Tax law

The experienced staff at B. Phillips & Associates PC helps clients deal with many aspects of tax law, including:

  • Offers in compromise
  • Installment agreements
  • Penalty abatements
  • Trust fund payroll taxes

Offers in compromise: An offer in compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.

Installment agreements: If you cannot afford to pay your taxes in full, the IRS will often agree to consider your circumstances and allow you to set up an installment agreement whereby you pay off your taxes over time — on a workable time schedule and with a payment you can afford.

Penalty abatements: This type of tax relief either reduces (“abates”) the tax penalty amount due or waives it.

Trust fund payroll taxes: Trust fund tax is a portion of an employee’s wages (income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes — generally known as payroll taxes) withheld from an employee's wages by an employer and kept in trust until paid to the Treasury. 

IRS negotiation

Many people who owe back taxes to the IRS do nothing, in the mistaken belief that they can fly under the government’s radar. The opposite is true. The IRS has thousands of investigative agents who collect billions of dollars each year through enforcement actions. At the law office of B. Phillips & Associates PC, we provide knowledgeable and professional help for people stuck with tax bills they cannot pay.

At B.Phillips & Associates PC the goal is to take on the burden of negotiating with the IRS and fighting for a reasonable resolution to clients’ tax problems.

Legal assistance with IRS appeals

The law office of B. Phillips & Associates PC regularly handles appeals of tax decisions on behalf of both business and individual taxpayers who disagree with IRS decisions.  The IRS allows both business and individual to appeal tax decisions without a formal court proceeding.  If a taxpayer has submitted an offer in compromise in an attempt to settle a tax debt and it is rejected, then the taxpayer may file an appear with the IRS Office of Appeals.  Knowledge of tax law and Office Of Appeals procedures is required to submit a successful appeal.  Types of IRS appeals handled by the firm include appeals of rejected offers in compromise. 

  • In order to achieve a lower lump-sum payment or installment payments
  • When a requested penalty abatement was denied
  • To resolve nonpayment of trust fund payroll taxes for a business
