What Is Tax Resolution?
Tax resolution is the process of legally addressing and resolving outstanding tax liabilities or disputes with the IRS or state tax agencies. This can involve negotiations, settlements, structural changes to your repayment, and legal advocacy to reduce penalties or interest.
A tax resolution lawyer helps you explore options such as:
- Tax debt resolution — strategies for eliminating or reducing tax balances
- Offers in Compromise — settling tax debt for less than what you owe
- Installment agreements — structured payment plans
- Penalty abatement — reduction or removal of IRS penalties
- Audit defense — protection against adverse audit findings
Our IRS tax resolution attorneys will work closely with you to determine the best course of action based on your personal or business tax profile.
Why Indiana Taxpayers Need Assistance with Tax Resolution

- Missed tax filings or late returns
- Underreported income from seasonal or freelance work
- Small business tax obligations and errors in estimated payments
- Audits that result in additional tax assessments
- Penalties and interest that outpace original tax liabilities
When left unresolved, tax debt can lead to enforcement actions like wage garnishment, bank levies, federal tax liens, or even legal penalties. An experienced IRS tax resolution firm guides you through these challenges and works to minimize the long‑term effect on your financial health.

How Our Indiana Tax Resolution Lawyers Help
Our legal team provides comprehensive tax resolution services, including:
Assessment and Strategy Planning
We begin by analyzing your tax transcripts, notices, and past filings to understand your tax liability and resolution options.
Negotiations with IRS and State Authorities
As experienced tax resolution attorneys, we communicate with the IRS and the Indiana Department of Revenue on your behalf to secure a favorable outcome.
Offer in Compromise Preparation
If you qualify, an Offer in Compromise can significantly reduce what you owe. Our attorneys will prepare and submit your proposal and represent you throughout the negotiation process.
Installment Agreements
When you can’t pay in full, we will negotiate an installment agreement with the IRS that reflects your ability to pay.
Penalty and Interest Relief
Penalties and interest often drive tax balances higher. We can pursue penalty abatement when reasonable cause exists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tax resolution attorney do?
A tax resolution attorney evaluates your tax situation, identifies the best legal options for resolving debt, negotiates with the IRS or state authorities, and represents you through audits, settlements, and enforcement actions.
How is tax debt resolved with the IRS?
Tax debt can be resolved through negotiation of an Offer in Compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatements, or other IRS programs. Your tax debt resolution lawyer will determine which options fit your case and execute the most effective approach.
Can I settle tax debt for less than what I owe?
Yes. Under certain conditions, the IRS may accept a lesser amount through an Offer in Compromise. A tax settlement attorney can prepare and negotiate the settlement on your behalf.
How long does tax resolution take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, financial disclosures, IRS review time, and negotiation cycles. Some resolutions can take several months, while contested cases or appeals can take longer.
Does tax resolution apply to state tax debt in Indiana?
Yes. Indiana tax debt can be resolved using strategies similar to those for federal tax debt. Our attorneys work with both the IRS and the Indiana Department of Revenue to pursue suitable resolutions.
Will negotiating with the IRS stop enforcement actions?
Often, yes. Once a tax resolution attorney is engaged, we can petition the IRS to suspend or halt garnishments, levies, or other collections until the matter is resolved.
