Our service fees depend on the complexity of your specific situation the number of tax years involved, the resolution programs required, and the level of IRS representation your case demands. We begin with a free review of your IRS records and financial details. After that review, your dedicated tax resolution professional presents a clear resolution plan along with a single, all-inclusive service fee to resolve your case.

There is no obligation to proceed unless you accept the plan, and we offer payment arrangements so you can spread your fees across the duration of your case. There are no hourly rates and no surprise charges.

Timelines vary depending on the nature and complexity of your tax problem. A First-Time Penalty Abatement request under Form 843 can often be resolved within a few weeks. Setting up a Streamlined Installment Agreement under Form 9465 typically takes 30 to 60 days. An Offer in Compromise submitted on Form 656 takes an average of 6 to 12 months for the IRS to process and determine.

Audit representation timelines depend on the scope of the examination and whether an appeal is involved. Your tax resolution specialist provides a realistic timeline estimate based on your specific situation, not a generic promise. Throughout the process, we handle all IRS communication so you are never left waiting without answers.

You are assigned a dedicated member advocate who manages your case from the initial consultation through final IRS resolution. Your advocate works closely with Karme's team of enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax advisors to build and execute your resolution strategy. You have direct access to your advocate throughout the process someone who knows your file, understands your situation, and communicates with the IRS on your behalf under proper Power of Attorney authorization. You will not be passed between departments or handed off to someone unfamiliar with your case. Call Us Today.

The term tax relief can create unrealistic expectations. Not every tax debt qualifies for a large reduction. Our approach is different because we evaluate your actual financial situation first. We review your returns for accuracy, check every penalty relief option, and pursue an Offer in Compromise under Form 656 only when you genuinely qualify. If a path to reducing what you owe exists, we pursue it. If it does not, we tell you honestly and focus on the best available option. Call Us Today.

If you cannot pay immediately, the IRS offers several options. Depending on your income, expenses, and assets, you may qualify for a monthly Installment Agreement under Form 9465, a Partial Payment Installment Agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, or an Offer in Compromise under Form 656. Our tax resolution experts review your full financial picture and identify which programs apply to your situation before recommending a path forward. Call Us Today.

The IRS typically focuses on the most recent six years of unfiled returns. Once taxes are assessed, the IRS generally has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect — this is the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED). For unfiled returns, that clock never starts until a return is filed or the IRS makes an assessment. During that window you are exposed to federal tax liens, bank levies, wage garnishments, difficulty obtaining loans, and passport revocation for balances exceeding $62,000. Call Us Today.
