The phrase “tax resolution” has been made popular by an onslaught of advertising and marketing tactics. It is used by companies who generally prey on individuals that owe back taxes. Unfortunately, now that the phrase has been made popular, it’s how people search online for help. They look for the phrase “tax resolution.” And when they’re in the Fairfax area and want to deal with a local company they use the term “Fairfax Tax Resolution.” Selectively, they can go in, bring their IRS letters, their previous tax filings and get some face-to-face help in sorting it all out.

At Business & Financial Solutions, we urge you to be careful of “tax resolution” firms. An article in Forbes says it best “Tax Resolution Scams 101.” Business & Financial Solutions is not a tax resolution firm, but an accounting firm.

In addition, many tax resolution firms have become masters at using the internet to portray themselves as local. They create a website for each city they target. Just Google “Fairfax Tax Resolution.” You’ll see some of the same results when you search “Seattle Tax Resolution” or “Indianapolis Tax Resolution.”

We found one firm that uses the same website template for 10 different cities, except they add the phrase Fairfax, Indianapolis, Seattle, Houston, etc…, use a local address and add pictures of the city they’re targeting.  So the picture of the Fairfax Tax Resolution Team is the same picture as the Seattle Tax Resolution Team, the Houston Tax Resolution Team, and so on.  The team is made up of five people – the President, a Tax Attorney, an Enrolled Agent, a Senior Accountant and a Case Manager, they must be doing A LOT of traveling if they’re the local team across all 10 cities.

We have an office in Fairfax County. We help individuals to resolve their IRS back taxes and tax issues. And we simply urge you to be careful when dealing with any “Tax Resolution Firms.”  Call our office at 855-557-2222 or fill out the contact us form on this our site to set up a free consultation and let us start working with you to resolve your IRS back taxes. Assisting clients with their tax problems is just one of the many services that we provide. Those problems may consist of audits, or they consist of unfiled taxes. The solution for one client may be entirely different than the one for another.

Lastly, nothing strikes fear in the hearts of people more than receiving an IRS Audit letter in the mail. Know your rights as an individual, or as a business. Audits take significant time away from your business and family. They require you to gather mounds of records substantiating each and every item reported on your tax return. They also require a comprehensive understanding of tax law.

The IRS leaves no stone unturned in its mission to determine the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS will recalculate your tax and send you home with a hefty tax bill as your parting gift, If you don’t comply with the Auditors’ wishes.

Many taxpayers decide to handle a tax audit themselves, and discover they may have been “penny wise,” avoiding a representative’s fee, but “pound foolish,” because they received a substantial bill for a significant tax deficiency.

You see, IRS auditors are trained to extract more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. IRS Auditors know that most people fear them and are ignorant of their rights. They also know that they can use that fear and ignorance to their advantage.

The IRS rarely talks with our clients during an audit. We handle it all for you.  So you need not take time off of your business or job to handle the bureaucracy and paperwork of the IRS. No lost wages or business. You simply forward notification of an audit to us and we handle it from A to Z. Proper representation for an audit may eliminate the need for a tax resolution.
