Washington Tax Services has been assisting individual taxpayers and small businesses with their past due tax troubles since 1989.  Whether you have been dealing with the IRS for years and can't get caught up, or are just now falling behind and don't know where to begin - We know the tax collection system and have the experience and expertise to get you the best results possible under the law

Our Tax Resolution Philosophy

 

The Washington Tax Service mission is to assist individuals and small businesses by providing the professional advice and service needed to permanently resolve overdue federal and state tax debts. We firmly believe that erasing a tax debt is only beneficial when it stays erased, so we strive not only to eliminate a client's current problems, but also to educate them in how to avoid future recurrences. If we do our job well, we'll never have to work for the same client twice. We know that our success and reputation depend on achieving the results that taxpayers need and expect - and we rise to the challenge of fulfilling those expectations. We've organized our business in a way that we believe maximizes the efficiency of the Tax Resolution process while adhering to the highest level of customer service and absolute integrity.  Our staff has been selected for their dedication to working with the IRS and for the individual, to arrange the most favorable settlement terms available under the law. 

Our philosophy requires that the client be committed to the Resolution process. Because we employ an entire team of professionals, we are able to provide a full service experience to the individual who does not wish to deal with the IRS on their own. It is our pleasure to do your dirty-work. However, this process is a two-way street, and our effort on your behalf is only as good as the information you provide us with. Behind all the legal terminology and the number-crunching, there is only one reason to pursue Tax Resolution - to improve your Quality of Life. The client must value this opportunity to make a fresh start. Therefore, it is highly recommended that before you contact any tax professional you ask yourself: "Am I committed to resolving my tax problem?"  When you are ready to answer with a firm "Yes", then please give us a call, and we will do everything within our power to help. 

 

We Will Make Sure that You Get the Best Deal Possible

Proper Tax Resolution will not happen by simply selecting an arbitrary dollar amount and mailing it off to the IRS as though it were an apology. Nor will a tax debt disappear by trying to "outsmart" an IRS agent. In order to get the best deal (i.e. - the greatest reduction in debt) you must use the established system and know how to calculate the lowest acceptable settlement and properly prove your case. 

Unlike many tax "negotiators", our approach is not based on confrontation with the IRS.  Instead, we have studied how the IRS’s own programs and procedures can be used to maximize the benefit to our clients. The approach we have developed is very efficient. By using the methods that the IRS itself has set up for Tax Resolution, our work can usually be done without any face to face contact with the IRS.  You may be surprised to learn that many people can completely resolve their tax debt issues by simply having us put the right information on the right forms and showing them the right person to send it to at the IRS. When the information and the method are correct, it’s all very simple and efficient for both the client and the Feds.

 

We Will Make Sure that you are Treated Fairly by the IRS

In their zeal to reclaim the funds that they believe are owed, IRS agents have a real tendency to apply intimidation tactics to their collections activities, even going so far as to "bend" the rules that they themselves are supposed to be enforcing. And owing to the fact that most individuals are woefully under-educated when it comes to exercising their Taxpayer's Rights, these scare-tactics usually work. But rather than truly resolving the tax debt issue, the agent's forcefulness usually only prods the unfortunate taxpayer into a repayment agreement which cannot be maintained and will be certain to cause future hardship. 

When you hire Washington Tax Services, we will immediately intervene to halt IRS Collections activity while we prepare your settlement offer. By starting the ball rolling on Tax Resolution, you will have bought yourself some time in which the IRS will not be able to harass you while you work toward a solution. The IRS is not omnipotent.  Their authority does not allow them to create an unlivable hardship in your life - in fact, they are explicitly prohibited from doing so.  We know their tools and tricks, and will address their common abuses by asserting your Taxpayer's Rights to the full extent of the law.  

 

Why Use Us Instead of Your Regular Tax Professional

Most private tax professionals deal primarily with tax planning, tax avoidance, and annual tax form preparations. The majority of their clients are individuals or businesses which are solvent and compliant with the law.   If a mid-sized tax practitioner has around 200 clients, he or she probably only deals with one or two instances of Tax Resolution per year. As a result, most tax professionals have had little, if any, exposure to these complicated procedures, and are rarely up-to-date with the ongoing changes in IRS relief programs. Clients who do need resolution work done are often turned away (or worse,  have their case mishandled) for a variety of reasons which could include a lack of time, expertise, or inability to collect an adequate fee to make it worth the tax practitioner's while.   

At Washington Tax Services, our clients benefit from our nearly 15 years of experience in the Tax Resolution field.  Because we specialize in this type of tax work and because we have developed such an efficient system of dealing with the IRS's strict regulations, we are able to charge significantly lower fees than the majority of non-specialized tax professionals could.  Beware of hiring an attorney or CPA who will charge you by the hour while they brush up on the relevant IRS code needed to figure out your case!  We do business in a fair way and do everything we can to prove to our clients that their case is being handled professionally and efficiently.
