IRS Help in Plano, TX: Representation and Tax Resolution from a Licensed CPA
An IRS notice can turn an ordinary Tuesday into a crisis. Whether you received a CP2000 underreported income letter, a collection notice for back taxes, or an audit notification, the worst thing you can do is ignore it. For Plano residents and business owners earning a median household income near $95,000, even a routine IRS inquiry can escalate quickly when wages, bank accounts, or federal tax liens are on the table. You need a licensed CPA who knows how to respond correctly and on time.

Our IRS Representation and Tax Resolution Services for Plano Clients
When you hire us, Al Freideman personally handles your case from the first phone call through final resolution. Here is exactly what our Plano clients receive:
- IRS notice review and response: We analyze every letter, determine what the IRS is actually requesting, and draft a timely, accurate response before any deadline passes.
- Audit defense: If you are selected for a correspondence, office, or field audit, we represent you directly with the IRS. You do not attend, and you do not answer questions without preparation.
- Back tax filing: Missing one or more years of returns is more common than people think. We prepare and file all delinquent returns, often reducing the assessed balance substantially once actual deductions are applied.
- Penalty abatement requests: The IRS grants first-time penalty abatement and reasonable cause relief regularly, but only when the request is documented properly. We handle the paperwork and correspondence.
- Installment agreements and payment plans: We negotiate IRS payment plans (including streamlined agreements for balances under,000) so you can resolve your debt in manageable monthly payments.
- Wage garnishment and bank levy release: If the IRS is already garnishing your paycheck or has levied your bank account, we contact the IRS immediately to negotiate a release and establish an alternative payment arrangement.
Why Plano Businesses and Residents Choose AG Freideman
30+ years of experience with the IRS: Al Freideman has represented taxpayers through audits, collections, and appeals for over three decades. Plano clients dealing with a stressful IRS situation get a CPA who has seen their exact problem dozens of times before and knows how to resolve it.
You work directly with a licensed CPA: Many Plano “tax relief” companies assign your case to an unlicensed associate or a call center. At AG Freideman, Al personally reviews every notice, prepares every response, and communicates directly with IRS agents on your behalf. That is the difference between a CPA practice and a tax relief factory.
Virtual appointments across all of Plano and DFW: Our office is on Preston Road in North Dallas, a quick drive south from Legacy West or downtown Plano. But most IRS representation work happens by phone, secure document upload, and video call. Whether you live near the Shops at Legacy or closer to the Texas A&M Plano campus on Alma Drive, we serve you without requiring a single office visit.
Transparent pricing with no surprises: IRS representation is billed at $200 per hour. We estimate total hours upfront based on the complexity of your case so you know what to expect. With 52 five-star Google reviews and zero negative reviews, our clients trust that we deliver real results for every dollar.
IRS Representation and Tax Resolution Questions from Plano Clients
I got an IRS letter at my Plano address. What do I do first?
Do not ignore it, and do not call the IRS yourself. Every IRS notice includes a response deadline (typically 30 days). Contact us immediately so we can review the letter, determine what the IRS wants, and respond correctly. Many Plano clients make their situation worse by calling the IRS without preparation and accidentally making admissions or agreeing to amounts they do not owe.
Can you stop IRS wage garnishment on my Plano paycheck?
Yes. An IRS wage levy can take up to 75% of your disposable income. Once you engage us, we contact the IRS to request a levy release and propose an alternative collection arrangement such as an installment agreement. In many cases, we can get the garnishment stopped within days. Plano professionals at Toyota, JPMorgan, and other large employers sometimes first learn about an IRS issue when payroll notifies them of the levy. That is often when they call us.
How do IRS payment plans work?
The IRS offers several installment agreement options. If you owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest, you may qualify for a streamlined installment agreement without providing detailed financial disclosure. For larger balances, we prepare a full Collection Information Statement (Form 433-A or 433-B) and negotiate terms. Monthly payments are based on your income, expenses, and asset equity. We handle the entire negotiation.
How much does IRS representation cost in Plano?
Our IRS representation rate is $200 per hour. A simple notice response might take two to three hours. A full audit defense or back tax resolution involving multiple years will require more time. We provide a realistic estimate before work begins so there are no surprises. Compare that to “tax relief” companies that charge $3,000 to $7,000 upfront with no guarantee of results.
I haven’t filed taxes in several years. Will the IRS come after me in Texas?
Yes. Although Texas has no state income tax, federal filing requirements apply to every Plano resident and business. The IRS can file a Substitute for Return on your behalf, which almost always results in a higher balance because it includes none of your deductions or credits. We prepare and file all missing returns using your actual data, which typically reduces the amount owed significantly. Once returns are filed, we negotiate any remaining balance through a payment plan or penalty abatement.
Do I need to come to your office for IRS help?
No. Nearly all IRS representation is handled remotely. You upload documents securely, and we communicate by phone, email, or video. Our Preston Road office is about 15 minutes south of Plano’s Legacy West area if you prefer an in-person meeting, but it is never required.
