About IRS Resolution
An IRS notice in the mailbox rarely means what people fear it means, but ignoring it always makes it worse. Interest and penalties compound, deadlines pass, and a letter that could have been answered in a week turns into a lien or a levy.
Jacob Reyes Tax Services works the notice directly with the IRS on your behalf — reading exactly what they're asking, gathering what actually needs to be sent, and responding before the clock runs out. You stop guessing what the letter means and stop opening the next one alone.
Whether it's a CP2000 proposing extra tax, years of unfiled returns, or a balance you can't pay in full, the goal is the same: get your account back in good standing on terms you can actually meet.
Built for irs resolution
We deal with the IRS, you don't
With authorization on file, correspondence and phone calls run through us. You forward the letter and we take it from there.
The person filing is the person resolving
Jacob prepares returns too, so a resolution built here fits the return it came from — no hand-off between a filing desk and a collections desk.
Realistic plans, not false promises
We don't advertise pennies-on-the-dollar miracles. We look at what you owe and what you can pay, then pursue the option the IRS will actually accept.
Deadlines tracked so nothing lapses
Notices carry response windows that trigger liens and levies when missed. We calendar every deadline so the case stays in your control.
Signs you need irs resolution
- You received a CP2000, CP14, or other IRS notice and aren't sure how to respond
- You have one or more years of unfiled tax returns
- You owe a balance you can't pay in full by the deadline
- The IRS has threatened a lien, levy, or wage garnishment
- Penalties and interest have grown the balance well past the original tax
- You've received a notice about an audit or a proposed change to a filed return
The irs resolution process
- 01
Read the notice and pull your record
We start with the exact letter and your IRS account transcript so we know precisely what's owed, for which years, and by when.
- 02
File what's missing
Resolution can't move forward on unfiled years, so any missing returns are prepared and filed first to bring you current.
- 03
Choose the right resolution path
Installment agreement, penalty abatement, or another option — we match the approach to your actual numbers and the IRS's rules.
- 04
Submit, follow up, and close it out
We file the response, handle the back-and-forth with the IRS, and stay on it until your account is back in good standing.
What drives the cost
Number of years involved
A single notice on one tax year is a shorter engagement than resolving several years of unfiled returns and the balances behind them.
Type of resolution
A straightforward installment agreement takes less work than penalty abatement or a case that requires financial disclosure to the IRS.
Whether returns need filing first
If prior-year returns are missing, those have to be prepared before resolution can proceed, which adds preparation scope to the case.
How far collection has progressed
A notice answered early is simpler than one that's already reached lien or levy status, where the response is more urgent and more involved.
Every IRS resolution case is quoted after a short intake call, once we've seen the notice and pulled your account transcript to understand the years and amounts involved — there's no flat rate because no two cases carry the same scope.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on scope — answering a single notice costs less than resolving several years of unfiled returns and an outstanding balance. We quote after a short intake call once we've reviewed the notice and your IRS transcript, so you know the cost before any work starts.
Most notices carry a response deadline, often 30 days, after which the IRS can move ahead with the proposed change or with collection. The sooner you bring us the letter, the more options stay open — waiting is what narrows them.
Sometimes, through an Offer in Compromise, but only when the numbers genuinely support it. We won't promise a settlement to win the work — we review your actual finances and tell you honestly which options the IRS will consider.
We start there. The IRS won't approve most resolutions while returns are missing, so we prepare and file the outstanding years first, then move to resolving the balance.
Yes, and this is time-sensitive. There are ways to pause or release a levy once we're engaged and communicating with the IRS, but they depend on acting before the garnishment takes effect, so reach out as soon as you get the notice.
We do. Once you sign an authorization, we handle the correspondence and phone calls with the IRS on your behalf so you're not navigating their phone lines alone.
Texas has no state income tax, so most individual resolution work is federal. If your case involves Texas franchise tax or Comptroller notices for a business, we can address those alongside the federal matter.
Yes. We start by pulling your current IRS transcript to see where things actually stand, then pick up the case from there and take it the rest of the way.
