Tax Resolution Services in LA
Resolution Services
-
Offer in Compromise (Federal) — If you qualify, an OIC lets you settle your IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. We prepare the financial analysis, file Form 656, and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf.
-
Offer in Compromise (California) — The FTB has its own OIC program with different qualification criteria. We handle state-level settlements separately from federal.
-
Installment Agreements — Setting up monthly payment plans with the IRS and FTB that you can actually afford, including streamlined agreements and partial-pay arrangements.
-
Penalty Abatement — First-time penalty abatement, reasonable cause arguments, and statutory exceptions — we identify every avenue to get penalties reduced or eliminated.
-
Lien & Levy Release — If the IRS or FTB has placed a lien on your property or levied your bank account, we work to get it released as quickly as possible.
-
Unfiled Return Preparation — Many resolution cases start with years of unfiled returns. We prepare all missing returns and bring you into full compliance before negotiating.
California FTB Collections
-
FTB Wage Garnishment — California can garnish up to 25% of your disposable earnings. We negotiate to stop or reduce garnishments while a resolution is being worked out.
-
State Tax Liens — FTB liens affect your credit and can attach to real property. We work to get liens released or subordinated once payment arrangements are in place.
-
Protest & Appeals — If you disagree with an FTB assessment, we file formal protests and represent you through the state appeals process.
-
Innocent Spouse Relief — If your tax liability stems from a former spouse’s actions, you may qualify for relief. We prepare and file the appropriate claims with the IRS and FTB.
Why LA Taxpayers Choose Reed Corporation for Resolution
The tax resolution industry is full of companies that overpromise and underdeliver. They run ads claiming they can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar, charge large upfront fees, and then do very little. We take a different approach. We start with an honest assessment of your situation — what you actually owe, what options are realistically available, and what the likely outcome is. No false promises.
Having two taxing authorities — the IRS and the FTB — makes California resolution cases more complicated than in most states. The FTB has its own collection procedures, its own OIC program, and its own penalty structure. We handle both sides simultaneously, coordinating federal and state resolution strategies so you end up with a single coherent plan instead of two conflicting ones.
