Irving's Las Colinas corridor holds ten Fortune 500 global headquarters in a few square miles, and the kinds of compensation those companies pay create some of the most complex federal tax situations in North Texas. Executives who relocated from California and Connecticut with McKesson, Kimberly-Clark, and Fluor received signing bonuses, equity acceleration events, and multi-state income in the same year, all of which require precise planning that does not always happen. ExxonMobil and Pioneer Natural Resources employees receive commodity-linked bonuses and stock grants that can produce a year-end tax spike far above what was withheld. Citigroup's 6,500 Irving employees in banking and finance carry variable compensation that swings significantly from year to year. Fluor engineers on international project assignments generate foreign-source income and per diem structures that are easy to misfile. And outside the corporate campuses, across one of the most diverse cities in Texas, thousands of small-business owners run restaurants, trucking operations, and service firms where quarterly tax payments and payroll filings fall behind. Anthem Tax Services resolves federal IRS debt for Irving residents and businesses. Our practice is built entirely on IRS tax debt relief, and you can read about us before deciding anything.

Resolving Federal Tax Debt in Irving

A federal tax balance that is not addressed expands. Month after month, interest compounds on the original amount and penalties grow on top of both, and the IRS notices graduate from billing reminders into genuine warnings about seizing wages and accounts. Anthem cuts that progression off. We file authorization with the IRS, redirecting every call and letter away from you. With that in place, we work through your income and what you owe and put together a resolution your actual finances can handle, with one licensed professional on the case from start to finish.

IRS Warning Signs That Cannot Be Ignored

The IRS works through a predictable sequence of warnings before moving to enforcement. If any of these describes your situation, it is time to respond.

• IRS letters have arrived in sequence, beginning with a CP14 and running through a CP503 and CP504 to a final LT11, each step advancing the debt toward the agency's power to enforce collection.
• Your employer received a wage levy notice and the IRS now automatically withholds a share of each paycheck.
• A bank account levy landed on your account and froze the funds, leaving a narrow window before the IRS claims them.
• More than a year of federal taxes is unpaid and the total rises each month under accumulating interest and penalties.
• One or more tax years were never filed, which closes the door on most IRS relief programs.
• The IRS recorded a federal tax lien against Irving property you own, placing that legal claim on your title in the public record.

The Paths the IRS Will Not Mention

The IRS notice you received names a balance and a deadline, nothing more. Federal law provides several ways to reduce that balance, suspend collection, or close the debt for less than the stated amount, but the agency is under no obligation to explain any of that. Those options live in the tax code and the IRS's internal procedures. Finding the one that fits your circumstances and making the most compelling case for it is what we do.

Irving and Las Colinas Clients We Serve

• Corporate relocatees from California, Connecticut, and other states who arrived with multi-year back-tax situations tied to income earned while living and working elsewhere.
• Citigroup, Allstate, and Verizon employees in banking, insurance, and telecommunications whose variable compensation and bonuses swing materially from year to year.
• Fluor and other engineering firm employees on international project assignments who mix domestic W-2 income with foreign-source earnings and per diem payments.

How Anthem Resolves IRS Problems

Filing the Returns You Have Not Filed

No IRS resolution begins while returns are missing. We request your income transcripts from the agency, reconstruct the records that no longer exist, and file accurate returns for each skipped year, generally the six years the IRS expects before treating an account as current. Getting the filings right often brings the balance down on its own, since the IRS's substitute returns left out every deduction and credit you had coming. Our unfiled returns service takes care of it.

Pausing Collection Through Currently Not Collectible Status

When paying the IRS would leave too little for rent and basic living costs, the agency may place your account in Currently Not Collectible status and withdraw from enforcement. Any levy or garnishment is released and the balance is shelved until your situation improves. For an Irving business owner in a slow stretch, a corporate employee navigating a layoff, or anyone hit by an unexpected expense, this pause is meaningful protection. The debt remains, but the IRS steps back. Find out whether Currently Not Collectible status applies.

Manageable Monthly Payments Through an Installment Agreement

When the full balance cannot be paid at once, an installment agreement turns it into monthly amounts the IRS accepts instead of a lump sum. We negotiate the monthly payment down from the agency's starting figure to something your actual cash flow can handle, and direct debit also preserves access to Fresh Start lien withdrawal. For a finance professional whose income varies or a business owner whose cash is already committed, this is generally the most workable route. Consider an installment agreement.

Settling for Less Through an Offer in Compromise

A qualifying taxpayer can sometimes settle a federal balance through an Offer in Compromise for a fraction of what is owed. The IRS examines your income, subtracts allowable living costs, accounts for what you own, and arrives at the most it could ever collect. Incomplete submissions come back rejected, so thoroughness in building the offer is what separates approval from denial. Anthem has closed significant balances for a small portion of the original amount. See if an Offer in Compromise is within reach.

Getting a Levy or Garnishment Released Fast

A wage levy or account freeze demands the fastest possible response. Once you retain us, we register authorization with the IRS, contact the agency, and push for a release while work on the resolution begins in parallel. A bank levy holds funds for 21 days before transferring them, so the day you discover it is the day to call. We work to lift a wage garnishment and lift an IRS levy.

What IRS Resolution Costs in Irving

The First Conversation Is Free

The opening consultation is free. A licensed specialist examines your balance, assesses where the IRS stands in its collection process, and tells you candidly which resolution options are genuinely available. You leave knowing the probable cost and approach before spending anything. No one pressures you to proceed.

A Single Flat Fee, Disclosed Upfront

A single flat fee is set before we start, and it does not change regardless of how the case unfolds or how long it takes. There is no hourly billing. When paying it all at once is not practical, we divide it into scheduled payments. Serious IRS help should be available to anyone who needs it, not just those who can produce a large payment upfront.

The Fee Against the Financial Outcome

The fee alone is not the right thing to look at. What counts is how much you retain when the case is done. When a $115,000 balance is reduced to roughly $13,000, or about $34,000 in penalties is cleared through abatement, the fee is a fraction of what you save. We run your own numbers at the consultation so the comparison is concrete.

Guaranteed or We Return the Fee

Every case comes with a guarantee. If the balance does not decrease and the repayment terms are not reworked, the fee is returned. Bookkeeping and tax preparation services and the minimum deposit are excluded. We stand behind it because the results across thousands of engagements have justified it.

Irving Neighborhoods and ZIP Codes We Cover

The type of federal tax issue we see in Irving shifts with the neighborhood and the work people do. We handle them all.

• Las Colinas: Home to corporate campuses and high-income professionals whose equity grants, relocation packages, and international project income generate the most complex federal tax situations in Irving.
• Valley Ranch: An established residential neighborhood popular with corporate employees and dual-income households that often combine salary, investment income, and side business earnings.
• Heritage District and Old Irving: The older core of the city, with a mix of long-established residents, tradespeople, and small-business owners who file as self-employed.
• North Irving and Hackberry Creek: Higher-value residential neighborhoods adjacent to DFW Airport, where aviation workers, logistics contractors, and corporate staff deal with multi-source income.
• South and West Irving: Dense, working-class areas with a large Hispanic and immigrant community, where small-business owners in restaurants, freight, and services face quarterly and payroll tax obligations.

IRS Audit Defense for Irving Taxpayers

An IRS audit notice lands with unmistakable gravity. Most Irving taxpayers do not immediately think to claim the professional representation they are entitled to before responding, and exercising that right before the first exchange changes the entire dynamic. Anthem manages IRS audits for Irving taxpayers from the initial letter to the final ruling.

Understanding What the Audit Involves

An examiner may press on particular deductions, call for receipts and bank records, or want documentation of income you reported for a year or two. Most proceed through letters and written exchanges and close without a face-to-face meeting. We handle the correspondence, get your records organized, and communicate with the examiner directly, aiming to contain the scope and wrap up the matter quickly.

The Rights That Protect You

The law gives you the right to professional representation, the right to understand why any record is being requested, and the right to contest a ruling you believe is wrong. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights sets out each of these protections explicitly. We enforce all of them so you never give up more than the law genuinely demands.

Why Irving Taxpayers Work With Anthem

Proven Results Across Tens of Thousands of Cases

More than 50,000 taxpayers nationally have brought back-tax problems to Anthem, and the firm has trimmed millions from those combined balances. The results are documented: Jeffrey Grolig walked away over $90,000 better off, Logan cut a $25,000 balance to $100, and Dr. Jorge Partida retained more than $25,000. Mindy settled tens of thousands for under a thousand dollars, and Michel Khlaif saved substantially on a $35,000 balance. See more client results.

Credentials That Hold Up to Scrutiny

Every Irving file is assigned to a licensed professional with genuine qualifications, not a call-center script. Billy Fauller III is an Enrolled Agent, a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist, and an NTPI Fellow who spent eight years as an IRS Revenue Officer inside federal collections. Anna Phan and Ken Bruns are both licensed tax attorneys with prior experience in government institutions. Melissa Northrup carries a Licensed Enrolled Agent credential and more than twenty years of practice. Learn more about the team.

An IRS Insider Perspective That Makes a Difference

Having a former IRS collector on your side alters what is achievable in a negotiation. Billy Fauller III's eight years as an IRS Revenue Officer chasing overdue accounts gave him direct knowledge of how the agency puts together its collection positions, what moves it toward escalation, and where the real room to negotiate sits. Every settlement and payment plan we build for Irving clients is shaped by that experience.

Federal Tax Lien Help for Irving Property Owners

A federal tax lien on Irving property ties the IRS's legal claim to your title in the public record. From that point, selling, refinancing, or using the property as collateral all become harder. In a Las Colinas and Irving market where home values vary widely, a lien creates real obstacles. More than one path typically exists to resolve it, and we identify which one fits your situation.

Clearing the Lien With a Full Withdrawal

Under Fresh Start, the IRS can fully pull a lien once a qualifying direct debit installment plan is in place and kept current. That withdrawal removes the public Notice of Federal Tax Lien from the record entirely, which is a better outcome than a release that closes the account but keeps the filing in place. We handle both the plan and the withdrawal filing.

What the Lien Means for Your Credit and Financing

Tax liens disappeared from credit bureau reporting years ago, but the filing itself remains in the public record. Title officers, lenders, and escrow companies search those records whenever a transaction is in motion, and a lien that surfaces can block the deal regardless of what your credit score shows. Clearing it provides financial flexibility no score improvement alone can deliver.

Transacting While a Lien Remains Active

When a closing or refinance must happen before the balance is settled, the IRS provides a discharge that lifts the lien from a single property so the deal can proceed, and a subordination that puts a refinancing lender ahead of the IRS in the payment order. We put the filings together and time them with the IRS so the lien does not get in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve areas outside Irving itself?

Yes. Our coverage includes Irving and extends through the surrounding DFW communities, including Grand Prairie, Coppell, Grapevine, Southlake, and Euless. Because the work is entirely remote, your specific location makes no practical difference to what you receive.

Texas has no state income tax. Does that affect my situation?

It does. With no personal income tax in Texas, the full weight of your tax problem falls on a single agency: the IRS. There is no parallel state resolution to manage at the same time, which keeps the focus clean and the process more direct for Irving clients.

I relocated here from another state and have unfiled returns. Can you help?

Yes, and this is among the most common situations we see in Irving given the volume of corporate relocatees. We address the federal gap by pulling transcripts, filling in the missing records, and filing correct returns. If a prior state also has a filing obligation, we can talk through how to handle that alongside the federal resolution.

Is everything really handled without meeting in person?

Yes. Everything runs by phone, email, and encrypted transfers, with no office visit required at any stage. Irving and Las Colinas clients receive the same professional quality they would get in person, delivered completely remotely.

What does it cost?

A flat fee, disclosed fully at the free consultation before you commit. Installments are available if one payment is not manageable. The money-back guarantee holds if the balance does not drop or the payment terms are not reworked, with the exception of bookkeeping, tax preparation services, and the minimum deposit.

How quickly can a garnishment or levy be stopped?

Same day. Once we are on record with the IRS, we contact the agency and press for a release while the resolution plan develops. A bank levy holds funds for 21 days before transferring them, so the day you learn of the levy is the day to reach us.
