Offer In Compromise

If you have a tax liability and you owe the IRS some money, then you may be looking for a way to find some relief from it. There are options available to you and you should explore them with an experienced tax expert in CA before you move forward with a decision. If you would like to discuss your options, call Leading Tax Group today.

Removing Penalties and Interest

Many people are afraid of the IRS and assume that there is no negotiating with them or relief from the penalties and interest they slap on you. While you may think this, there is relief offered to those taxpayers who do qualify for it, so you do not always have to fear that giant tax bill that you received.

Removing a Tax Lien

If you have been told that a tax lien has been assessed against you, it is imperative that you retain trained and aggressive counsel. The experienced tax professionals at Leading Tax Group are ready to help you and remove tax liens from your record. A tax lien is a serious matter and they are one of the last resorts that the IRS will take to collect a tax debt from you.

Innocent Spouse Relief

Many married couples do not understand that filing a joint tax return carries a lot of liability on both sides. This is because if taxes are due, both parties are liable for it, whether or not they made any income. Many couples will file a joint return because of the benefits it offers. But what happens when you are truly not liable for the taxes assessed or the penalties that are due?

Currently Non-Collectible

There may be times when the IRS comes after you and performs an audit, which leads to you owing the IRS a lot of money. If you agree with the taxes assessed against you, but you simply cannot afford those taxes, then you may be able to apply for what is called a currently non-collectible status.

Affordable Installment Agreement

If you owe the IRS money, you may not know where to turn, especially if you have been assessed a tax liability that you cannot handle or pay. Sometimes, you may owe more money than what you have on hand and in these situations, you may feel strapped. The IRS is legally able to force you to comply and pay the amount of tax you owe.
