Unpaid state taxes, a collection letter or a filing problem deserve a plan tailored to the agency handling your account. Advocate Tax Solutions helps taxpayers understand their notices, organize missing records and evaluate state tax resolution options.
Start with the state involved:


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.
Programs and eligibility differ by state. A reduced settlement, collection hold or payment arrangement requires the applicable agency’s consideration; it is not automatic.
Have your latest notice, the tax years involved, an estimate of the balance and any approaching deadline ready. Tell us if a bank, employer or other party has received a collection notice. You do not need to sort out every detail before calling.
Based in Northbrook, Illinois, our team works with clients by phone and through our online document process. We explain the proposed work and the information needed for your case before moving forward.
Call (888) 926-0395 or request a consultation.
If your notice is federal, visit our IRS tax resolution page. For missing filings, see help with unfiled tax returns.
