How can a CPA assist with IRS tax notices and audits?

As a licensed CPA authorized to practice before the IRS under Circular 230, Total Tax Solutions provides professional audit representation. We review IRS notices, manage communications, organize documentation, and defend your rights directly with IRS revenue agents and appeals officers.

Who qualifies for an IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC)?

An Offer in Compromise allows eligible taxpayers with proven financial hardship to resolve their tax liability for less than the full amount. Eligibility depends strictly on IRS formula calculations involving equity in assets and reasonable collection potential. Total Tax Solutions performs a comprehensive financial analysis to determine if an OIC is viable before submitting an application.

What steps can stop IRS bank levies or wage garnishments?

To release an active IRS levy or wage garnishment, all delinquent tax returns must generally be brought into compliance. We work directly with IRS collections to negotiate relief alternatives, such as Installment Agreements, Partial Payment Plans, or Currently Not Collectible (CNC) hardship status.

Can IRS penalties and interest be reduced or eliminated?

Taxpayers may qualify for penalty abatement under IRS First-Time Abate administrative waivers or by demonstrating Reasonable Cause (such as serious illness, natural disasters, or unavoidable hardship). While statutory interest cannot be waived by law, reducing the underlying penalty or tax balance automatically lowers associated interest.

What should I do if I have unfiled back tax returns?

Filing delinquent returns is the required first step to resolving any tax controversy. Total Tax Solutions reconstructs past records using IRS wage and income transcripts, prepares accurate back returns, and establishes an IRS-compliant resolution strategy.

About Total Tax Solutions

We’ve Been There and We Know How Hard It Is

Most taxpayers in Margate facing IRS disputes never intended to fall behind. An unexpected economic downturn, medical challenges, or an IRS document matching mistake led to unfiled returns or unpaid balances.

Your tax problems are not insurmountable, and you are not alone. Our goal is to lift that burden by providing clear, legal, statutory resolution strategies tailored to your financial reality.
