Our tax pros have a strong track record in eliminating liens, handling audits, and stopping wage garnishments for clients facing IRS and state tax problems. Whether you’ve missed multiple years of tax filings, are facing growing back tax debt, or have received intimidating notices or an IRS notice, we’re here to provide the guidance and support you need to break free from the stress and uncertainty of tax problems. If you receive a notice from the IRS, our team will help you understand and respond promptly.

We understand that there are countless reasons why taxpayers fall behind on their taxes. Life happens—unexpected job loss, illness, family changes, or financial hardships can disrupt even the most responsible plans and impact your overall tax situation. But whatever the cause, ignoring the issue won’t make it go away. In fact, if you owe money to the IRS or your state’s Department of Revenue, it’s only a matter of time before the consequences escalate, leading to future tax problems. Lothamer’s expertise in resolving IRS and state tax issues includes handling liens, audits, and wage garnishments. Collection notices will begin to arrive, and in more serious cases, you may face wage garnishments, frozen bank accounts, or even property seizures. For many, this creates a cycle of fear and inaction that only deepens the problem. Unpaid taxes and penalties will increase your overall tax liability, and the IRS may take enforcement actions if your tax bill remains unresolved.

If your total debt is under $25,000 and you’re financially able, the IRS may allow you to set up a basic payment plan online. However, for those with larger balances and limited money, or more complex tax histories, professional representation becomes critical. Attempting to navigate the IRS alone—especially with a debt above $25,000—can be overwhelming and often leads to costly mistakes. That’s where we come in. Our tax resolution services include negotiating payment plans with the IRS to resolve outstanding taxes and managing your tax balance to avoid further penalties.

Since 1978, Lothamer has helped thousands of individuals resolve personal tax debt through customized strategies. Whether that means filing multiple years of back tax returns, pursuing penalty relief, or negotiating aggressive settlements like Offers in Compromise for tax relief, we fight to protect your income, assets, and future. When filing back tax returns, it’s important to understand what a tax return is, why it must be filed, and the filing requirements and consequences of not filing—including tax assessment, loss of refunds, and ongoing IRS enforcement. Taxpayers may be entitled to a refund if they overpaid, but must claim it within three years. We also help ensure all estimated tax payments and amounts paid are properly documented and credited. Our process includes reconstructing past tax records by obtaining wage and income transcripts and income transcripts from the IRS, identifying income sources tied to your employer and financial institutions, and reviewing your IRS account to check balances and payment history. We address missing returns and unfiled tax returns proactively, as prompt action is crucial to avoid legal implications and preserve your rights to refunds. Our team is skilled at resolving any tax problem, no matter how complex, and we have extensive experience with common tax problems such as unfiled returns and IRS disputes.

We’ve assisted people from every walk of life: single parents, high-net-worth couples, retirees, gig economy workers, small business owners, healthcare professionals, truck drivers, self-employed individuals facing unique tax challenges, and businesses needing tailored tax services. Those who own their own business must consider specific tax savings and deductions available to them. Taxpayers can benefit from professional tax help, and consulting a tax professional is especially important for complex tax issues. Our tax attorneys play a key role in resolving difficult cases and providing legal expertise.
