution assist with and/or resolve?

We can assist and resolve a wide range of income tax and payroll tax problems, including back taxes, tax liens, delinquent tax returns, wage garnishments, bank levies, asset seizure, revocation or denial of passports due to unpaid taxes, audits, penalty abatement, and unfiled tax returns.

Q9Can I handle this on my own?

While individuals with a small IRS debt might secure payment plans or alternative resolutions, many discover that negotiating the most favorable deal is a challenging feat. The IRS isn’t particularly cooperative with individuals and can present formidable challenges. At Noble Pacific® Tax Resolution, we possess the necessary tools, experience, and direct access to the IRS and states to secure the optimal outcome for our clients.

Q10How do I choose the right IRS tax resolution company for my situation?

When choosing an IRS tax resolution company like Noble Pacific® Tax Resolution, consider factors such as their experience, integrity, testimonials, and credentials (they must be enrolled to practice before the IRS like an Enrolled Agent (EA), or be a United States Tax Court Practitioner (USTCP) or attorney to represent taxpayers in Tax Court). It’s also wise to be wary of any resolution firm that offers to file an Offer in Compromise before analyzing your transcripts and finances to determine if you qualify. An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a desirable resolution but there are strict requirements to qualify. At NPTR, we will not take your money to file for an OIC unless we are confident it will be accepted.

Q11How soon should I decide to work with Noble Pacific Tax Resolution?

Deciding to move forward and resolve your tax issues is a big decision, and many people may have reservations. While the choice to move forward is yours, it is important to understand that in general the longer you wait, the worse the problem becomes, the more difficult it will be to resolve your tax debt, and the more likely it is for the IRS or state to take direct action against you.

Q12My wages are currently garnished, and my bank accounts are levied. How soon can you intervene?

As with any case, we leap into action the moment we are retained. We want to be on the phone with the IRS that day or within 24 hours. If your wages are being garnished or your bank accounts are being levied, you must contact our office immediately so that we can stop the actions the IRS or state have taken against you before it’s too late. If they haven’t started this process yet, now is the best time for us to get on the phone with them.

Q13Will Noble Pacific Tax Resolution negotiate with the IRS on my behalf?

Yes, when we are your representative: 1) we step into your shoes to negotiate with the IRS on your behalf, 2) the IRS should not contact you, 3) if they do contact you, we instruct our clients to inform them they have representation and to provide them with our contact information and tell them to call us, 4) We do not want our clients to ever speak with the IRS, and we have a 100% success rate with preventing the IRS from speaking with our clients, and 5) We will communicate with them, handle paperwork, and find the best resolution to your tax problem.

Q14Can an IRS tax resolution company help me settle my tax debt for less than what I owe?

It depends on your situation. Noble Pacific® Tax Resolution will negotiate for you to pay less than you owe, sometimes much less. However, to qualify, we must demonstrate that your income is not enough to pay your allowable expenses and your tax debt by the statute date. In many cases, we employ legal strategies to help our clients qualify for the best option. Examples of resolution options like this include: 1) Partial Pay Installment Agreements, 2) Offers in Compromise (OIC), and 3) Currently Not Collectible status and letting the collection statute expire.

Q15How long does it typically take for an IRS tax resolution company to resolve tax problems?

The time it takes to resolve tax problems depends on the complexity of the case, the cooperation of the IRS, and the specific resolution strategy. It can range from a few weeks to several months or even longer.
