asked questions

  • WHAT DOES TAX RELIEF MEAN, AND HOW CAN IT HELP IN MY SITUATION?

    Tax relief refers to IRS or state programs that help taxpayers resolve or reduce their tax debt. At In-Sync Accounting & Consulting, we help you understand your options and guide you through every step — from stopping aggressive IRS actions to negotiating affordable settlements.



  • How does the tax relief process work with In-Sync?

    We simplify a complex process into five steps:


    1. Initial Consultation – Free and confidential.
    2. Investigation – We research your tax records, request transcripts, and assess your best options.
    3. Compliance – We prepare tax returns, bookkeeping, and other required documents.
    4. Resolution & Negotiation – We work directly with the IRS to secure the best possible settlement or payment plan.
    5. Ongoing Compliance – We monitor your transcripts and keep you on track year after year.


  • HOW LONG DOES TAX RESOLUTION TYPICALLY TAKE?

    Tax resolution typically takes between 2 to 12+ months, depending on the complexity of your case and how responsive you are in providing documents. Once we begin your case, we’ll keep you updated with realistic timelines and expectations.

  • CAN IN-SYNC HELP REDUCE MY TAX DEBT?

    Every case is different. While we can’t guarantee savings, our goal is to get you the best outcome allowed by law. We’ve helped clients reduce penalties, stop wage garnishments, qualify for settlements, and enter manageable payment plans. After your case evaluation, we’ll explain what options you're eligible for.

  • WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION PHASE?

    The investigation phase is the foundation of your entire tax relief case. This is where we take a deep dive into your situation to uncover the full scope of your tax issues and design the best strategy moving forward. Everyone must go through this initial phase. It Includes:


    This phase allows us to:

    1. Obtain authority to speak to the IRS
    2. Identify enforcement risks
    3. Review your IRS records
    4. Outline a strategy for resolution

    Goal of Phase 1 - To give you a clear picture of your tax standing with the IRS & create a step by step plan to resolve your tax debt in the most favorable way possible.
