Lenard has done a great job for me. He’s working with the IRS and cleaning up 7 years of stuff. So far it’s been very smooth and good. I’m already getting some money back, more than I’ve paid Lenard for sure.

Lenard’s guidance was invaluable throughout the process. He meticulously walked me through each step, ensuring I understood the implications of every decision and the strategies being employed.
His clear communication and unwavering support made a significant difference, turning what initially seemed like a daunting challenge into a manageable and ultimately resolved situation.

I hadn’t done taxes in a few years, and it was overwhelming to get it going myself to get my taxes set up right again. Lenard’s helped a ton! Got my taxes straightened out, was professional, and sympathized with me. Definitely recommend!

Unlike many other Los Angeles based tax firms, IRS RESO specializes exclusively in Tax Relief.
When you hire IRS RESO, you’re working with a true tax relief specialist—not a general accountant who occasionally takes on IRS cases. We focus solely on tax resolution and stay up to date on the latest strategies to achieve the best results for you.
Would you hire a bankruptcy attorney for a divorce? Of course not—they’re different areas of expertise! The same applies to tax relief. Don’t leave your IRS problems in the hands of just any accountant—choose a dedicated professional with the knowledge and experience to resolve even the toughest tax challenges.
Our Tax Relief Process
As our client, you won’t have to deal with the IRS directly anymore—we handle all communication on your behalf. If the IRS needs information or wants to speak with you, they’ll have to go through us. During the investigation phase, we gather essential details, pull transcripts, and determine exactly what the IRS knows about your situation.
After gathering all the necessary information, we’ll schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss your resolution options. Keep in mind that not everyone qualifies for every program, and it nay not be possible to determine your eligibility during the initial consultation.
Common Tax Problems
Federal Tax Liens (FTL)
Federal tax liens may be filed against you, your spouse, or your company depending on how the tax liability was incurred. When an FTL is filed everything you own is in jeopardy of being taken by the government.
Unfiled Returns
Having unfiled returns is one of the most common tax problems. It doesn’t take much in life for tax returns to not be a priority. This is something you’ll want to address quickly; failing to file your tax returns is ultimately a criminal offense. If you do not file, you can be prosecuted and punished, possibly with jail time.
Bank Levy
A levy is the IRS’s way of getting your money and your immediate attention. What they are saying is, “We have tried to communicate with you, but you have ignored us. If you own it, we can take it.” That includes bank accounts, autos, stocks, bonds, boats, pension checks, paychecks, and even Social Security checks!
Wage Garnishments
As bad as a bank levy is, a worse problem is a wage levy (or garnishment). That is when most of your paycheck goes to the IRS or State, which can often leave you barely enough to pay the bills. This can also be embaressing as they will send the request directly to your employer.
Payroll Tax Problems
One of the most serious tax problems is the failure to collect, account for, and pay to the government any payroll taxes that were, or should have been, withheld from employees. These are referred to as “trust funds” and are vigorously collected using the most aggressive tools available to the government.
Seizures of Assets
The last resort in most cases is the taking of physical assets, such as your home, car, or boat. Seizures happen in aggravated cases when someone ignores repeated requests by the IRS over a long period. This is one of the most powerful tools in the IRS arsenal.
Potential Solutions
Offer In Compromise (OIC)
The idea of the Offer in Compromise program is to give you a fresh start with the IRS. The OIC is one of the best tools in the tax relief toolbox! It allows you to pay an amount you can afford regardless of the amount you owe. Once your offer is complete you are back in the good graces of the IRS!
Installment Agreement
Installment Agreements are one of the most common tax resolution solutions. This is where you can get more time to pay the tax you owe by setting up monthly payments. Having an installment agreement in place will ensure that the IRS does not proceed with any further collection actions like liens or levies.
Penalty Abatement
How does the IRS expect you to pay what you owe when they keep adding penalties and interest? I’m happy to tell you that in some cases it is actually possible to get some of those penalties reduced or removed all together.
Audit Representation
Nothing strikes fear more than receiving an IRS or State Audit letter in the mail. Audit Specialists are trained to get information out of taxpayers that’s why it’s important to find a qualified representitive to help you through the process.
Innocent Spouse Relief
Did you know that it’s possible to get relief from tax debt problems created by your spouse? Innocent Spouse Relief exists to clear up situations where one spouse is clearly not responsible for the tax liability created by their spouse or former spouse.
Bankruptcy
Contrary to what you may have heard, taxes can be dischargeable in bankruptcy. Back taxes, interest, and penalties may be erased. Bankruptcy is often a last resort, but in certain cases can be the best option. I am not an attorney but I have relationships with local attorneys who specialize in bankruptcy law.
