Reach out to BlackRidge Tax for a complimentary review of your tax situation. We’ll help you understand your position and identify the strategic paths forward.
Following your initial consultation, we begin by securing your complete IRS file. This meticulous review of your tax matters provides the critical insights needed to formulate a tailored strategy designed to secure the most favorable resolution for your case.
We leverage our expertise to advocate on your behalf directly with the taxing authorities. Our objective is not only to execute a formulated strategy and secure the most favorable resolution possible, but to ensure that once this matter is behind you, it stays there. We work to position every client for full compliance and long-term stability, so that the IRS becomes a non-issue going forward, not a recurring one.
Our client owed a quarter-million dollars from a failed business — compounded by serious health issues made worse by relentless IRS notices. We submitted a detailed proposal based on true collection potential and, while preparing for appeal, negotiated a final settlement of $17,000.
Our client took over a business with fraudulent payroll returns filed by prior management. Despite his cooperation and correct filings showing nothing was owed, the IRS seized $125,000 in refunds due to him. We had every erroneous assessment abated and every dollar returned.
Our client’s payroll company failed to notify the state it had taken over processing, leading to a $101,000 assessment. We submitted corrected wage reports proving proper payment had been made — the state fully abated the assessment and closed the account.
A state placed a lien on our client’s home based on the mistaken belief he was an officer of his employer. Our investigation uncovered a filing defect that should have caused automatic rejection. We proved the error and secured full abatement and lien removal.
Our client had discharged his FTB debt in bankruptcy, yet collection notices kept arriving. A review of the bankruptcy file revealed the FTB had defaulted in an adversary proceeding. We secured a complete and permanent halt to all collection efforts.
Our client received an FTB notice asserting his business owed $16,653 in state income tax. We filed a formal protest with the Office of Tax Appeals arguing the assessment was clearly erroneous. After negotiations with FTB counsel, the matter resolved for the $800 minimum franchise tax — a 95% reduction.
