About
Marc Dednah is an Enrolled Agent and NTPI Fellow specializing in IRS tax resolution and representation for individuals and small-business owners. As the owner of Marc Dednah EA in Lakeville, Massachusetts, he represents taxpayers facing collection problems, federal tax liens, unfiled returns, payroll tax concerns, and other complex IRS matters.
Marc begins each resolution engagement with a thorough investigation of the taxpayer’s IRS account, financial circumstances, and procedural options. He then develops a practical strategy tailored to the client’s situation, which may include an installment agreement, currently not collectible status, an offer in compromise, lien-related relief, penalty relief, or another appropriate resolution. His extensive background in tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, and small-business taxation enables him to evaluate both the immediate IRS problem and the underlying compliance issues that must be addressed for a lasting solution.
Marc has been a member of the National Association of Enrolled Agents since 2009, earned the designation of NTPI Fellow in 2012, and is an active member of Tax Resolution Academy. He serves clients remotely and is committed to providing responsive, personalized representation, clear explanations, and realistic guidance throughout the resolution process.
Services and Specialties
IRS Power of Attorney Representation (Form 2848)
You stop talking to the IRS directly, because a licensed representative steps in and handles every call, notice, and deadline on your behalf.
Offer in Compromise
When 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 Negotiation
Your balance gets converted into a monthly payment you can actually live with, and the collection calls stop while it stays current.
Partial Pay Installment Agreement
You pay only what your budget truly supports each month, and any balance still standing when the collection statute expires goes away.
Currently Not Collectible Status
When paying anything would leave you short on rent, food, or medicine, the IRS is required to back off and pause collection entirely.
Levy and Garnishment Release
Money already being pulled from your paycheck or bank account gets released, often within days, so you can cover your household again.
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 Subordination
The lien stops blocking your ability to sell your home, close a refinance, or get approved for business credit.
Unfiled and Back Tax Return Compliance
Years of missing returns get filed correctly and in the right order, which is the step that unlocks every other resolution option.
IRS Account Transcript Analysis
You get a clear written picture of exactly what the IRS has on file, what they think you owe, and how long they can legally collect it.
Substitute for Return (SFR) Reconsideration
The inflated return the IRS filed for you gets replaced with a real one, and the balance usually drops sharply.
Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) Analysis
You find out the date the debt legally expires, which sometimes means waiting is a far better strategy than paying.
Payroll Tax (941) Resolution
Keeps an unpaid payroll tax problem from escalating to the point where the business is shut down and the doors close.
Collection Due Process and Equivalent Hearings
Forces a formal, independent review before the IRS is allowed to levy, and buys real time to put a solution in place.
Collection Appeals Program (CAP) Representation
Gives you a fast appeal route when a lien or levy action is about to happen and waiting is not an option.
IRS Notice and Letter Response
Every notice gets answered accurately and on time, which is what keeps a small problem from turning into an enforced collection case.
Correspondence Audit Representation
The mail audit gets answered with the right documentation the first time, which is usually what keeps it from expanding.
CP2000 Underreporter Response
Challenges the matching notice line by line, and often the proposed balance drops to zero once the real basis is shown.
Audit Reconsideration
Reopens an audit you lost or never knew about, so an assessment built on missing records can finally be corrected.
Doubt as to Liability Offer in Compromise (Form 656-L)
For when the problem is not that you cannot pay, it is that you do not actually owe it, and this is the route to prove the assessment itself is wrong.
IRS Appeals Representation
Takes your case to an independent office with authority to settle, which is where most disputes actually get resolved.
Worker Classification and Section 530 Relief
Protects you from years of retroactive payroll tax when you had a reasonable basis for treating workers as contractors.
Employment Tax Examination Representation
Defends how you classified and paid your workers before a payroll assessment lands on the business.
State Income Tax Resolution
Handles a state balance with the same structure as an IRS case, because state agencies often move faster and hit harder.
Individual Tax Return Preparation (Form 1040)
Your return is prepared accurately and defensibly, with every deduction and credit you are legitimately entitled to claim.
Self Employed and Schedule C Return Preparation
Your business income and expenses are reported in a way that holds up, which matters because Schedule C draws extra attention.
Partnership Return Preparation (Form 1065)
Allocations and K-1s are prepared right and delivered on time, so your partners can file without chasing you.
S Corporation Return Preparation (Form 1120-S)
Reasonable compensation, basis, and distributions are documented properly, which is exactly where S corporation audits start.
C Corporation Return Preparation (Form 1120)
Your corporate return is filed accurately with the timing and elections that keep the overall tax bill down.
Non-Profit and Exempt Organization Return Preparation (Form 990)
Protects your exempt status and gives donors and grantors a clean public filing they can trust.
Amended Return Preparation (Form 1040-X)
Corrects a return that was wrong or incomplete, and often recovers a refund you did not know you were owed.
Prior Year and Delinquent Return Preparation
Gets every open year filed and brings you current, which is the requirement behind almost every resolution option.
Annual Tax Planning
Decisions get made before December 31, while you can still change the outcome instead of just reporting it.
Reasonable Compensation Studies
Sets and documents an owner salary that survives examination, which is the number S corporation audits turn on.
Catch Up and Clean Up Bookkeeping
Years of neglected or tangled records get rebuilt into something accurate enough to file and finance from.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Your books are current every month, so you are running the business on real numbers instead of guesses.
QuickBooks Setup, Cleanup, and Training
Your accounting system is set up correctly from the chart of accounts down, so the reports mean something.
Bank and Credit Card Reconciliation
Every account is tied out to the statement, which is how errors and missing transactions get caught early.
Payroll Processing
Your people are paid accurately and on time, and the tax deposits are made before they can become a problem.
Payroll Tax Deposit and Filing Compliance
Deposits and returns are filed on schedule, which is the single best protection against a payroll tax case.
