Once we prepare your delinquent income tax returns, we ascertain your tax liability and any associated penalties and interest.<\/p>\n<p>\nAt that time, the taxpayer will be explained the procedures for determining whether he or she qualifies for an Installment Agreement or an Offer in Compromise. In some cases, you can expect to receive a Financial Checklist and a Tax Preparation Checklist. The details of completion of these forms will be explained by our tax professionals.<\/p>\n<p>\nWe employ a reasonably aggressive approach in handling our client\u2019s <a href=\"\/blog\/\">tax problems<\/a>.
