Pricing Explained
Every tax situation is different — and so is the amount of work involved.
My fees are based on the complexity of your case, not just a flat “one size fits all” number.
Individual cases generally fall on the lower end, while business or payroll tax matters typically involve more in-depth analysis and documentation, and are priced accordingly. You’ll always know your exact cost before any work begins.
My Three-Step Process: Consultation, Investigation, Resolution
My goal is to help you understand your IRS situation, prepare everything correctly the first time, and help you move forward with confidence.
Consultation
Every case begins with a free, no-obligation consultation.
We’ll discuss your situation, review your concerns, and outline the options that may be available to you. You’ll get honest feedback — so you can decide with confidence whether professional assistance makes sense for your case.
Cost: Free
This initial conversation helps determine the scope of your case and ensures you understand the process, timeline, and potential outcomes before any work begins.
Investigation
If you decide to move forward, I’ll begin by gathering and reviewing your IRS records, account transcripts, and financial information.
This investigation phase provides a complete picture of your standing with the IRS — confirming balances, identifying compliance issues, determining if collection statutes are accurate, reviewing potential upcoming audit issues and outlining your best options for resolution, whether that’s an Offer in Compromise, payment plan, or penalty relief.
Fee determined after free consultation.
This covers transcript analysis, a compliance check, financial analysis as well as a written summary of your best resolution options.
Resolution
Once there is a clear understanding of your position with the IRS, I prepare all financial analyses, documentation, and submission materials needed to pursue resolution.
This includes assistance with Offer in Compromise requests, Installment Agreements, Currently Not Collectible determinations, and penalty-abatement requests.
Fee determined after investigation stage.
I guide you through each step, explain your options, and prepare all materials needed for submission directly to the IRS.

Service Disclosure (Pre-Enrolled Agent Status)
Aspen’s Tax Resolution Services LLC provides tax consulting, education, and document-preparation services to help taxpayers understand and address IRS collection matters.
At this time, I do not offer formal representation before the IRS, which includes signing Form 2848 Power of Attorney or independently contacting the IRS on a client’s behalf. However, I can participate in phone calls with the IRS with the client present and authorizing me during the call, allowing me to help explain issues, ask questions, and guide the conversation. Full representation—where I may speak to the IRS without the client present—will be available once I obtain Enrolled Agent status from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
All advice and assistance are based on publicly available IRS procedures, guidance, and best practices in tax resolution.
Resolution Types
Every taxpayer’s situation is different, and the right path depends on your financial circumstances, tax type, and compliance history.
I help clients resolve their IRS issues through a range of proven options, including:
-
Offer in Compromise (OIC) – Settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed when paying in full would cause financial hardship.
-
Installment Agreements (Payment Plans) – Establish an affordable monthly payment arrangement with the IRS.
-
Partial Payment Installment Agreement (PPIA) – Pay less than the full balance over time if full payment isn’t possible.
-
Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status – Pause IRS collection actions when you can’t afford to pay due to financial hardship.
-
Penalty Abatement – Request removal or reduction of IRS penalties for reasonable cause or first-time relief.
-
Innocent Spouse Relief – Protect yourself from joint tax liability caused by your spouse’s or ex-spouse’s error or omission.
-
Injured Spouse Relief – Recover your portion of a joint tax refund that was applied to your spouse’s debt.
-
Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) Defense – Assist business owners or responsible persons assessed personally for unpaid payroll taxes.
-
Lien Withdrawal, Discharge or Subordination – Remove or modify a tax lien to help with refinancing or property sale.
-
Levy Release – Stop or reverse IRS levies on wages, bank accounts, or property once resolution is in progress.
-
Doubt as to Liability Offer in Compromise – Resolve situations where the amount the IRS claims is owed is genuinely in dispute.
-
Audit Reconsideration – Reopen a past IRS audit when new information or documentation changes the outcome.
