The letter decoder
Which letter did you get, and how long do you have?
Each IRS notice starts a different clock. Pick yours to see what it means and the deadline it sets. General information; your own case depends on its facts.
Final Notice of Intent to Levy
This is the warning, not the levy. Filed on time, a Collection Due Process request can pause collection while the case is heard. Note the date printed on the letter: the 30 days run from it.
What to do nextYour bank froze the account
Under 26 U.S.C. § 6332(c) the bank waits 21 days before the money goes to the IRS. That window is the time to ask for a release, on hardship or by putting a resolution in place.
What to do nextYour paycheck shrank
A wage levy has no 21-day hold. It keeps taking from every check until the debt is paid, the levy is released, or another resolution replaces it.
What to do nextThe IRS has no return for a year
Policy Statement 5-133 generally limits delinquent-return enforcement to six years. If the IRS already filed a substitute return for you, replacing it with your own is usually the first job.
What to do nextSomeone from the IRS called or came by
A Revenue Officer is a member of the IRS’s field collection staff, and large balances are the cases most likely to get one. The officer’s requests usually include financial statements on Form 433-A or 433-B. Representation starts with Form 2848.
What to do nextWhat Tyrone handles
This is not basic tax preparation
The practice is built around one thing: representing taxpayers in front of the Internal Revenue Service and state tax offices. The tax, bookkeeping and business work exists to keep clients out of that position.

The Enrolled Agent
Who will be talking to the IRS for you?
Tyrone J. Taylor, EA. He has about 20 years in the tax profession, more than 13 of them as an Enrolled Agent, the credential the IRS itself grants to people it authorizes to represent taxpayers. He works directly with Automated Collection System staff and with Revenue Officers, and he has helped hundreds of taxpayers settle their accounts with the IRS and the states.
He has also worked with dozens of other tax professionals whose clients needed help with the IRS. He founded Pro Tax Education, a continuing-education provider that taught preparers how to represent their own clients before the IRS, and he is a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute.
“Our approach begins with understanding the taxpayer’s complete situation—not simply recommending an Offer in Compromise or installment agreement before reviewing the facts.”

How a case runs
What happens after you call?
Five steps, in the order the firm works them. The resolution comes fourth, after the facts are on the table.
-
Case evaluation
What the IRS problem is, what collection is already happening, and which part of the IRS has the account: the Automated Collection System or a Revenue Officer.
-
Authorization and transcripts
Usually Form 2848 first. Then the account transcripts, the balances, the filing gaps, the penalties and the Collection Statute Expiration Date for each year.
-
Financial and compliance review
Income, expenses, assets and filing status. Forms 433-A, 433-B or 433-F are prepared or reviewed when the IRS needs them.
-
Representation and strategy
An installment agreement, an Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, penalty relief or another remedy, negotiated with the IRS staff assigned to the case.
-
Staying out of collection
What it takes to keep the resolution: returns filed on time, estimated payments, payroll deposits current, the agreement kept.
“Our objective is not simply to address today’s IRS problem, but to help taxpayers understand how to avoid returning to the collection process.”

Answers
Questions people ask before they call
What is an Enrolled Agent, and what can one do for me with the IRS?
An Enrolled Agent is a tax practitioner authorized by the IRS with unlimited practice rights, the same as attorneys and CPAs: any taxpayer, any tax matter, any IRS office. Tyrone J. Taylor has been an Enrolled Agent since 2013 and is a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute.
Does Taylor Tax work with clients outside Tennessee?
Yes. The office is in Nashville and the firm’s focus is Tennessee and Kentucky, but it represents taxpayers locally and throughout the United States. Federal representation doesn’t depend on where you live, because an Enrolled Agent can appear before any IRS office in any state.
What should I bring to a first review of an IRS problem?
Every IRS letter and notice you have, newest on top, with the dates they arrived, plus copies of the last returns you filed and anything showing a levy already running, such as a bank hold or a pay stub. The first step is learning which IRS office has the case and which deadline is closest.
Can Tyrone help a client of another tax professional?
Yes. Over the years he has worked with dozens of tax professionals whose clients needed help with tax problems, and he founded Pro Tax Education to teach other professionals IRS representation. A Form 2848 can name more than one representative, so a client’s own preparer can be listed alongside him.
Can I walk in to the Taylor Tax office in Nashville?
Meetings are by appointment. The office is at 301 S Perimeter Park Dr, Suite 100, Nashville, TN 37211, in a shared workspace building, so book a time first through the firm’s online scheduler or by calling (615) 953-7124 before you come in.
What happens after I sign IRS Form 2848?
The IRS generally records the power of attorney on its Centralized Authorization File. From then on your representative can receive and inspect your confidential tax information and act for you on the matters and years listed, and receives copies of IRS notices if that box is checked. You still sign your own returns.
