Before we resolve your tax debt, we need to understand it completely. Unlike generic tax firms that rush to pitch solutions, we begin with a structured Tax Discovery Process. It's the foundation for any IRS or Louisiana Department of Revenue case we take on. We require full discovery before taking action because every case is different—and outcomes depend on what we uncover.
In some rare cases, tax debts can be wiped out due to expiration, identity errors, or even bankruptcy eligibility. But in most cases, resolution involves negotiation, documentation, and proof which can only be achieved once the facts are laid out in full.
Discovery ensures you’re not misled about your options, you're protected from future enforcement surprises, and you save money, time, and unnecessary stress.
Below are the first areas we assess to build a complete, strategic picture of your tax situation and prevents surprises down the road...
The Tax Itself
How much is owed
Type of tax (income, payroll, etc.)
Taxing authority (IRS, State of Louisiana, or local)
The Timeline
What tax years are involved
Principal vs. penalties and interest
Which years require returns to be filed or amended
Financial Position
Income and expenses
Assets and liabilities
Household size and economic hardship factors
We charge a flat fee for discovery, which includes transcript analysis, solvency evaluation, and a compliance overview.
It’s your roadmap to clarity and it’s what separates us from companies that throw out empty guarantees.
To keep things moving, most clients will be asked to provide:
- Prior year tax returns (if available)
- Proof of income (W-2s, 1099s, business revenue)
- Bank statements or other financial data
- Identification and authorization forms
We make the process easy and the sooner we receive documentation, the faster we can act.
The IRS is aggressive, but also cooperative if they know a resolution is in progress. Once we notify them that you’ve retained representation, we typically can:
✅ Stop wage garnishments
✅ Halt levies or seizures
✅ Pause collection activity
✅ Prevent additional penalties
While every case is unique and collections cannot be guaranteed to stop in 100% of scenarios, we’ve been successful in pausing IRS action in the vast majority of client cases.
When tax problems arise, trying to handle them alone usually costs more and leads to worse outcomes. Schedule Your Free Consultation Today to Protect Your Paycheck, Your Business, and Your Peace of Mind.
