Tax Resolution

When the IRS Turns Up the Heat… You Need a Professional, Not a Pitchman

Let’s cut to the chase.

When you’re facing IRS problems, you can either bury your head in the sand or you can work with one of the most trusted CPA firms in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Your move.

Ignoring their letters or hoping it “goes away” only makes things worse.

At the Neal Group, our tax resolution team has helped individuals and business owners sleep again by navigating IRS issues with precision, strategy, and decades of hard-earned experience. When the government is knocking, you don’t need a call center “closer” or a national sales machine. You need a licensed professional who knows the IRS, speaks their language, and has your back.

“For years, I’ve represented clients before the IRS. When we work with you, you’re dealing with real professionals … not commissioned salespeople reading a script.”

Why People Come to Us

Most clients aren’t just looking for someone to “deal” with the IRS. They want:

  • A professional they can trust
  • Straight answers without scare tactics
  • A plan that gets them out of the mess
  • An advocate who will handle the heavy lifting
  • Peace of mind and a path forward

Unfiled returns, wage garnishments, levies, liens, threats of asset seizure – we’ve seen it all. And we know how to fix it.

Below are the core IRS problems we help resolve. If you see your situation here (or fear it’s heading that way), contact us immediately.

 

Our Tax Resolution Services

Asset & IRS Seizure Protection
Is the IRS threatening to take your home, car, or retirement accounts?

Long-standing tax debt can put everything you’ve worked a lifetime for at risk — often seized at far below market value.

Homes, vehicles, jewelry, collectibles, and even retirement accounts can all be targeted.

If you’re facing an upcoming seizure, we step in fast to protect your assets and represent you in a Collection Due Process Hearing, which can dramatically change the outcome and stop the IRS from moving forward.

IRS Levy Protection
Woke up to an empty bank account? Garnished paycheck? Assets missing?

The IRS doesn’t wait. When they want their money, they take it – quickly and without sympathy.

We can often get levies released, negotiate manageable arrangements, and help you regain control of your finances.

When You Can’t Pay What’s Owed
If paying your full tax balance isn’t possible, you still have options.

We help negotiate partial payments and installment agreements with the IRS so you can pay what you can over time while avoiding more aggressive collection actions.

Our team works directly with the IRS to put a manageable plan in place and help you move forward with less stress.

IRS Lien Safeguards
Tax liens wreck credit, block loans, and give the IRS first claim on almost everything you sell.

If you have a lien (or suspect one is coming), we’ll help you understand your options for:

• Lien removal
• Lien subordination
• Lien withdrawal
• Payment plans or resolution strategies

A lien doesn’t have to be a life sentence but ignoring it makes it worse.

Wage Garnishment Protection
When the IRS garnishes your paycheck, your employer can’t stop it, we can help.

The IRS must follow strict guidelines, and if your situation qualifies as “economic hardship,” the garnishment can be stopped. We negotiate:

• Garnishment releases
• Affordable payment plans
• A realistic path toward resolving the debt

This helps you keep more of your paycheck while moving forward responsibly.

Bankruptcy Evaluation
Bankruptcy isn’t a failure… sometimes it’s a financial reset.

But not all tax debt is dischargeable. Before you file, let us analyze whether:

• Bankruptcy will eliminate your tax debt, or
• It will still leave you with significant liability

The right strategy can mean a clean slate. The wrong one can haunt you for years.

Innocent Spouse Relief
You shouldn’t pay for a spouse or former spouse’s missteps, especially if you didn’t know about them.

If your joint return includes fraud or errors caused by them (not you), you may qualify for relief. But it requires proper documentation and careful presentation.

We help you determine eligibility and file for Innocent Spouse Relief, so you’re not held responsible for someone else’s mistakes.

Offers in Compromise
Settle your tax debt for less, sometimes far less.

The IRS Offer in Compromise program allows qualifying taxpayers to sometimes settle for considerably less than what’s owed.

Not everyone qualifies. But when it’s the right fit, it’s a game-changer.

We evaluate your situation, prepare the documentation, and negotiate with the IRS for the best possible outcome.

Payroll Tax Protection
Falling behind on payroll taxes is one of the fastest ways to trigger aggressive IRS action.

Penalties are severe. The IRS considers unpaid payroll taxes as “stolen money” and they pursue it relentlessly.

We help business owners:

• Understand their exposure
• Respond correctly to IRS notices
• Avoid business-ending consequences
• Protect their assets and livelihood
• Stay out of prison

This is one area where you absolutely want a professional on your side.

Unfiled Tax Return Completion
Not filing your returns is a criminal offense and the IRS computer system is getting smarter every year.

If you voluntarily file before the IRS prepares a return for you, you keep your deductions and reduce the damage.

We help clients:

• Prepare all unfiled returns required
• Get and stay compliant with the law
• Minimize penalties
• Create a plan to resolve remaining liabilities

Acting now is always better than waiting for the IRS to act first.

Tax problems feel overwhelming because they are.

You don’t have to face the IRS alone.
With the right advocate in your corner, you can get your life back.

Whether it’s a simple filing issue or a full-blown crisis, our team works discreetly, professionally, and aggressively on your behalf.
