What makes Nelson & Associates different from other tax relief companies?
We’re CPA-led and locally owned — not a high-pressure call center. You’ll work directly with an experienced, licensed tax professional who understands complex tax law, not a commissioned salesperson. We focus on real solutions, not empty promises.
Who do you help?
We primarily help small business owners, self-employed professionals, and individuals with serious IRS or state back tax issues. Most of our clients have tax debt of $10,000 or more and need immediate, practical solutions.
What is tax resolution?
Tax resolution means negotiating with the IRS or state tax agencies on your behalf to reduce or restructure what you owe — whether that’s through an Offer in Compromise, an Installment Agreement, penalty abatement, or stopping levies and garnishments.
Can you really settle my tax debt for less than I owe?
In some cases, yes — but not everyone qualifies. The IRS’s Offer in Compromise program allows you to settle for less if you truly cannot afford to pay the full amount. As licensed CPAs, we’ll carefully review your situation and be honest about what’s realistic.
How long does the tax resolution process take?
Every case is different, but many clients see relief — like wage garnishments lifted or payment plans in place — within weeks. Full settlements or Offers in Compromise can take several months depending on IRS processing times.
How much do your services cost?
Your initial consultation is completely free. If you move forward, we’ll quote you a fair, flat fee based on your unique situation. You’ll know the full cost upfront — no hidden charges or surprise bills.
What if I haven’t filed tax returns in years?
You’re not alone — and we can help. We’ll get your missing returns filed and get you back into compliance so you can avoid further penalties and interest.
Will you deal directly with the IRS for me?
You’re not alone — and we can help. We’ll get your missing returns filed and get you back into compliance so you can avoid further penalties and interest.
Is my information confidential?
Absolutely. Your privacy is protected by law and by our professional standards. We handle every case discreetly, with no judgment.
