A letter from the IRS or the New Jersey Division of Taxation is unsettling, but it is rarely as bad as it looks. As a New Jersey firm, we work with the Division of Taxation constantly, and we have regularly saved clients thousands of dollars on notices, penalties, and assessments at both the federal and state level.
When you call us, you reach the people doing the actual work, not a call center.

You've seen the TV and radio ads promising to settle your tax debt for "pennies on the dollar." What they don't tell you is how they operate, and who actually ends up doing your work.
When you work with IFS, there is no "who is actually handling my case?" The answer is simple: we are.
Because we're based in Northfield, dealing with the New Jersey Division of Taxation is part of our ordinary course of business, not an occasional exception.
State notices have their own rules, their own deadlines, and their own people, and they don't always line up with how the IRS operates. We know how the Division handles assessments, how to respond to its notices correctly, and how to work with its representatives to reach a resolution, the same way we do every week.
From a single confusing letter to complex matters spanning several years, we work directly with the IRS and state taxing authorities on your behalf.
CP2000s, balance due letters, math error notices, and underreporting assessments, reviewed, verified, and responded to correctly.
Requesting removal or reduction of failure to file and failure to pay penalties through reasonable cause and first time abatement relief.
Full representation through IRS and state audits so you never have to face the examiner alone or hand over more than required.
Bringing delinquent filings current and resolving outstanding balances before they escalate into collection action.
Responding to enforced collection, including bank levies, wage garnishments, and tax liens, and working to release them.
Negotiating installment agreements and, where you genuinely qualify, exploring offers in compromise, honestly assessed.
No mystery, no runaround. Here is exactly what working with us looks like.
Forward us the letter you received. We review it the same way we'd review our own, line by line.
We tell you what it actually means, what's at stake, and what a realistic outcome looks like, before any work begins.
With your authorization, our CPAs and Enrolled Agents contact and work with the taxing authority directly on your behalf.
We pursue the best result available, then walk you through it so you understand exactly how it was resolved.
Send us your notice and we'll tell you, honestly, where you stand and how we can help. The sooner we see it, the more options you have.
