Failure to File Tax Returns Failure to Pay Taxes

You have failed to file your tax returns or you owe money.

Laura Brown is a no judgment zone. In over 25 years of practice, she’s seen it all and fixed it all.

This type of tax problem doesn’t happen in a vacuum – it is the result of something else in your life: Business problems, the economy, the pandemic, medical issues, family problems, cash flow problems, an IRS or Mass Dept of Revenue audit, a divorce, bankruptcy, addiction, financial decisions, employee or partner embezzlement, marital problems, income stemming from criminal liability and jail.

The IRS and the Mass Department of Revenue are sending you notices or have started collection activity. An aggressive IRS Agent has come to your home or business.

What if I don’t have all my records? I can’t pay this.

There’s NO WAY I owe this much. I can’t sleep.

I’m scared to call the IRS.

Will they put a lien on my house or foreclose on it?

Will they suspend my license? Empty my bank accounts? Seize my business? Put me in jail?

It’s time to get front of this before it gets worse. Because it will. Fixing this problem yourself is overwhelming and time consuming. It becomes a second job.

The IRS and Massachusetts Department of Revenue have filled your mailbox with notices:

Some of these Notices give you right to appeal and with a short deadline. If you don’t file an appeal by the deadline, things WILL get worse, and you will lose your rights.
