Mishandling IRS filings and subsequent notifications can thrust individuals and businesses into a whirlpool of penalties, interest, tax liens and wage garnishments, making financial recovery elusive. Most seeking a remedy consider the “pennies-on-the-dollar negotiations” as a perfect, one-off solution to escape their rut. Yet, tax relief and debt consolidation companies usually conceal the fact that these legitimate options are only available to a tiny, financially strapped minority—leaving the majority with unrealistic expectations.

Accelerated Tax Solutions (ATS) offers bespoke, proven tax relief solutions for individuals and businesses that fit their financial circumstances, helping them transform their financial distress stories into ones of resilience through trustworthy and reliable services.

Specializing in IRS income and payroll debt, ATS initially provided broader services including sales and property tax services. Over the last 20 years, the company has been sharpening its focus to concentrate solely on tax relief and resolution, helping clients get back on track with targeted, IRS-accepted solutions.

This long-standing expertise gives the firm first-hand insight into its clients’ challenges while also giving it a vantage point in understanding and predicting the IRS’ actions.

“The IRS has recently resumed aggressively notifying taxpayers, catching many off-guard with demands related to old issues,” says Eric Boberg, marketing director of ATS. “Our efforts are geared towards ensuring the clients get the best possible position under the law and helping them get back into tax compliance with financial security and peace of mind.”

For instance, ATS recently helped a fisherman who had his accounts levied and wages garnished by the IRS, leaving him unable to support his new family. ATS immediately intervened to halt collections and release funds, eventually securing a non-collectible status for him due to job issues exacerbated by COVID.

The firm is now working on an offer in compromise to reduce the debt, focusing on principal rather than penalties and interest, a move that can help restore his financial posture. This case exemplifies how ATS recommends solutions through the lens of empathy while ensuring legally sound resolutions.

ATS’s success hinges on the insight that every client confronts different monetary challenges and one-size-fits-all approach is ineffective in most circumstances. The firm’s proven strategy starts with thorough research on the customer’s tax history, going back at least ten years. The team identifies every loophole, opportunity and issue to get a clear view of the client’s current status.

ATS then obtains the power-of-attorney to represent clients (if needed) and informs the IRS of their intention to get compliant and seek a resolution. ATS negotiates on behalf of those with past tax debts for the best payment plan available, including offers in compromise and non-collectible status for eligible taxpayers. A payment plan is set up to settle the debt, aligning with the client’s financial situation and future goals.

ATS’s strategies have also benefitted many businesses. For instance, it recently helped a mom-and-pop store in New York with its tax troubles. They were ten years behind on their tax filings, which resulted in the IRS levying their IRA accounts. ATS conducted an in-depth investigation and performed the necessary bookkeeping and tax preparation, resulting in a refund of $15,000. Similar stories pave the company’s road to leadership in the tax relief space where overselling and underdelivered solution is a common sight.

Audit defense is another avenue where ATS stands out. It provides comprehensive documentation and engages directly with the IRS to reduce or eliminate assessments. ATS’ portfolio contains more services like innocent spouse relief for individuals facing tax issues due to a partner’s malpractices, helping them through mirroring clauses.

The company’s extensive service portfolio and the effectiveness of its bespoke solutions have earned it a 4.8-star rating on Google from locations across the country and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). With these client-awarded accolades, it is clear that ATS leads the industry in offering highly specialized tax relief grounded in empathy and support.
