Questions
The things people are nervous to ask
Still unsure? The consultation is free and there's no obligation.
Am I going to jail?
Almost certainly not. Owing taxes you can't pay is not a crime. Criminal cases involve deliberate fraud, and they're rare. For nearly everyone who comes to us, the fix is paperwork and a plan, not a lawyer.
I've ignored this for years. Is it too late?
No. It's more common than you'd think, and the IRS deals with it every day. The longer you wait the more interest and penalties pile up, so today really is the best day to start.
Is Dedicated Tax Relief legit?
Yes. Our team is made up of licensed CPAs and Enrolled Agents, who are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. You can look up any Enrolled Agent or CPA in the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers. We'll never ask you to pay the IRS through us, and we never promise a result before reviewing your records.
What if you can't help me?
We'll tell you during the free consultation, before you pay anything. If there's no realistic way to improve your situation, we'll say so plainly and point you to anything you can do on your own.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. You only pay for work already completed, as spelled out in your written agreement. No long-term contracts.
How much does tax resolution cost?
It depends on the work involved. After your free consultation we quote a flat fee in writing, so you know the total before anything starts.
Can you stop a wage garnishment or bank levy?
Usually, yes. Once we represent you, we can request a collection hold and work toward a levy release, typically by setting up an agreement the IRS accepts.
Will the IRS forgive my tax debt?
Sometimes, through an Offer in Compromise, but only if you qualify based on your income, expenses, and assets. We'll tell you honestly whether it's realistic. Many clients are better served by a payment plan or penalty relief.
Do I have to talk to the IRS myself?
No. With a signed Form 2848, we speak with the IRS on your behalf and handle the letters and calls.
How long does it take?
A collection hold or payment plan can take a few weeks. An Offer in Compromise often takes 6 to 12 months. We give you a realistic timeline at the start.
The IRS isn't going away. Neither are we.
The sooner you start, the more options you have. It takes 60 seconds online, from wherever you are.
