The Second Look
Plenty of people come to us after they have already signed up for a payment plan, been turned down for a settlement, or tried to handle the IRS alone. Bring us what you have. We will review your notices and your current arrangement for free and tell you plainly whether there is a better path: a lower settlement, penalty relief, or a plan that fits your life.
The Threshold Column
Tax debt does not just grow. At certain amounts, the IRS and New York gain new powers over your wages, your license and your passport. Pick the range closest to your balance.
Under $10,000
Our first move: Often the fastest fix: the right payment plan, or a penalty abatement request before the balance compounds.
$10,000 – $19,999
Our first move: Respond to the state notice before the DMV acts, and set up an arrangement that keeps you driving.
$20,000 – $61,999
Our first move: This is where strategy matters most: Offer in Compromise, installment agreement or penalty abatement, compared side by side.
$62,000 or more
Our first move: Getting into a payment plan or settlement agreement is what takes you off the certification list. We move on it first.
Thresholds as described on our passport revocation, NY license suspension and services pages. Your situation may differ; the consultation is where we confirm it.
What we resolve
We don’t dabble. Resolving tax debt and defending audits is the whole practice, for individuals and businesses across New Jersey and New York.
Anyone receiving IRS notices. Anyone whose wages are being garnished or bank account has been levied. Anyone with a federal tax lien or unfiled tax returns. Any business that owes payroll taxes. Income tax trouble does not solve itself; with interest and penalties, it only gets worse.
How it works
Call us and we explain the nature of your tax problem and the strategies that can resolve it permanently. Hiring us is your decision, made after you know what we will do, how we will do it and what it will cost.
Fixed fee, set up front. Scaled to the work your case actually needs. Payment plans available.

Client success stories
What clients say after the letters stop.
From the very first consultation, their team was confident, transparent, and incredibly professional. … They did exactly what they promised, with no surprises on cost.
After reviewing the letters I had received from the IRS, he was able to help me. I now don’t receive letters threatening with levy and garnishing my wages.
JLD was great in helping us resolve our payroll tax issue with the IRS. … She went back and fought for our refund and won!
They’ve kept me informed throughout the process and have been easy to reach. … JLD has certainly exceeded my expectations.
I have had many serious IRS issues representing all phases of collection, and Jon, the principal of the firm, is highly educated and familiar with IRS matters across all categories.
