Tax resolution services when letters arrive
Professional Tax Solutions provides IRS representation for individuals and small businesses in Grand Blanc, Traverse City, Flint, Lansing, and Metro Detroit. If a notice shows up after tax season or you are facing penalties, our Enrolled Agent steps in, explains what the letter means, and outlines next steps. Many clients meet near Ascension Genesys Hospital or on Front Street by Grand Traverse Bay, and virtual meetings are available statewide. When returns are missing, we file what is overdue, line up an installment agreement, and connect the plan to tax preparation so you stay current going forward. If you also need to clean up records, our team can coordinate with bookkeeping services before we respond to the IRS.
Respond quickly with a clear plan
Do not ignore IRS letters. We review the notice type, confirm deadlines, and contact the agency on your behalf. Our team requests account transcripts, verifies balances and penalties, and prepares the response package with the supporting documents the IRS expects. For Michigan city tax notices, we coordinate responses with local offices so state and local records match.
Audit Defense and Support
Documentation, representation, and steady guidance
If you are selected for an audit, we gather records, organize schedules, and represent you throughout the process. That includes correspondence audits and in person examinations. We explain what the auditor is requesting, manage deadlines, and keep communication structured. When an adjustment is proposed, we review options and help you decide whether to accept, appeal, or provide additional documentation.
Back taxes and payment options
We prepare missing federal, Michigan, and city returns in the right order, then evaluate payment paths like installment agreements. If relief programs or penalty abatements apply, we prepare the requests and track responses. Our approach is ethical and realistic, with clear timelines and written steps you can follow. When the dust settles, we connect you with tax planning so next year is predictable.
What should I do if I have not filed in years and the notices keep coming?
Start by gathering what you can. We will request IRS wage and income transcripts, rebuild missing info from bank records, and file past due returns in the correct order. Professional Tax Solutions sets a realistic timeline, prioritizes the oldest years, and addresses penalties where abatement is possible. Getting current is the first step before any payment plan or relief option.
Can the IRS levy wages or a bank account if I miss payments?
Yes. The IRS can issue a wage levy or take funds from a bank account after sending required notices. Acting early matters. We contact the IRS, verify your account status, and request a hold while we submit a compliance and payment plan. Professional Tax Solutions also reviews withholding and estimates so the problem does not restart after the levy is released.
How long does it take to set up an installment agreement?
Simple agreements can be set within a few weeks once required returns are filed and balances are confirmed. More complex cases take longer if financial statements or transcript reviews are needed. We propose an amount that meets IRS rules and fits your budget, then track acceptance and first payment dates so you stay in good standing.
Do you handle State of Michigan notices and Detroit city letters as well?
Yes. We respond to Michigan Department of Treasury notices and Detroit city tax letters, align records with your federal return, and address differences in withholding or estimates. If you worked in multiple cities, we review local rules and prepare amended filings when necessary. Professional Tax Solutions coordinates responses so state, city, and federal accounts match.
Can you speak to the IRS for me so I do not have to?
Yes. With a signed authorization, our Enrolled Agent communicates directly with the IRS on your behalf. We review transcripts, call the practitioner line, submit documents, and manage deadlines. You receive clear updates while we handle the back and forth.
