Our IRS Representation and Tax Resolution Services for Garland Clients
When you hire AG Freideman for IRS representation, you get a licensed CPA standing between you and the IRS. Every case is different, but here is exactly what Garland clients can expect:
- IRS notice review and response: We analyze every letter the IRS sends you, explain what it means in plain English, and draft the formal response on your behalf before any deadline passes.
- Audit defense and examination support: If the IRS selects your return for audit, Al represents you directly with the examiner. You do not attend the audit yourself unless we determine your presence would help the case.
- Back tax filing: Garland residents who have unfiled returns from prior years face mounting penalties and potential criminal referral. We prepare and file all delinquent returns to bring your account current with the IRS.
- Installment agreements and payment plans: We negotiate structured monthly payment plans with the IRS so you can resolve your balance without liquidating assets or draining your savings.
- Penalty abatement requests: The IRS grants penalty relief in qualifying situations, including first-time abatement and reasonable cause. We identify which relief programs apply to your Garland tax situation and file the formal request.
- Wage garnishment and bank levy release: If the IRS is already garnishing your wages or has levied your bank account, we act quickly to negotiate a release and establish an alternative resolution.

IRS Representation and Tax Resolution Questions from Garland Clients
I got an IRS letter at my Garland address. What do I do first?
Do not ignore it, and do not call the IRS yourself. Every IRS notice has a response deadline, typically 30 days. Contact a licensed CPA immediately. We review the notice, explain your options, and respond to the IRS on your behalf before the deadline. This protects your rights and often prevents the situation from escalating to collections or audit.
Can you stop IRS wage garnishment for Garland workers?
Yes. The IRS can garnish wages without a court order, and many Garland employees discover this when their paycheck is suddenly reduced. We contact the IRS to negotiate a release of the garnishment, typically by establishing an installment agreement or demonstrating financial hardship. In most cases, we can get active garnishments released within days of engagement.
How do IRS payment plans work?
The IRS offers several installment agreement options. If you owe $50,000 or less, you may qualify for a streamlined installment agreement with monthly payments spread over up to 72 months. For larger balances, we negotiate directly with an IRS revenue officer. Garland business owners with payroll tax debt have additional options we can walk you through. Interest continues to accrue during the plan, so settling sooner saves money.
How much does IRS representation cost in Garland?
Our IRS representation rate is $200 per hour. The total cost depends on the complexity of your case. A straightforward notice response might take two to three hours. Audit defense or negotiating an installment agreement on back taxes typically requires more time. We discuss expected hours upfront during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
Do I need a CPA or can I handle the IRS myself?
You have the right to represent yourself, but the IRS is a trained negotiator and you are not. A licensed CPA understands IRS procedures, knows which penalty relief programs you qualify for, and communicates in the language the IRS expects. Garland clients who try to resolve issues alone often agree to payment terms that are more aggressive than necessary or miss abatement opportunities worth thousands of dollars.
What if I have unfiled tax returns from previous years?
Unfiled returns are one of the most common IRS problems we resolve for Garland clients. The IRS may have already filed a substitute return on your behalf, usually without any deductions or credits in your favor. We prepare the correct returns, claim all deductions you are entitled to, and submit them with a cover letter requesting penalty abatement where applicable.
