IRS representation and tax help in Nashville

Tyrone meets Nashville clients at 301 S Perimeter Park Dr, Suite 100, in the Luna Heights area, and only by appointment. Suite 100 is a flexible-workspace suite, so the office doesn’t take walk-ins. A first meeting is booked through the firm’s “New tax client” calendar or by calling (615) 953-7124.

Plenty of cases never need the office. As an Enrolled Agent, Tyrone is federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS, and once you sign Form 2848 he can pull your account transcripts, speak with the IRS employee assigned to your case and answer the letters in your place. The appointment is there for anyone who would rather sit down and go through the notices across a table.

The IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center at 801 Broadway, Nashville 37203, helps with some things, and it works by appointment, set up by calling 844-545-5640. It’s the only TAC in Middle Tennessee; the state’s others are in Chattanooga, Memphis, Jackson, Johnson City and Knoxville. The IRS warns that arriving more than 15 minutes late can cost you the appointment.

A levy, a recorded lien or a balance you can’t pay is a different kind of job. It calls for someone who reads your transcripts, works out your collection deadlines and negotiates with the IRS for you. Tyrone does that as IRS representation for Nashville taxpayers, whether the account sits with the Automated Collection System or with a Revenue Officer assigned to the case.

A notice of federal tax lien on a Nashville home is recorded with the Metro Nashville-Davidson County Register of Deeds at 300 Deaderick St, Nashville 37201. Tennessee law puts it with the register of the county where the property sits (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-21-201(a)), and the Department of Revenue files its own lien notices in that office (§ 67-1-1403(b)).

A recorded lien doesn’t take money out of an account. A levy does, and its deadlines are short. A Final Notice of Intent to Levy, sent as Letter 1058 or LT11, gives you 30 days to ask for a Collection Due Process hearing. Once a bank levy hits, the bank holds the money 21 days before sending it on, and a wage levy keeps reaching each paycheck. Tyrone’s page on stopping an IRS bank levy or wage garnishment covers those dates.

Since February 1, 2025, Nashville’s combined sales tax has been 9.75%: 7% state, 2.25% local and a 0.5% Davidson County transit surcharge. For a shop that collects it, every $10,000 of taxable sales carries $975 owed to the Tennessee Department of Revenue, so a few missed returns grow into a real balance.

The state’s remedies are direct. If a Tennessee tax stays unpaid 10 days after notice and demand, the commissioner may levy “all property, and rights to property” (Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-1-1405). Tyrone represents taxpayers before state tax offices as well as the IRS, and the figures he works from come out of your books, which is why bookkeeping for Nashville businesses sits beside the representation work.
