Tax Resolution

When Tax Problems Don’t Fit Standard Categories

Not every tax problem arrives with a clear label and obvious solution. Sometimes you’re dealing with a confusing mix of issues—unfiled returns combined with collection actions, audit adjustments triggering penalty assessments, or notices that seem to contradict each other. When your situation is complex or unclear, you need someone who can see the big picture and create order from chaos.

Many tax problems that seem impossible are actually quite manageable when approached systematically by someone who understands how all the pieces fit together. The key is having a comprehensive strategy that addresses everything in the right sequence.

At Frazier Law, we specialize in untangling complex tax situations and creating clear paths forward, regardless of how complicated things have become.

The Hidden Dangers of Fragmented Problem-Solving

When you try to address tax problems piece by piece, you often create new complications that make resolution more difficult and expensive:

Conflicting Resolution Strategies Filing delinquent returns without considering existing collection actions can trigger additional enforcement. Setting up payment plans without addressing underlying penalties wastes money on amounts you shouldn’t owe.

Missed Deadlines and Lost Opportunities Tax relief options have strict deadlines and eligibility requirements. Focusing on the wrong issue first can cause you to miss irreversible opportunities for relief.

Procedural Missteps That Compound Problems Submitting incomplete information to one IRS department can create complications with another. Poor documentation early in the process limits your options later.

Communication Breakdowns With Multiple IRS Units When different IRS departments are working your case simultaneously—Exam, Collection, Appeals—uncoordinated responses can send conflicting signals and slow resolution.

Escalation Into More Serious Enforcement Without comprehensive strategy, minor issues can escalate into major enforcement actions like asset seizures, business closures, or criminal referrals.

How We Create Order From Tax Chaos

Comprehensive Problem Diagnosis

When you need to understand what you’re really dealing with

• Pull complete IRS transcript history to identify all active issues, deadlines, and processing problems
• Analyze notice trail to distinguish legitimate problems from IRS processing errors
• Identify which issues require immediate attention versus those that can be addressed strategically later
• Develop comprehensive timeline and priority matrix for efficient resolution

Strategic Multi-Issue Resolution

For situations involving multiple tax problems requiring coordination

• Coordinate filing compliance, collection resolution, and penalty relief in optimal sequence
• Manage simultaneous IRS departments and prevent conflicting communications
• Align administrative deadlines with client cash flow and business cycles
• Monitor progress across all fronts while maintaining flexibility for changing circumstances

Appeals-Level Problem Solving

When administrative solutions aren’t working

• Present complex situations to Appeals Officers with authority to resolve multiple issues simultaneously
• Negotiate comprehensive settlements addressing underlying problems rather than symptoms
• Coordinate Collection Due Process hearings with other administrative remedies
• Develop alternative resolution proposals when standard procedures don’t fit your situation

Litigation Support and Advanced Strategy

For high-stakes or legally complex situations

• Prepare comprehensive administrative record supporting potential litigation
• Coordinate with Revenue Officers and Appeals personnel on complex procedural matters
• Develop court-ready legal theories while maintaining administrative resolution tracks
• Prepare Tax Court petitions and represent through Appeals for settlement

Note: Trial preparation and representation handled through separate engagement
