How We Help
When tax problems surface, you need a plan you can trust and a representative who can execute. IQ Tax handles audits, collections, back‑tax issues, and complex resolutions for individuals and small businesses. Explore our core services below.
Nationwide reach, file POA. We talk to the IRS so you no longer have to. POA gives us the keys to drive and handle the issue entirely with the IRS and state on your behalf.
Individual Services
Tax Debt Relief
When to choose: You owe more than you can pay.
What we do: Determine the best path—Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreement, or Currently Not Collectible (CNC)—and prepare/submit your case.
Learn more →Offer in Compromise (OIC)
Potentially settle for less than the full amount when facts qualify. We calculate your reasonable collection potential (RCP) and assemble a complete, defensible submission.
Learn more →Installment Agreements (IA)
If full payment isn't feasible now, we negotiate a monthly plan that fits IRS acceptance criteria and your budget.
Learn more →Penalty Abatement
Reduce or remove penalties when first‑time abatement or reasonable cause applies (illness, disasters, reliance, etc.).
Learn more →IRS Audit Defense
When to choose: You received a CP2000, Letter 566/525, or an audit appointment.
What we do: Manage all examiner communications, prep documentation, represent you at meetings, and pursue appeals if needed.
Learn more →Innocent Spouse Relief
When joint return issues aren't your fault, we evaluate eligibility and file relief under the appropriate provision.
Learn more →Levy & Lien Assistance
Stop garnishments and bank levies where possible and request lien withdrawal, subordination, or discharge when eligible.
Learn more →Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns
Catch up the right way. We secure transcripts, reconstruct records, and file accurate returns that support your resolution strategy.
Learn more →Tax Compliance Package & Monitoring
Like "credit monitoring for federal tax" - we maintain access to federal tax compliance, detect issues early before IRS letters are sent, and alert clients of compliance risks, errors, and balances.
Learn more →State & Local Tax Support
Handle Pennsylvania and Philadelphia-specific issues including Net Profits Tax problems that can hold up real estate transactions, plus Sales Tax Debts & Audits for PA businesses.
Learn more →Business Services

| Situation | Likely Options | Typical Goal |
|---|---|---|
| You can't afford the balance at all | Offer in Compromise or CNC | Reduce/temporarily suspend collection |
| You can afford monthly payments | Installment Agreement | Affordable plan, avoid enforcement |
| You received an audit notice | Audit Defense (with Appeals if needed) | Limit changes, resolve quickly |
| Penalties inflated the balance | Penalty Abatement | Reduce total due |
| Spouse/partner caused the problem | Innocent Spouse Relief | Remove your liability |
