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 Harrison West?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 6 miles from Harrison West — typically a 12-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.
Do Harrison West residents owe local city income tax?+
