IRS Representation & Tax Relief

IRS Representation & Resolution
for DC, Maryland & Virginia

Receiving an IRS notice can be stressful and confusing — whether it's unpaid taxes, an audit, or collection action.

At Simonsgroup Tax Advisory, we represent clients directly before the IRS and help resolve tax issues through structured analysis, negotiation, and compliance planning. Our goal: resolve the issue while protecting your financial stability. IRS representation services are led by Tim Simons, Enrolled Agent (EA).

📍 Washington, DC 🛡️ Serving DC, MD & VA + Nationwide 📅 Established 2010
What a notice can escalate to
  • Federal tax liens on your property
  • Wage garnishments
  • Bank account levies
  • Penalties and interest accumulation

IRS notices rarely resolve themselves. Ignoring them or responding without guidance can make the situation significantly worse.

The Problem

When IRS Problems
Escalate Without Help

IRS issues require immediate, strategic action — not just accurate filing. Without professional representation, taxpayers often face:

  • IRS notices that go unanswered and escalate
  • Liens placed on property and assets
  • Wages garnished without warning
  • Bank accounts levied by the IRS
  • Penalties and interest that compound quickly

Professional IRS representation ensures your case is handled strategically — and that your rights are protected throughout the entire process.

Our Approach

Analysis First.
Action Second.

We review your full situation before recommending any path forward. No assumptions, no pressure — just a clear picture and a structured strategy that may also require tax planning and preparation to restore full compliance.

Who This Is For

You May Need Representation
If You're Facing

IRS representation is appropriate for individuals and business owners dealing with active IRS issues — or notices they don't fully understand.

  • IRS notices requesting payment or documentation
  • Tax balances you cannot immediately pay in full
  • Audit or IRS examination notices
  • Collection actions such as liens or levies
  • Multiple years of unfiled tax returns

Not sure what your notice means? The first step is understanding your options — no commitment required. In some cases, better year-round records through bookkeeping and financial reporting can also support a stronger resolution path.

Strategy Development
We determine which resolution options apply to your specific case and explain the path forward clearly before any action is taken.
3
Negotiation & Representation
We communicate directly with the IRS on your behalf and work systematically toward the best achievable resolution.

Throughout the process, we keep you informed so you always understand what is happening and what to expect at every stage.

Why Clients Choose Simonsgroup

No pressure. Just clarity about your options.

What It Costs

Two Phases. Both Priced Before You Commit To Anything.

Most firms hide pricing until you are on the phone. We publish it: the call is free, the report is $1,500 flat, and resolution is quoted in writing before work begins.

Phase 1 · Resolution Options Report
$1,500

Flat fee. The first 15 minutes are free.

  • IRS authorization filed so we can act on your behalf
  • Full account transcript pull: every balance, penalty, and unfiled year, exactly as the IRS sees it
  • Deadline and statute review, including any enforcement clocks already running
  • The Resolution Options Report: your options in writing, the path we recommend, what it should cost, and how long it takes
Phase 2 · Resolution
From $4,500

Fixed fee, set by complexity, quoted in writing after the report

  • Unfiled return preparation for the years that need it
  • Installment agreements and currently-not-collectible filings
  • Offers in compromise where the financial analysis supports one
  • Penalty relief pursued on every case: first-time abatement and reasonable-cause requests
  • Notice response and hearing representation

Don't Wait on an IRS Issue.

The earlier you act, the more resolution options remain available. Start with a confidential case review — no commitment required.
