Wage Levy and Release
Have you just received your paycheck only to find that the IRS has taken most of what you earned? They didn’t even leave you enough to pay your bills, your rent or mortgage, your car payment or to feed your family.

We can stop wage levies with a Wage Levy Release.
When the IRS or state has failed repeatedly to collect back taxes, they begin to seize assets. This process is called a “levy.” When they attach wages, it’s termed a “wage garnishment.” After providing either ten, thirty or sixty day notice through certified mail, they are legally allowed to seize bank accounts, demand payment from accounts receivable, take control of property for auction, and assume title on vehicles. Virtually anything of value can be seized to satisfy the outstanding debt.
The IRS wage levy (seizure) is a powerful tool used to collect taxes you owe. Upon receiving the Notice of Levy from the IRS, your employer is required to withhold from your paycheck the amount that must be paid to the IRS. The payment by your employer to the IRS is made on the same date that wage payments are made to you. It can make it impossible for you to pay your bills or support your family. The IRS does not take all of your paycheck; they allow you enough to live on. Of course, their idea of enough to live on and ours are very different. You may only receive a net weekly paycheck of $133.00. This Levy continues until we have negotiated a release or the total tax liability has been paid.
We can stop wage levies. Your employer will request that you complete certain information for the IRS. This information will tell your employer how much must be withheld from your paycheck and sent to the IRS on payday. The tax professionals at ATRS will help you complete the information request and determine the amount you will be able to get from your paycheck.
We will need information regarding IRS notices that you have received and other personal financial information. We will then contact the IRS and negotiate a release of the levy.

Bank Levy and Release

We only have 21 days to stop the levy with a Bank Levy Release
If you ignore IRS notices, phone calls and letters, the IRS will start what they call Enforced Collection. It is a way for them to get your attention and collect the delinquent taxes. When the IRS or state has failed repeatedly to collect back taxes, they can begin to seize assets. This process is called a “levy. After providing either ten, thirty or sixty day notice through certified mail, they are legally allowed to seize bank accounts, demand payment from accounts receivable, take control of property for auction, and assume title on vehicles. Virtually anything of value can be seized to satisfy the outstanding debt.
Levies and wage garnishments are the most crippling and humiliating of all collection tactics. They’re designed to force taxpayers into willful compliance.
Seizure of your bank account or your assets is the ultimate action in their collection efforts. The IRS sends a Notice of Levy to the financial institution informing them that you owe taxes. The IRS requires them to freeze all the money in your account(s) as of that day. This includes all accounts with your social security number. You are then unable to use any of those funds to pay your bills. This freeze may cause your checks to bounce. The bank must hold these funds for 21 days. At the end of that period, the bank must remit the funds to the IRS. There is nothing anyone can do at that point.
This 21 day period allows ATRS time to negotiate with and encourage the IRS to release the funds from levy. During the negotiations we will supply the IRS with the information they require. Once we have negotiated the release, the IRS will forward a Release of Levy to your bank. We can then apply for either an Offer in Compromise or an Installment Agreement. We will discuss each option with you.
Although many times the bank levy is wrong, it is up to you to correct the problem.

We have years of experience lifting levies and wage garnishments quickly. Depending on the type and severity, it usually takes only 2-10 business days for us to successfully lift either.
Unfiled Tax Returns
Did you not file your returns because you couldn’t pay the taxes owed? Don’t wait for the IRS or your State tax authority to contact you!
Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service Today! 1-800-742-5132
We will prepare your unfiled State (all 50 states) and Federal returns, protect your rights and negotiate a payment plan, Installment Agreement or Offer in Compromise.
Don’t let the IRS or your State prepare a return for you. It’s not in your best interest. They use the highest tax rate. The IRS submits what is termed an SFR (Substitute for Return). This is submitted by the IRS for the taxpayer using bank deposits as the taxpayer’s gross income. This is the worst form of taxation as it allows for zero deductions and grossly exaggerates a taxpayer’s liability. Example: If you are in business and have gross receipts of $200,000 you will be taxed on the $200.000 with no allowance for expenses even if your business made no money that year. You could owe over $70,000 in taxes plus interest and penalties. Many times, once we’ve completed a past due tax return, the client owes no money or actually receives a refund.
Failure to file returns is illegal and subject to criminal and civil penalties. This means that you can go to prison, pay substantial penalties and be financially destroyed. Willful failure to file returns can result in a punishment of one year in jail and a $25,000 fine ($100,000 in the case of a corporation).
Please understand, the IRS is looking for all taxpayers who have not filed returns. If you have previously filed returns, have a savings account, earn dividends and interest, wages or salary or have any other form of income, the IRS will have a record of it. That means they know you exist. You will start receiving notices from the IRS soon.
What to do? Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service today. We will prepare all past-due tax returns and get you the largest refund possible. If you do owe, we will negotiate a payment plan for you.

Installment Agreement
Have you filed your returns but were unable to pay the taxes due? Have financial hardships kept you from paying past due taxes? Has the IRS contacted you about past due taxes?
Don’t panic! Call Alliance Tax Resolution Service today. 1-800-742-5132
We can help with an installment agreement or an Offer in Compromise. You do have options.
If you are currently unable to pay the full amount of your tax liability, but do not qualify for an Offer in Compromise, we can contact the IRS and request an Installment Agreement.
This program is for taxpayers and businesses that cannot settle their entire tax debt at one time and need to make payments on it. This means valuable time to catch up and escape the harassment and embarrassment of revenue officers and agents, allowing room to map out an affordable solution.
We will complete an exhaustive review of the equity in your assets and your monthly income and living expenses. We’ll tell you what the IRS position is on “allowable” expenses (as you can expect the IRS definition of living expenses and your definition may be very different). We will negotiate with the IRS to have them accept the Installment Agreement.
A negotiated payment plan is much more favorable that a Wage Levy, Bank Levy or Asset Seizure. This agreement, will allow you to pay your tax liability over a period of time.
So, if the IRS has burdened you with an unreasonable payment plan or is threatening to levy on your wages, bank accounts and other assets, call Alliance Tax Resolution Service. We can get you a payment plan that conforms to your current financial requirements.

Currently Not Collectable
Do you owe the IRS and can’t afford to make any payments at this time? You may qualify to be classified as currently not collectible.
Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service today! 1-800-742-5132
There are times when it is obvious that a taxpayer is unable to make any monthly payments because of their current financial situation. Sometimes, making even small monthly payments would cause severe economic hardship. If your financial condition warrants, we can have your account placed in a “not currently collectible” status. Under this program, the IRS withholds all collection activity until you are financially able to make payments.
With the proper and accurate information, we can determine if you can qualify for this relief. If so, we will contact the IRS on your behalf. If, however, we determine there are better alternatives for you, we will explain why and make recommendations. Alternatives may include an Offer in Compromise or Installment Plan.
If you qualify, we will negotiate with the IRS to classify you as “Currently not Collectible”. This will place your account in suspense for one to two years. After that time, the IRS will contact you for updated financial information.
The good news is that you won’t be required to make any payments for a few years. The bad news is that interest and penalties will continue to accrue on your taxes. Although your tax debt will not go away, this will allow you time to get back on your feet.
If you believe that your situation is such that you cannot make any monthly payments, contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service, today! There is no reason why you should suffer with this IRS debt hanging over your head like a cloud of stress. WE CAN HELP YOU

Innocent Spouse or Injured Spouse
Is the IRS trying to collect taxes from you that your spouse (or former spouse) owes? That’s not fair. You may qualify as an innocent spouse or as an injured spouse. If you don’t qualify as an innocent spouse or injured spouse, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise or an Installment Agreement.
Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service today! 1-800-742-5132
Innocent Spouse
Married people usually file a joint return because the taxes are less. When you file a joint return, you also chose to be jointly and individually liable for any and all taxes, penalties and interest due on that joint return. This is true even if a divorce decree or other agreement states that your former spouse will be responsible for any amounts due on previously filed joint returns.
If your spouse or ex-spouse understated the tax on a jointly filed return, you are eligible to be released from the obligation for the tax liability and the related interest and penalties. Your only obligations to be released from the liabilities are to show that the understatement of tax is attributable to your spouse and that you had no reason to know of the understatement. Additionally, you must file Form 8857 within 2 years after the IRS has begun to try to collect the tax from you.
Innocent Spouse relief falls into three categories:
- Innocent Spouse Relief
- Separation of Liability
- Equitable Relief
If you qualify, we will file a claim on your behalf as an innocent spouse. Contact ATRS today for a free analysis.
Injured Spouse
It usually happens like this; you and your spouse have filed a joint tax return showing a substantial refund due. You wait and wait for the refund and then you get an envelope from the IRS. But instead of a refund, you find a notice from the IRS that says “Your refund has been applied” (offset) against your spouse’s past-due Federal tax, child or spousal support, Federal non tax debt or state income tax. Now what do you do?
Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service NOW at 1-800-742-5132.
If you meet certain criteria, we will file a claim for you as an injured spouse and get your portion of the refund.
Our staff of tax professionals have years of experience and are fluent in every aspect of the changing tax code. When you hire Alliance Tax Resolution Service, we assume limited tax power of attorney, thus enabling us to negotiate directly with the IRS on your behalf. You won’t have to speak to the IRS again.

Penalty Abatement
Penalty abatement is another, very effective program for reduction of an outstanding tax debt. If there were circumstances beyond your control that prevented you from paying your tax debt and led to delinquency, we can challenge the penalties and interest charged by the IRS and negotiate a reduction. Relief from penalties falls into four categories:
- Reasonable Cause – Mistake made by the taxpayer, ignorance of law, death, serious illness, unavoidable absence.
- Statutory Exceptions- Simple or complex legislative tax code changes.
- Administrative Waivers – Undue hardship, fire, flood, natural disaster, bad legal/tax advice.
- Correction of Service Error – Mistake made by the IRS.
Because tax relief from accrued penalties and interest is based more on stated representations rather than financial hardship; terms of successful penalty abatement are very specific. This program involves a great deal of skill to successfully navigate the IRS protocol and bring resolution.
If applied for correctly and effectively, results can be substantial. Our staff of CPAs know how work with this program. When you call, we will cover the details of penalty abatement and explain why you would or wouldn’t be a candidate for this relief.

We can prepare unfiled Form 941s and find a solution to your Payroll Tax problems
For many businesses, when they start to have financial problems one of the first things to happen is the payroll taxes are not paid on time and the payroll returns are not filed on time. Both of these are among the worst things to do when a business has fallen upon hard times.
Trust funds are the money you withhold from an employee’s paycheck, which includes federal income tax and the employees’ share of FICA and Medicare. This money is held in trust until you pay it to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS codes say any person required to collect, truthfully account for, and pay over any tax imposed by this title who willfully fails to collect such tax, or truthfully account for or pay over such tax, or willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any such tax or the payment thereof, shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be personally liable for a penalty equal to the total amount of the tax evaded, or not collected.
This means not only is your company liable for Trust funds, but you are also personally liable for Trust funds if:
- You are the “responsible” person
- You “willfully” failed to collect or pay over payroll taxes
- You had knowledge that the payroll taxes were unpaid
- You had the power to control payments to creditors or the IRS
- You prepared or signed the 941 returns
According to the IRS, a responsible person is a person or group of people who have the duty to perform and the power to direct the collecting, accounting and paying of trust funds. This person may be:
- an officer or an employee of a corporation
- a member or employee of a partnership
- a corporate director or shareholder
- a member of a board of trustees of a nonprofit organization, or
- any person with the authority and control to direct the disbursement of funds
The IRS may assess the penalty against anyone who may be a responsible person. The IRS will be looking for someone to penalize and it may be you!
Be aware; Trust Fund Penalties cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
If you know the IRS is planning to assess the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty against you, or if they have already assessed the penalty against you:
- Do you know what your rights are?
- Are you the person who should be assessed, or is it someone else?
- Do you know if you have been assessed the proper amount of “Trust Funds”?
- Will you qualify for an “Offer in Compromise”?
- Can you qualify to make installment payments?
- Will you lose your home, your bank account, your car or your life savings?
Don’t wait. Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service now. We can help you answer those questions.
