Personal resolution tailored to you
The IRS offers several options to reduce, repay, or even settle back tax liabilities, but navigating these processes alone can be overwhelming. Without proper representation, hardworking Americans often feel pressured into large payments that primarily benefit the IRS collection division. That’s where we come in. With years of experience handling unique cases, our professionals work to negotiate a resolution tailored specifically to your situation. Tax resolution doesn’t have to be intimidating—let us guide you toward a compliant path with confidence and peace of mind.
Professional and Honest Service
Big national tax firms often use enticing phrases like the IRS 'Fresh Start Program' or 'Settle for pennies on the dollar' to attract taxpayers who feel cornered by their tax burdens. These firms frequently rely on vague sales tactics and may lack Circular 230 practitioners—professionals authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Worse, you might not even work with the same representative you consulted initially. At Bowtie Tax Guy, we take a different approach. With firsthand experience in how these firms operate, we reject those practices. From the start, you’ll speak with a qualified professional who values your time and is committed to finding the best solution for your unique situation

Facing IRS notices can be overwhelming, but not every letter signals aggressive action. The IRS typically sends a series of five notices, spaced 30 days apart, though only one may require a response. Many are just reminders. Bring your notices to your consultation, and we’ll assess the urgency and guide you toward the right solution.

The IRS Collection Cycle & Notices
When a tax liability arises, your case typically begins with the Automated Collection System (ACS), the IRS department responsible for sending most notices. However, if your liability is deemed 'seriously delinquent,' ACS may escalate your case to a Revenue Officer, the IRS's top-tier collection specialist. Revenue Officers can even visit your home or business in certain situations.
If you disagree with an IRS decision, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights allows you to bring your case to the Independent Office of Appeals. This ensures a fresh perspective, offering the chance for a fair resolution outside the standard collection process.
Hardship Statuses

Hardship Statuses
The IRS has many options for eligible applicants to satisfy their tax liabilities. Please see below:
Offer In Compromise:
This option summarizes your total income, assets, future income, and expenses to determine the amount you can reasonably offer to the IRS to settle your liability
Currently Non-Collectible:
This option is a temporary status. The IRS will review this status annually for any change in income
Partial payment Installment Agreement:
This option is also a temporary status. The IRS will allow you to essentially pay what you can afford based upon your current financial standing.
