IRS Tax Help for Alabama Business Owners
When the IRS is knocking, ignoring it only makes things worse. We step in to protect you, take over communications, and guide you toward resolution.
At The Law Shop Alabama, we know the pressure business owners feel when IRS letters and threats pile up. You’ve worked hard to build your company — the last thing you need is garnished wages, frozen accounts, or tax liens threatening everything you’ve built.
That’s where we come in. We help Alabama business owners stop IRS collections, resolve disputes, and put long-term systems in place so you can focus on running your company instead of fighting the IRS.
Common IRS Issues We Solve
Business owners come to us when the stress and uncertainty become too much to handle alone. Here are the most frequent IRS problems we resolve for our clients:
Back Taxes & IRS Debt Negotiation — whether from cash flow crunches or missed filings, we negotiate realistic solutions.
Wage Garnishment Relief — stop garnishments before they cripple your business or personal life.
Tax Liens & Levies — remove or resolve liens that threaten your property and credit.
Installment Agreements & Settlements — create manageable payment plans and explore settlement opportunities.
Penalty Abatement — reduce or eliminate IRS penalties that can double your debt.
Business Payroll Tax Problems — protect yourself and your company from payroll tax assessments and trust fund recovery penalties.
If you’re dealing with one of these issues — or more than one — we can step in immediately to stabilize the situation.
Stop Collections, Protect Your Assets
The IRS has powerful tools to collect what they believe you owe — garnishing wages, freezing bank accounts, and placing liens on property. The first step is stopping the damage.
Our team can:
Request immediate relief through a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing.
Negotiate temporary holds on IRS actions while your case is reviewed.
Protect your income, property, and business operations from aggressive collections.
When you’re up against the IRS, timing is everything. The sooner you act, the more options you have.
Collection Due Process Hearings: Your Right to be Heard
If the IRS has issued a lien or levy notice, you have the right to a CDP hearing. This is your opportunity to challenge the IRS’s actions and propose an alternative resolution.
At The Law Shop Alabama, we represent you at every step, including:
Filing a timely CDP hearing request to stop collections.
Presenting your financial and legal arguments.
Negotiating manageable alternatives such as installment agreements or settlements.
Most people don’t realize they have this right — and they lose valuable opportunities by ignoring deadlines. We make sure you’re heard.
Offer in Compromise: Settle for Less than You Owe
For taxpayers who qualify, the IRS’s Offer in Compromise (OIC) program can reduce your tax debt to a fraction of the original amount. But the process is complex, and not everyone is eligible.
We help you:
Evaluate if an OIC is a realistic option based on IRS criteria.
Prepare a strong application with accurate financial documentation.
Negotiate with the IRS to maximize your chances of approval.
Don’t fall for “pennies on the dollar” ads from national tax mills. We’ll give you an honest assessment and fight for the best resolution available to you.
Other IRS Relief Options
Even if an OIC isn’t the right fit, there are still pathways to relief. We regularly assist clients with:
Installment agreements to spread payments over time.
Currently not collectible status for those unable to pay now.
Penalty abatement requests for first-time mistakes or reasonable cause.
Appeals of IRS decisions that were unfair or incorrect.
Our job is to find the solution that fits your situation — not force you into a one-size-fits-all program.
Stop the IRS from Taking Over
The IRS has enormous power, but you still have rights. We act fast to:
Freeze levies and garnishments.
Take over communication with the IRS so you can focus on business.
Build a strategy tailored to your unique situation.
Many business owners wait too long, hoping the problem will fix itself. In reality, every day you wait makes the IRS more aggressive. The sooner we step in, the more options you have — and the better your chances for a favorable outcome.
A Smarter Approach for Busy Business Owners
We know how valuable your time is. Driving across town to sit in a lawyer’s office isn’t realistic when you’re managing a team, customers, and operations. That’s why The Law Shop is a virtual-first law firm:
Secure online meetings keep your case moving without extra commute time.
Digital updates and reminders mean you always know the next step.
We streamline the process so you can focus on running your business.
You get the personal attention of a boutique Alabama law firm combined with the efficiency of modern technology.
Beyond the Crisis: Staying Protected
IRS problems don’t end when today’s issue is resolved. Many business owners find themselves back in the same place a year later — unless they build long-term systems.
That’s why at The Law Shop, we don’t just fight fires. We help you:
Implement better accounting and reporting systems.
Stay compliant with payroll tax obligations.
Create processes that prevent IRS penalties before they happen.
Conduct annual IRS “health checks” to catch small issues before they become major problems.
This approach gives you peace of mind and helps ensure your business doesn’t get derailed by the IRS again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really negotiate my IRS debt down?
Sometimes. The IRS Offer in Compromise program allows some taxpayers to settle for less, but eligibility is strict. We’ll evaluate your case honestly and find the best available solution.
Can the IRS shut down my business?
Yes — through liens, levies, and payroll tax enforcement. That’s why quick action is critical. We help you protect your assets and keep operations running.
How fast can you stop a garnishment or levy?
In some cases, immediately. Once we take over communication, we can often freeze collection activity while we negotiate a resolution.
