Tax Lien

A tax lien is a legal claim by the government on your property due to unpaid taxes. When a lien is placed, it can severely impact your credit, making it difficult to sell or refinance your property. Our experts at Atkins Tax Defense specialize in resolving tax liens, offering personalized strategies to help you clear your obligations and remove the lien from your record. We work closely with you to understand your financial situation and develop a plan that works best for you. Learn more about Tax Liens.

Offer in Compromise

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a program that allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. This option is particularly useful if you’re unable to pay your full tax liability or if doing so would create financial hardship. Our experienced tax professionals at Atkins Tax Defense will assess your situation, determine your eligibility, and guide you through the application process. We’ll work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome, helping you achieve financial relief. Learn more about Offer in Compromise.

Penalty Abatement

If you’ve been hit with IRS penalties, you may be eligible for penalty abatement, which can reduce or eliminate these penalties. Penalties can add up quickly, turning a manageable tax bill into an overwhelming burden. At Atkins Tax Defense, we’ll review your case to determine if you qualify for abatement based on reasonable cause, first-time penalty relief, or other criteria. Our goal is to minimize your financial burden and help you get back on track. Find out more about Penalty Abatement.

Partial Pay Installment Agreement

A Partial Pay Installment Agreement (PPIA) allows you to pay off your tax debt over time with payments that fit your budget. Unlike a traditional installment agreement, a PPIA requires you to pay only part of your tax liability over the course of the agreement. This can be an effective solution if you’re unable to pay your full debt but can commit to making regular payments. Our team will help you negotiate a PPIA with the IRS that works for you. Read more about Partial Pay Installment Agreements.

Installment Agreement

An Installment Agreement is a payment plan that allows you to pay off your tax debt over time. This option can make managing your tax obligations more feasible, especially if you’re facing financial difficulties. At Atkins Tax Defense, we’ll help you set up an Installment Agreement with the IRS that fits your financial situation, ensuring that you can pay your debt without undue stress. We’ll also guide you through maintaining compliance to avoid future penalties or interest. Discover more about Installment Agreements.

Tax Lien Discharge

A Tax Lien Discharge is a process that allows you to remove a tax lien from a specific piece of property, typically in preparation for selling or refinancing it. This can be crucial if you need to free up assets or access equity in your property. Our tax professionals will assist you in applying for a discharge, ensuring that all necessary documentation is provided and that the process goes as smoothly as possible. Learn more about Tax Lien Discharge.

Tax Lien Withdrawal

Tax Lien Withdrawal is a procedure that allows you to remove the public notice of a tax lien, which can help restore your credit and financial reputation. Unlike a discharge, which affects a specific property, a withdrawal removes the lien from your credit report, making it easier to obtain loans and other forms of credit. Our team will guide you through the withdrawal process, helping you regain your financial freedom. Find out more about Tax Lien Withdrawal.

Tax Lien Subordination

Tax Lien Subordination is a process that allows other creditors to take precedence over a tax lien. This can be beneficial if you’re looking to refinance your mortgage or obtain a loan. Subordination doesn’t remove the lien but can make it easier to manage your finances. At Atkins Tax Defense, we’ll work with you to negotiate a subordination agreement with the IRS, ensuring that your financial interests are protected. Explore more about Tax Lien Subordination.

Bank Levy Release

A Bank Levy is one of the most aggressive collection actions the IRS can take, freezing your bank accounts and seizing funds to cover your tax debt. If you’re facing a bank levy, immediate action is crucial. Our experienced tax professionals at Atkins Tax Defense can work to release the levy, protect your assets, and help you find a more manageable solution to your tax debt. Learn more about Bank Levy Release.

Wage Garnishment Release

Wage Garnishment is another severe IRS collection action, where a portion of your paycheck is automatically deducted to satisfy your tax debt. This can leave you struggling to cover your basic living expenses. At Atkins Tax Defense, we specialize in negotiating the release of wage garnishments, helping you regain control of your income and work out an alternative payment plan with the IRS. Find out more about Wage Garnishment Release.

Innocent Spouse Relief

Innocent Spouse Relief is a provision that protects you from being held responsible for your spouse’s tax debt under certain circumstances. If you filed a joint tax return and your spouse underreported income or claimed improper deductions, you may be eligible for relief. Our team will evaluate your situation, determine your eligibility, and help you apply for Innocent Spouse Relief to protect your financial future. Discover more about Innocent Spouse Relief.

Currently Non-Collectible

Currently Non-Collectible (CNC) status is an option for taxpayers who are unable to pay their tax debt due to financial hardship. When you’re granted CNC status, the IRS temporarily halts collection efforts, giving you time to improve your financial situation. At Atkins Tax Defense, we’ll help you apply for CNC status and explore other long-term solutions to resolve your tax debt. Learn more about Currently Non-Collectible status.

Collection Appeal

If you disagree with an IRS collection action, such as a lien, levy, or wage garnishment, you have the right to file a Collection Appeal. This process allows you to challenge the IRS’s decision and seek a fair resolution. Our experienced professionals at Atkins Tax Defense will guide you through the appeals process, representing your interests and working to achieve the best possible outcome.
