#1 New Release - "Exposing the Secrets for IRS Settlements"
Back tax problems start when individuals or businesses miss filing deadlines, underpay estimated taxes, or fall behind on IRS payment demands. These aren’t simple late fees; the IRS treats unfiled returns as non-compliance, which triggers aggressive penalty structures and compressed enforcement timelines.
At Salinger Tax Consultants, we help with back taxes and step in immediately to stop the escalation. We file all missing returns accurately, negotiate directly with IRS Collections to pause levies, and resolve balances through payment plans, hardship status, or debt reduction when you qualify. This is what we do every day, and we’ve resolved hundreds of back tax cases just like yours.
Back taxes grow because the IRS layers charges that compound on each other, not just on the original back taxes owed.
This is why waiting often doubles or triples the debt before you act.
We stop the growth by filing missing returns immediately to freeze penalties, then negotiating relief on charges already assessed. The sooner we engage, the less you owe.
Ignoring IRS balance-due notices triggers a fast-moving enforcement sequence that escalates from warnings to active collection:
The IRS doesn’t negotiate seriously after levies hit; they’ve already gotten what they want. Personal liability assessments, once finalized, follow you for years even if the business closes. Your only real leverage exists right now, before the first account freeze.
We pull your IRS transcripts, calculate your actual exposure, and submit emergency relief requests to pause enforcement while we build your resolution. Most clients see IRS contact stop within days of us taking over.
Your case gets handled end-to-end by a former IRS Collections agent who knows exactly how Revenue Officers think, what they accept, and where real negotiation leverage exists.
| Unfiled Returns | Unpaid Taxes (Returns Filed) | Early-Stage Notices (CP501, CP503) | Late-Stage Notices (CP504, LT11) | |
| Your situation | You missed one or more filing deadlines. The IRS may have filed Substitute Returns using inflated estimates. | You filed on time but can't pay the balance. You're receiving balance-due notices. | First and second balance-due notices. No levy action yet. | Intent to levy was issued. Final notice sent. 30-day hearing window open. |
| The risk | No payment plans, no hardship status, no debt reduction available until you file. Penalties compound monthly. | Levies, liens, and wage garnishments deploy quickly. Interest and failure-to-pay penalties keep accruing. | Penalties and interest compound daily. The case moves toward enforcement if ignored. | Bank levies, wage garnishments, and account freezes can deploy within days after the 30-day window closes. |
| Our approach | Reconstruct filings from W-2s, 1099s, and bank statements. File accurate returns to stop penalties accrual and replace IRS estimates. | Negotiate installment agreements, Currently Not Collectible status, or Offers in Compromise based on your actual financials. | File a missing return immediately. Negotiate payment plans before enforcement escalates. | File Collection Due Process hearings to pause levies. Negotiate a resolution while collections stay frozen. |
| The outcome | Compliance restored. Resolution paths unlock. Debt often drops 30–50% once correct returns replace IRS estimates. | Collections paused. Payment terms matched to your cash flow. Lien withdrawals were negotiated where possible. | Resolution secured before levies deploy. Lower stress, more negotiation leverage. | Levies paused or released. Enforcement is halted while we build your payment arrangement. |
We pull your IRS transcripts, reconstruct your missing filings, and present your best payment options, all in a confidential strategy call with Peter Salinger, EA. You’ll know your exact balance, your resolution path, and your timeline before you commit to anything.
We help with back taxes, moving your case from crisis to resolution in three focused phases: file what’s missing, stop the enforcement, and lock in a payment plan you can actually meet.
We pull your IRS transcript before you call, so we already know every missing filing and collection action. We reconstruct your tax history from W-2s, 1099s, and bank statements, then file accurate returns that replace inflated IRS estimates. You get a clear compliance roadmap with deadlines and payment options, usually within 30 to 60 days.
Peter Salinger negotiates directly with your Revenue Officer to secure payment terms that fit your actual cash flow. We present financials in the format of collections approvals, speeding acceptance, and keeping levies paused. We pursue the fastest relief option: installment agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, or Offer in Compromise.
Once engaged, all IRS contacts go through us. We handle every deadline, file appeals if the IRS denies relief, and stay on your case until resolution is complete and compliance is locked in.
Not every back tax case needs the same solution. We match your path to your cash flow, asset position, and compliance history so you get the fastest relief with the least long-term damage.

Start With A Confidential Consultation
Back tax cases don’t follow a script. Some need emergency levy releases within 48 hours. Some face personal liability investigations. Some just need missing returns filed to stop the penalty bleed.
We don’t pitch a solution before we see your file. In a confidential call with Peter Salinger, EA, we provide back tax help, pull your IRS transcripts, review your notices live, and give you a straight answer: how fast we can stop collections, what your resolution path looks like, and what it will cost. No scripts, no handoffs, no surprises.
We submit emergency levy release requests the same day we’re engaged. Most clients see IRS contact stop within 48 to 72 hours once we notify the IRS we represent them. Full levy release requires filing missing returns and setting up a payment arrangement, but we act immediately to pause further collection action.
Most taxpayers we represent can’t. We negotiate installment agreements based on your actual cash flow, request Currently Not Collectible status if you’re in financial hardship, or pursue Offer in Compromise when you qualify for debt reduction. The IRS won’t consider these options until you file missing returns, we get you compliant first, then negotiate terms you can actually meet.
Filing missing returns usually takes 30 to 60 days. Payment plan approval takes 2 to 4 weeks after filings are current. Full resolution, whether through an installment agreement, CNC status, or Offer in Compromise, typically takes 3 to 9 months depending on IRS workload and case complexity.
Yes. Unfiled returns and unpaid tax balances lead to federal tax liens, which file publicly against your personal and business assets and damage your credit score. Lenders, title companies, and suppliers see these liens immediately, which can block loans, credit lines, and property sales. We negotiate lien withdrawals alongside payment plans, which removes the public record and stops further credit damage.
No. We reconstruct missing filings from your W-2s, 1099s, bank statements, and prior-year returns. Bring any IRS notices you have; we’ll pull your transcripts and guide you on reconstructing the rest.
We replace them with accurate filings based on your actual income and deductions. This often reduces the assessed balance because IRS estimates are intentionally conservative. Once we file correct returns, the IRS adjusts your balance, and we negotiate from the real number.

Peter was fantastic. I was really anxious about a large amount of taxes that I owed but couldn’t pay back immediately.
