We look first — that part is free — and only quote once we actually know your case. In writing, and never before.
Most people arrive at this page having already been quoted a number by someone who had never looked at their case. That's not how this works here.
We pull your IRS transcripts, analyze what's actually there, and tell you where you stand — the real balance, the real deadline, which returns the IRS thinks are missing, and which programs you qualify for.
That costs you nothing, and there's no obligation attached to it. Most firms charge $500 to $750 for this and call it a “discovery fee.” We don't, because we don't think you should have to pay to find out whether you need us.
After the review, you get a flat fee for the specific work your case needs. It's fixed, it's in writing, and it doesn't move unless the scope of your case genuinely changes — in which case we tell you first.
Some things you simply don't need us for. A streamlined payment plan on a balance under $50,000, when you're filed and current, can often be set up in about twenty minutes, for a small IRS setup fee. Firms routinely charge thousands of dollars for it. We will tell you to go do it yourself, and we will show you how. The same is true of a First-Time Abatement request — it's often close to automatic, and it's free to ask for.
We would rather lose the fee than take money for work you don't need. That decision is not a marketing position. It's the reason this firm exists.
Every case is different, so these are ranges rather than prices. Your actual fee is quoted in writing after your free review — never before.

We will never tell you what your case is worth before we have looked at it.
Every “settle for pennies on the dollar” promise you've heard was made by someone who had no idea whether you qualified — and who collected the fee at the beginning, and delivered the “no” eighteen months later. In June 2026, the FTC and the State of Nevada obtained a $77.7 million judgment against a tax relief operation for exactly that practice. It was not an isolated case.
We are a licensed CPA firm. We are accountable to a state board. And we would rather tell you the truth and lose the sale.
No cost, no obligation. We'll pull your transcripts and tell you honestly where you stand before you pay anything.
