You have tax questions. We have tax answers.

Dealing with the IRS is often more about procedure than math. A tax lawyer understands how the IRS actually works, which department handles what, who to call, and how to get through to the right people when a case is stuck.

Lawyers are also fully licensed by a state bar and held to strict professional standards, while some tax preparers are unenrolled and have limited authority. On top of that, tax lawyers spend years studying tax law, IRS procedure, and dispute strategy in law school.

Nope. There is no minimum tax balance required to work with us.

Whether you owe the IRS a few thousand dollars or a six-figure amount, the approach is the same: we evaluate your situation, identify the best resolution options, and help you move forward. If it makes financial sense for you to get help, it is worth a conversation.

Phase 1: We step in immediately, take over all communication with the IRS, and put protections in place to stop or prevent collections. We pull and review your IRS transcripts and every relevant document, break down exactly what the IRS is claiming, and run a full financial and reasonable collection potential analysis.

Phase 2: We execute the winning strategy we developed. From that point forward, we continue dealing with the IRS and pushing the case toward a final resolution that protects your income and assets.

Yes. We deal with the IRS directly so you do not have to. Once we are on the case, we handle the calls, notices, and negotiations, and you will not be stuck trying to get through or figure out who to talk to. We keep you updated, but we take that burden off your plate.

Yes. We strongly believe that quality IRS representation should be accessible. When you support small businesses like Keeton Tax Law PLLC, you receive major value: experienced attorneys without big law prices.

Yes, our consultations really are free. The goal is to understand what is going on, answer your questions, and point you in the right direction. If it is something we can help with, we will explain the next steps. If not, you leave with a clearer understanding of your situation and what to do next.

We focus on getting it right, not rushing you into a one-size-fits-all answer. After the initial consultation, we analyze your IRS transcripts, filing history, and financial situation to see what the IRS says you owe and why.

Once that diagnostic is done, we implement the best path forward, whether that means filing missing returns, setting up an IRS payment plan, requesting penalty relief, placing the account in currently not collectible status, or exploring an offer in compromise.

Some cases can be resolved in a few months, while others take longer, especially if there are unfiled returns, larger balances, or multiple years involved. Once we step in, we take control of the case, deal directly with the IRS, and start putting protections in place right away to help safeguard your income and assets while we work toward a resolution.

It depends on your situation. An offer in compromise is based on your income, expenses, assets, and overall ability to pay, so not everyone qualifies. Think of it like a financial snapshot of what the IRS believes you can realistically afford.

Once we step in, we review your numbers and IRS transcripts, run the analysis, and determine pretty quickly if it is a viable option. If it is, we move forward and build the strongest case possible. If not, we pivot to a better strategy that actually fits your situation.

Not at all. We hear that a lot, but it is almost never too late to deal with unfiled tax returns. In many cases, the IRS just wants you back in compliance and may only require a limited number of returns.

Filing the missing returns through a tax professional, like Keeton Tax Law PLLC, often lowers the balance and opens the door to options like IRS payment plans or penalty relief.

Not always. The IRS sends those notices as part of the normal collection process, but many taxpayers qualify for alternatives like IRS payment plans, temporary hardship status, or even settling the debt for less through an offer in compromise.

This is where a tax attorney comes in, stepping in to deal with the IRS directly and help you pursue the option that actually fits your situation.

If you owe IRS tax debt and it goes unresolved long enough, the IRS has strong collection tools. The IRS can garnish your wages, take money from your bank account, and even levy things like Social Security, retirement accounts, or pensions.

The key is getting ahead of the collection activity. The tax attorneys at Keeton Tax Law know which IRS notice to look out for and can implement options, like a payment plan, or work something out before the IRS starts taking money directly.

In many cases we can stop or prevent wage garnishments and bank levies, but timing matters. Once we step in, we move quickly to contact the IRS, assert representation, and request a hold on collections while we work out a resolution.

From there, we push toward a longer-term solution like a payment plan, hardship status, or another option that may release the levy and possibly put it back into your pocket.

If the IRS is already garnishing wages or levying your bank account, the key is acting quickly. Once we step in, we contact the IRS, assert representation, and work to get collections paused while we put a resolution in place.

Depending on your situation, that could mean a payment plan, hardship status, or another option that stops the garnishment and keeps it from coming back.
