Find the right path for your state tax issue

A state tax balance and an IRS balance are separate matters. The agency, tax type, filing history and stage of collection all affect the next step. An agreement with the IRS does not automatically settle what you owe a state.

Our review starts with the balance being claimed and whether the required returns have been filed. We then assess the records and financial information needed for a response or resolution request.

  • Notice review: identify the tax years, agency and response deadline.
  • Filing compliance: address missing returns and review possible filing errors.
  • Payment options: evaluate an installment request under the state’s requirements.
  • Collection matters: review liens, warrants, wage actions or bank levies and the available response process.

Programs and eligibility differ by state. A reduced settlement, collection hold or payment arrangement requires the applicable agency’s consideration; it is not automatic.
