Why this Back Taxes & IRS Debt Resolution page is written for Galloway
Galloway sits in Central Ohio, agricultural roots with a growing share of residents commuting into the Columbus metro for healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing jobs. Central Ohio County, where Galloway is located, is a rural Ohio community where vital records typically come from the county seat and federal services require driving to a metro area.
Central Ohio tax filers tend to need ITIN preparation, expat returns, multi-state W-2 filings, and ITIN-dependent child tax credit work — and the document trail matters more than the math. Our Central Ohio County clients receive a complete return walkthrough — line by line — so they understand what was claimed, what was deducted, and why.
communities where new arrivals often join families already established in central Ohio for the lower cost of living — and Galloway, with a population near 0, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
rural and small-town drive routes feed into I-71 or U.S. 23 for the final approach to our Morse Rd office. From Galloway (ZIP central Ohio), the trip is roughly 30 miles each way.
The 30-mile drive from Galloway (~45 min) makes it practical for an evening or Saturday tax appointment. We also serve families across the rest of Central Ohio, where many of our Galloway clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

I owe IRS $20,000. Can I really settle for less?+
Possibly — through the Offer in Compromise program. The IRS evaluates your "reasonable collection potential" based on assets, monthly income minus allowable expenses, and time remaining on the collection statute. Acceptance rates hover around 30-40% for properly prepared OICs. We assess eligibility before recommending.
Will IRS take my house if I don't pay back taxes?+
IRS can file a tax lien (a public record claim against your property) for any unpaid balance over $10,000. Levies (actual seizure) happen only after multiple notices and typically target bank accounts and wages before real property. We help prevent escalation through proactive resolution.
Can I just set up a payment plan online?+
Yes — if you owe less than $50,000 and can pay within 72 months. Set it up at IRS.gov/payments. The setup fee is $31 for direct debit, $130 for non-direct-debit. For balances over $50,000 or longer terms, professional setup is recommended to ensure terms are sustainable.
How far is your office from Galloway?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 30 miles from Galloway — typically a 45-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
