Owing the IRS feels overwhelming, but there is almost always a path forward — and the IRS has formal programs designed for exactly this. Marion Tax Service reviews what you owe and why, gets you into compliance, and negotiates a resolution you can actually live with: an installment agreement, penalty abatement, or other relief.
First we stop the bleeding by making sure all required returns are filed (the IRS won’t negotiate until you’re current), then we deal with the balance, the penalties, and the notices directly with the IRS so you don’t have to.
What’s Included
Resolution work covers the path from notice to settled:
- Pulling your IRS account transcripts to confirm what’s actually owed
- Getting all required returns filed so you’re eligible to negotiate
- Installment agreements — monthly payment plans you can afford
- Penalty abatement — first-time and reasonable-cause requests
- Currently-not-collectible status where your situation warrants it
- Responding to IRS notices, liens, and levy threats on your behalf
- New Jersey Division of Taxation debt handled alongside the federal
Resolution starts with compliance
The IRS won’t agree to a payment plan or relief until every required return is filed. So step one is always to get you current — which is why resolution and our Prior-Year & Unfiled Returns work go hand in hand. Once you’re compliant, the real negotiation can begin.
Who It’s For
Resolution is for anyone carrying tax debt or notices:
People Who Owe Back Taxes
Anyone with an IRS or NJ balance they can’t pay in full right now.
Notice & Levy Recipients
Taxpayers facing liens, levies, or threatening IRS letters.
Businesses With Tax Debt
Companies behind on income or payroll-tax liabilities.
The Overwhelmed
People who’ve been avoiding a growing balance and want it handled.
Why Marion Tax Service
Resolution is about knowing the programs and dealing with the IRS calmly and credibly — which installment terms it will accept, when abatement is realistic, and how to stop a levy. 50+ years of experience is exactly what that takes.
You get a buffer between you and the collection notices, and a realistic plan instead of a problem that keeps growing. We’re a BBB member and we handle the federal and New Jersey sides together.
