The Tax Alternative Group is a specialty tax firm that provides tax preparation, taxpayer resolution services, and proactive tax planning. 

Tax resolution is a specialty that many tax practitioners do not offer because they do not have practice rights before the IRS, lack competency in tax practice and procedure, or find that it is not a profitable area of practice. Tax resolution is also a very emotional process that often requires more compassion and empathy than traditional practitioners provide. As a local business, The Tax Alternative Group provides a closer relationship through the resolution process and more one on one contact than the larger national firms were able to provide.

Much of the tax resolution we do is related to “non-filers”, taxpayers who fail to file their returns for one reason or another – usually related to some traumatic life event. Our goal is to get taxpayers back in compliance with their tax obligations so they can get on with their lives. We work to prepare and file returns, reduce assessments and penalties, negotiate payment plans, and in some cases, make settlement offers for less than the full amount due.

Too many taxpayers leave their tax problems unresolved because they fear owing the tax, interest, and penalty. Unfortunately, many times taxpayers lose their due process rights because they do not act within the time allowed. The Internal Revenue Code provides many remedies and options for relief, provided taxpayers are aware and request it within the required time frame.  

Enrolled Agents are licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Only Enrolled Agents, Attorneys, and CPAs have unlimited practice rights before the IRS. Enrolled Agents are licensed to practice in all 50 states, whereas Attorneys and CPAs are generally limited to practice in their licensing state.
