Back tax help with a clear next step
A balance from a past tax year can leave you wondering where to begin. Start by finding out what the IRS says you owe, which years are involved, and whether all required returns have been filed.
Understand the balance before choosing a solution
An IRS balance can include tax, penalties, and interest. Bring the most recent notice and any records of payments or previously filed returns to the discussion. If you disagree with the balance, explain what appears wrong instead of assuming that a payment plan is the only next step.
At McNeel CPA, the first conversation focuses on your notices, filing history, and goals. After engagement and authorization, William K. McNeel, EA, can help review the federal tax matter and discuss a response based on your circumstances.
Match the next step to your situation
- Missing returns: identify the years and records needed to address filing obligations.
- A balance you can pay over time: review whether an IRS payment arrangement fits your situation.
- A disputed amount: organize the notice, return, and supporting records for review.
- Financial difficulty: discuss the facts before considering whether another resolution option may apply.
Keep the current year in the conversation
Resolving an older balance is only part of the work. Tell us about changes in employment, self-employment income, withholding, or estimated payments so we can discuss how the current year fits into your plan. Federal IRS help is available by phone or video for clients throughout the United States.
Common questions
Can I get help if I cannot pay the full balance today?
Yes. The consultation can help identify what needs to be reviewed. IRS payment arrangements may be available, but eligibility and terms depend on your account and circumstances.
Does hiring a representative erase my tax debt?
No. Representation helps you address the matter and evaluate available options. It does not guarantee a lower balance or a particular IRS decision.
Can you work with me outside Mississippi?
Yes. William K. McNeel, EA, provides federal IRS representation nationwide after engagement and authorization. State tax matters are discussed separately before work begins.
