Options Available to Businesses

As we have outlined, every business is unique when it comes to California business tax settlements. That said, the majority of the time, there are legal options available that can help businesses reduce the amount they owe, negotiate a payment plan and avoid big penalties. These include tactics such as:

Negotiating an Offer in Compromise (OIC)
In certain situations, it is possible to prove that there is only so much you or your business can reasonably pay toward a tax debt. Often, the IRS will be willing to accept an OIC in lieu of the full payment or any lingering penalties. Our business tax experts (which include former IRS tax attorneys) can help you file and negotiate this offer.

Arranging a Payment Plan
Rather than being saddled with a lump bill that can cripple your business in the short term, we may be able to help you arrange a long-term payment option that you can manage, giving you flexibility and freedom to continue running your business and simply reallocating funds.
Investigating for Errors
Believe it or not, the IRS does make mistakes. We will help you evaluate any settlements or debt statements and determine if an IRS error has been made. We’ve helped countless clients escape hefty debts by simply uncovering mistakes in paperwork or process.
