TAX PROBLEMS RARELY GET EASIER BY WAITING.
TAX RESOLUTION
Whether you received an IRS notice, have unfiled returns, owe a tax balance, need an amended return, or are dealing with another federal or state tax issue, BRG Firm can help you organize the facts, understand the situation, and identify available next steps.
IRS Notices • State Tax Issues • Unfiled Returns • Balances Due • Filing Compliance • Resolution Strategy
DON'T IGNORE THE NOTICE
THE FIRST STEP IS UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
Notices and unresolved filing issues rarely solve themselves. In most cases, the situation becomes more complex and the available options more limited as deadlines pass. The key to resolution is breaking the problem down into manageable parts.
BRG Firm helps you organize the facts, identify the specific tax years involved, and understand the nature of the agency's request. Once the situation is clear, we can help you identify the next steps required to achieve compliance and move toward resolution.

TAX RESOLUTION FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT TAX NOTICES AND RESOLUTION
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I JUST RECEIVED AN IRS NOTICE?
The most important step is to identify the response deadline. Do not ignore the notice. Review the notice to understand the specific tax years, issues, and amounts involved. Contact a tax professional to discuss organizational steps and potential response strategies based on the facts provided in the notice.
CAN BRG HELP WITH STATE TAX NOTICES?
Yes. BRG can help evaluate state filing compliance, identify state-specific response requirements, and discuss available next steps for state tax balances or unfiled state returns. The process starts with reviewing the specific state notice in the context of your overall tax picture.
CAN BRG HELP IF I HAVE NOT FILED FOR SEVERAL YEARS?
Yes. BRG helps taxpayers bring multi-year filing issues into compliance. We work to identify which years are missing, gather the necessary data, and develop a plan to prepare and submit returns accurately to help mitigate further collection activity.
WHAT IF I OWE TAXES BUT CANNOT PAY THE FULL BALANCE?
There are multiple payment and resolution paths available depending on a taxpayer's individual financial situation. BRG reviews the facts to help you understand the options the IRS or state may offer, such as installment agreements or other compliance programs.
CAN BRG HELP WITH AN AMENDED RETURN?
Yes. If an error was made on a previous filing or if new information has come to light, BRG can evaluate whether an amended return is necessary and help determine the impact the correction will have on your tax account.
DOES BRG GUARANTEE A SETTLEMENT?
No. Eligibility and outcomes depend entirely on the taxpayer's individual circumstances and the tax authority's approval. BRG Firm does not guarantee any specific settlement, penalty abatement, or tax reduction; we focus on identifying the most practical path forward based on the facts.
HOW QUICKLY SHOULD I RESPOND TO A TAX NOTICE?
You should respond as quickly as possible. Most notices have strict deadlines that, if missed, can lead to additional penalties, interest, or direct collection action like liens or levies. Early response typically preserves more resolution options.
WHAT DOCUMENTS SHOULD I HAVE READY?
At minimum, you should have the specific notice you received, prior-year tax returns, and any records of payments made to tax agencies. Depending on the issue, BRG may also need W-2s, 1099s, or business financial records.
WILL I NEED TO TALK DIRECTLY TO THE IRS?
Not necessarily. In many cases, a tax professional with a Power of Attorney can communicate with the IRS on your behalf. BRG helps identify the appropriate communication strategy for your specific situation.
CAN BRG HELP BUSINESS OWNERS WITH TAX RESOLUTION?
Yes. BRG specializes in connecting business tax issues—like payroll tax filings, sales tax compliance, and business return corrections—to the overall financial management and strategic growth of the firm.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SUBMIT THE INTAKE?
Once the intake is submitted, our team reviews the provided notices and filing history to gain context. After this review, you will be invited to select a consultation time to discuss available service options and potential next steps.
