Our Process
Our 3-Step Process
It is our job to fully understand each situation as every case has it's personal nuances. Because our expertise is focused on tax resolution specifically you can rest assure you have seasoned professionals fighting for you.

Consultation
Before any action can be taken we need to invest the time to fully understand your case. The IRS can be tricky and it’s imperative we come prepared.

Investigation
At this point we play out the possible solutions and how each can play out in front of the IRS. We do a deep dive and devise a comprehensive strategy.

Resolution
Our job is to represent you in front of the IRS. Our expertise gives us the power to stand up to the intimidating tactics of the IRS.
Tax Resolution Services
We cover the entire spectrum of tax debt. If you owe money to the IRS the one thing we can know for sure is it will never go away, and will only increase with penalties. It's time to ease the emotional burden and get relief today.
Bankruptcy
If you have no way to pay back your tax debt and the incurred penalties, you might be able to appeal for bankruptcy. If you are rejected for an offer in compromise or an IRS payment plan filing for bankruptcy might be your best option.
IRS Audits
An audit is when the IRS reviews your total financial standing in order to verify the correct calculations were made on your return, and that you had adhered to all the tax laws. An audit legally allows a taxpayer to have a representative with them during the entire process. We’ll make sure you’re prepared and organized before the audit is complete, and negotiate down penalties, if any.
Liens
A tax lien allows the government to take legal claim of your assets and the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien is to pay your debt. Full payment requires the IRS to release your lien within 30 days afterwards. A lien can affect your credit, which makes it tougher to get loans so you want to reconcile as soon as possible.
Penalty Abatement
Aside from owing debt the penalties added by the IRS, without a reasonable cause, is a serious matter that must be resolved. If the taxpayer is able to provide a sensible reason, the IRS will abate or decrease the penalties. For those that don’t qualify for an Offer in Compromise, penalty abatement can be a useful tool when negotiating a repayment or Installment Agreement with the IRS.
Collection Appeal
There are many cases wherein a taxpayer does not agree with the decision of the IRS. It is in your right to appeal a decision. We will be able to help you consult with the IRS and discuss any compromise.
Expiration of Status
Upon reaching 10 years from the date of assessment the IRS will be legally prohibited to collect any back taxes. The date of assessment is usually determined close to the filing date or audit assessment date. If the your debt is close to expiring, it is important that we be careful, communicate, and strategize as a team. Any careless action might extend the IRS statute further into the future.
Wage Garnishment
Wage garnishment is when the IRS starts to withhold a portion of your paycheck until your debt is paid off. The IRS can seize up to 75% of your paycheck and your employer can do nothing about it.
Bank Levy Release
This is a common tactic the IRS uses that basically orders you to pay your debt. When the IRS issues a bank levy they can freeze your bank accounts and seize any money in your account (up to the amount that you owe), including penalties and interest.
Currently Not Collectible
If you have no means to pay your tax debt, the best way is to have your debt be deemed Currently Not Collectible. Without any source of income to pay your tax debt you may be able to qualify for this CNC option, which halts all collection activities.
Installment Agreement
An installment agreement is the most common way for taxpayers to resolve their tax debt. Installment agreements, or negotiated payment plans, include different types of agreements; formal or informal, streamlined, guaranteed and partial pay.
Testimonials
What People Are Saying
“knowledgeable and reliable”
"I came to Allan Rolnick after numerous attempts to engage "tax preparers" from Craigslist and friends' referrals. The results were terrible. I found Allan directly on the IRS directory of credentialed preparers. He is knowledgeable and reliable, providing sound advice and guidance. There were no pie in the sky promises, instead he is frank and honest and very easy to work with. I usually like to do these kinds of things myself, but there is a point where it is better left in the hands of a seasoned professional. I reached that point. If I had a friend or family member asking for a referral, I would not hesitate to suggest contacting Allan."Russ D.
“accuracy and professionalism”
"Allan J. Rolnick, is one of the good guys. He doesn’t just want success just for himself but, the people he works with as well. I met Allan through an advertisement years ago and he has travel from New York to Washington DC to meet with me and my staff many times. He is not a wimp when it comes to dealing with the government. In each of my campaigns for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, City Council and Mayor of Washington DC, Allan has file my financial statements with the office of Campaign Finance understanding the need for accuracy and professionalism. He knows his stuff and I am glad to have him as my accountant and my friend."Ernest E. Johnson
