How It Works
Getting help with an IRS problem takes three steps
Tell us where you are and what happened
A levy, a notice you do not understand, years of unfiled returns, or a balance you cannot pay. Search by city or state and by the problem itself.
Compare real credentials
Every listing shows license type, the states they cover, years in practice, the services they actually handle, and reviews from their own clients.
Answer a few questions and connect
A short set of questions makes sure the professional is a genuine fit for your situation before you book time. It saves everyone a wasted call.

What Makes a Certified Taxpayer Representative™ Different
CTR™ is a designation awarded by the Tax Resolution Academy® to licensed professionals who go beyond basic licensure: a full curriculum in IRS representation, documented casework, and a proctored examination. It is not a government license and it is not issued by the IRS. It is evidence of specific training in collections, examination, and appeals rather than in tax preparation alone.
- Completed advanced training in IRS representation, collections, and tax controversy
- Documented real casework in offers in compromise, installment agreements, levy and lien resolution, and audit defense
- Verified and approved through the Tax Resolution Academy certification review
- Listed first in search results, ahead of all other members
Start With the Problem You Have
Each of these explains how the IRS actually handles the matter, what your options are, and who in the directory works on it.
- Levy and Garnishment ReleaseMoney already being pulled from your paycheck or bank account gets released, often within days, so you can cover your household again.
- Unfiled and Back Tax Return ComplianceYears of missing returns get filed correctly and in the right order, which is the step that unlocks every other resolution option.
- Offer in CompromiseWhen you genuinely cannot pay the full balance, this settles the debt for less than what you owe and closes the account for good.
- Installment Agreement NegotiationYour balance gets converted into a monthly payment you can actually live with, and the collection calls stop while it stays current.
- Penalty Abatement (First Time and Reasonable Cause)Penalties that ballooned your balance get removed when you had a clean history or a legitimate reason you fell behind.
- Federal Tax Lien Withdrawal, Discharge, or SubordinationThe lien stops blocking your ability to sell your home, close a refinance, or get approved for business credit.
- Currently Not Collectible StatusWhen paying anything would leave you short on rent, food, or medicine, the IRS is required to back off and pause collection entirely.
- Innocent Spouse ReliefSeparates you from a tax debt your spouse or former spouse created, so their decisions stop following you.
