TAX RESOLUTION SERVICES

Confidence. If you receive a notice from the IRS or Franchise Tax Board – CA State, our tax professionals know how to respond.

• Tax notices should not be ignored. Left unattended, they can lead to interest accrued, penalties, wage garnishments, asset seizures, and more.
• We’ll review the notice, tell you what it means, and find the quickest resolution possible. With our help, our clients typically don’t have to deal directly with the IRS or state officials.
• You’ll know the cost of our services before any work is done, and you’ll only pay for services you need.

People often ignore tax notices because their tax problems seem larger than they can handle. We will review your situation and recommend a plan to resolve the issue before it accelerates.

Even if we did not prepare the return in question we can help resolve your IRS issue.

• If you have filed a return, but didn’t have the money to pay taxes owed, we can help you establish a payment plan with the IRS.
• If you haven’t filed a return because you haven’t kept up your bookkeeping, we can prepare the necessary records and file any delinquent returns.

If you receive a notice from the IRS, contact Smart Services as soon as possible. We’ll help you develop a plan that moves you in the right direction.

Prevention. The best way to avoid tax issues is to get it right the first time — that’s our approach. At Smart Services, we take several steps to accomplish that goal:

• We make every effort to avoid the need for tax extensions and delayed preparation of the return. While others might file an extension and prepare the return later, we prioritize finishing the return first.
• When an extension can’t be avoided, we work with you to create an accurate estimate of taxes owed so you can pay on-time and avoid interest and penalties.
• We work with you to answer the questions that come up when setting up a new venture or a change in employment status. We determine what forms need to be filed so the IRS has correct information about your status, or to make sure you’ve formed your new venture under the right type of legal entity.
• We work with you regarding the tax implications of your investments in stocks and bonds to make sure you’re holding them in the most tax advantageous accounts, and that you’ve made the best elections for how gains and losses will be calculated and treated by the IRS.
