When the IRS Comes Calling, You Don't Have to Face It Alone
A Fort Worth CPA firm with a dedicated department for IRS audit representation and tax resolution — so you have a credentialed professional in your corner from the first notice to the final resolution.
What Happens When You Ignore an IRS Notice
Most people who receive an IRS letter freeze — or worse, respond without fully understanding what they're agreeing to. The IRS operates on strict timelines, and a missed deadline or an unguided response can turn a manageable situation into a significant liability. The sooner you have professional representation in place, the more options remain available to you.
At Fisher Tax Solution, our IRS audit representation and tax resolution services are handled through a dedicated department built specifically for this work. This isn't a side service — it's a structured capability staffed to handle the complexity that IRS disputes require.
Dedicated Representation for Audits and Tax Debt
What It Looks Like to Work With Us
IRS Audit Representation
If you've received an audit notice, you have the right to professional representation — and you don't have to communicate with the IRS directly. We step in as your authorized representative, manage all correspondence, and work to achieve the most favorable outcome the facts allow.
Tax Resolution and Debt Relief
Unresolved tax debt accumulates penalties and interest quickly. We work with clients to assess the full scope of what's owed, identify resolution options available under IRS programs, and negotiate on your behalf. Resolution strategies may include installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, and currently-not-collectible status, depending on your specific situation.
Prior Year Filings as Part of Resolution
Unfiled returns are often the root cause of IRS enforcement action. If missing returns are part of your situation, our team handles prior year individual tax returns and prior year business tax returns alongside the resolution process — addressing the underlying problem, not just the notice in front of you.
What Sets Our Approach Apart
- Dedicated audit and resolution department — not a general CPA juggling resolution cases on the side
- Authorized to represent clients directly before the IRS, removing you from direct contact
- Full-service firm, so your resolution work is coordinated with your tax preparation and planning history
- Clear, plain-language communication throughout the process — you'll understand where things stand at every stage
- Local Fort Worth office serving clients across the Dallas-Fort Worth metro
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Tax Preparation in Fort Worth
What should I do if I receive an IRS audit notice?
Don't respond to the IRS on your own before speaking with a tax professional. The type of audit, the issues being examined, and the deadlines involved all affect how you should respond. Contact our office as soon as you receive the notice so we can review it and advise you before any deadlines pass.
Can a CPA represent me before the IRS?
Yes. CPAs are authorized to represent clients before the IRS in audits, appeals, and collection matters. When you authorize us as your representative using Form 2848, the IRS is required to work through us rather than contacting you directly.
What is an offer in compromise?
An offer in compromise is an IRS program that allows qualifying taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility depends on your income, expenses, asset equity, and ability to pay. It's one of several resolution options we evaluate during the initial case review — not every situation qualifies, and we'll give you an honest assessment of whether it's a realistic path.
How long does tax resolution take?
Resolution timelines vary significantly depending on the type of issue, the amount owed, and the IRS program being pursued. Simple penalty abatement requests can resolve in weeks. Offers in compromise and installment agreement negotiations typically take several months. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've reviewed your case.
What if I have unfiled tax returns and IRS debt?
Unfiled returns must typically be addressed before the IRS will approve any formal resolution agreement. Our team handles both — we can prepare and file your missing returns and manage the resolution process concurrently so nothing delays the outcome unnecessarily.
Do you handle IRS issues for businesses as well as individuals?
Yes. We represent both individual taxpayers and business entities in IRS audits and resolution matters. If your business has received an audit notice or has outstanding tax liabilities, the same dedicated department handles your case.
Ready to Get This Behind You?
The longer an IRS matter goes unaddressed, the fewer options remain. If you've received a notice or have unresolved tax debt, the right move is to get a professional review of your situation now.
