Face the IRS with an expert in your corner through tax resolution and IRS representation in Reno, NV from JR Clausen CPAs. As Tax Rep Network Gold Members, we handle the audits, notices, and back taxes so you don’t have to.
Tax resolution is the work of settling disputes and debts with the IRS or your state. Representation means a licensed CPA deals with the IRS directly on your behalf. Reno individuals and business owners come to us when a notice, audit, or back-tax problem lands in their lap.
The right representation changes everything. It stops the enforcement clock, protects your income and assets, and takes the stress off your shoulders. With our team, the person negotiating with the IRS is the person who knows your case.
Tax problems rarely fix themselves, and they grow with time. The sooner you act, the more options you have. These signs mean it’s time to call us.
A letter from the IRS is never something to ignore. Notices escalate fast when they go unanswered. Each stage adds penalties, interest, and pressure. We respond right away and take over the conversation.
Missing one or more years of returns puts you at real risk. The IRS can file for you, and never in your favor. Getting current is the first step back to safe ground. We prepare and file your past-due returns correctly.
A tax debt you can’t pay in full feels overwhelming. Left alone, it invites liens, levies, and garnishments. But real settlement options exist for most people. We negotiate terms you can actually live with.
A lien on your property or a levy on your wages demands fast action. These tools can drain your finances quickly. Often we can request a release once we represent you. We move to protect your income and assets right away.
There is no single fix for a tax problem. The right path depends on what you owe and what you can pay. Here are the main resolution options we use.
An Offer in Compromise settles your debt for less than the full amount. It fits people who genuinely cannot pay what they owe. The IRS reviews your income, assets, and expenses closely. We build a strong, well-documented case for approval.
An installment agreement lets you pay your debt over time in fixed amounts. It works when you can pay eventually but not all at once. The terms depend on your balance and finances. We negotiate a plan that fits your budget.
The IRS may remove penalties if you had reasonable cause. First-time offenders often qualify for relief too. This can cut a balance meaningfully. We identify and request every abatement you’re owed.
A lien or levy can freeze your finances fast. Once we’re authorized to represent you, we contact the IRS to request release. Then we negotiate the underlying debt. We work to lift the pressure quickly.
Let's get your finances clear with expert CPA guidance.
We follow a clear four-step process that gets the IRS off your back and settles the debt.
We pull your IRS records and file authorization to represent you. From that point, the IRS talks to us, not you.
We file any past-due returns and correct the record. Compliance is required before any settlement.
We build your case and negotiate the best available terms. You get an outcome you can actually manage.
We finalize the agreement and confirm the IRS releases any holds. You put the problem behind you for good.
