Tax Debt Attorney

Not everyone needs a tax attorney. However, in many situations, having one can make the process much smoother and less stressful.

You may benefit from working with a tax attorney if:

• You owe a significant amount of tax debt
• The IRS is threatening or taking collection action (like levies or liens)
• You’re considering options like an Offer in Compromise or Innocent Spouse Relief
• You want someone to handle communications with the IRS or state for you

A tax attorney can review your account to confirm what you actually owe, explain your options in plain English, and negotiate directly with the IRS or state on your behalf.

If you’re unsure whether you need help, a consultation is a good place to start. The tax attorneys at Andrin can review your situation and give you an honest assessment of what level of support makes sense for you.

Don’t ignore it, but don’t panic either.

Tax notices can mean different things, from simple requests for information to serious collection actions.

We can help by:

• Reviewing the notice
• Explaining what it means in plain English
• Responding on your behalf
• Identifying the best resolution strategy

Ignoring notices can lead to added penalties and interest, tax liens, or levies. The earlier you address the issue, the more options you typically have available.

A tax lien is a legal claim the IRS or state places on your property when you owe taxes. It doesn’t mean anything has been taken yet, but it does:

• Attach to your assets (like your home or other property)
• Impact your credit and financial standing
• Secure the government’s interest in what you own

A tax levy, on the other hand, is when the IRS or state actually takes action to collect the debt. This can include:

• Garnishing your wages
• Freezing or taking money from your bank account
• Seizing certain assets

The IRS must send notices before taking collection action like wage garnishments or bank levies. If you’ve received a notice about either, it’s important to act quickly to explore your options and potentially prevent enforcement.

In many cases, we can request holds on collections or prevent further enforcement while we work on your case.

The exact outcome depends on your situation and where you are in the process.

Yes. Once authorized to represent you, tax attorneys can communicate directly with the IRS or state agency on your behalf, so you don’t have to deal with them yourself.

Sometimes the IRS makes mistakes or bases their amount on inaccurate information.

A tax attorney will review your IRS and state tax records (transcripts, filings, notices) to:

• Confirm the amount is correct
• Identify missing or unfiled returns
• Catch errors or duplicate assessments
• Determine if penalties can be reduced

Before you pay anything, it’s important to make sure the balance is right.

You still have options.

The IRS and state agencies offer several relief programs depending on your financial situation. Common options include:

• Installment Agreements: Monthly payment plans
• Offer in Compromise: Settling your debt for less than you owe
• Currently Not Collectible status: Temporary pause on collections

The team at Andrin Tax Relief will evaluate your situation and help determine the best path forward.

Yes. We assist with both IRS (federal) and state tax matters, including balance due notices, payment plans, and dispute resolution.

Andrin’s head tax attorney is based in Michigan, and our main office is located in Illinois. Because services are offered virtually, we regularly work with clients nationwide.

The cost depends on the complexity of your case and the type of resolution work needed.

For example, responding to a single notice is very different from negotiating an Offer in Compromise or handling multiple years of tax issues.

During your consultation, we’ll review your situation and provide clear, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect and there are no surprises.

I offer virtual consultations by phone or video, so you can meet from the comfort of your home, no matter where you’re located.

During your consultation, we will:

• Review your current tax situation
• Discuss any IRS or state notices you’ve received
• Go over your potential resolution options
• Outline next steps tailored to your case

It helps to have recent tax notices and basic financial information handy, but don’t worry if you don’t have everything. Part of the process is helping you gather what’s needed.
