Our Tax Resolution Process
- Free consultation. You tell us what happened and share any notices you’ve received. We tell you what we see and what happens next.
- Records review. After you sign a power of attorney (Form 2848), we pull your IRS transcripts to see what you owe and for which years.
- Compliance and strategy. We check for missing returns, then compare your options using your income, expenses, and assets.
- Negotiation. We speak with the IRS or your state for you and submit the request that fits your case.
- Resolution and follow-up. We help you meet the terms of your agreement so it doesn’t fall apart.
Timelines vary. A simple payment plan can take weeks, while a settlement can take several months.
Insights From Our Tax Team: Choosing a Realistic Tax Resolution Strategy
“We review the balance the IRS says you owe, evaluate the details behind that balance, and look at the resolution options available for your situation. The right approach is not necessarily the option that sounds best on paper, it is the one that fits your financial circumstances.”
~ Yovana Endean, Enrolled Agent
Tax Resolution Programs We Evaluate
| Resolution Option | Best For | What It Does |

| Installment Agreement | Taxpayers who can pay over time | Spreads the debt into monthly payments |
| Offer in Compromise | Taxpayers who can’t pay the full balance, ever | Settles debt for less than owed |
| Currently Not Collectible | Taxpayers in financial hardship | Pauses IRS collection activity |
| Penalty Abatement | Taxpayers with reasonable cause or a clean history | Removes or reduces penalties |
| Innocent Spouse Relief | A spouse not responsible for the debt | Separates liability on a joint return |
| Audit Representation | Taxpayers under IRS audit | Professional handles communication and negotiation |

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★ Google Review
“As of today, June 23rd, Republic Tax Relief has been awesome. I have always been skeptical of using these tax companies. But, I decided to take a chance because of I couldn’t get anywhere with the IRS by myself. I had 3 companies on my list, Republic Tax Relief, TRA Tax Relief and Optima Tax Relief. I was about to go with TRA but they were tremendously high, so I decided to call Republic and gave me an affordable price based upon my situation. I never got a chance to call Optima because I was impressed with the communication and cost with RTR. I started off with Ken at RTR, then I spoke to Chris, and now I’m working with Rebekah. All three have been great communicating and answering my very thorough questions. They gave me a level of comfort to trust them. Now, it is just a waiting game and in 3 years I will be able to come back and provide an update. Also, RTR has allowed me to pay my fees to them in 6 installments making it very worthy to use them. Thank you Ken, Chris, and Rebekah!”

“I filed my 2025 taxes just to find out I owed quite a bit – I spoke with Ryan who was super kind and helpful. He guided me through the process which was simple and easy. Turns out it was an old W-2 that I missed back in 2023. After finding out, Rebecca was able to help me get everything up to date. Definitely saved me a lot of time, stress, and money!”
