IRS Representation Services in New Jersey

Comprehensive IRS Representation Services for New Jersey Taxpayers

The IRS has significant authority to examine your tax returns, request additional information, and impose penalties if it finds discrepancies. We know this is stressful, and you don't have to face this alone. Our tax professionals serve as your authorized representative throughout the entire process, handling communication, documentation, and strategy so you can focus on your life and business.

• IRS Audit Representation

  

  When you receive notice of an IRS audit, your response determines the outcome. Our audit representation services protect New Jersey residents throughout every stage of the audit process. We prepare documentation, respond to auditor requests, represent you in meetings, and challenge incorrect findings. From simple correspondence audits conducted by mail to complex field audits at your business location, we help protect your taxpayer rights.

• Tax Court Representation

  

  If the IRS disputes your position and you disagree with their determination, the matter may proceed to tax court. At Demian & Company, LLC, our certified public accountants work alongside experienced tax attorneys to represent clients in U.S. Tax Court proceedings. We prepare petitions, gather evidence, and present your case to ensure you receive fair treatment under federal tax laws.

• Audit Appeals

  

  Disagree with an audit outcome? You have the right to appeal. Our team assists New Jersey taxpayers with filing appeals and presenting compelling cases to the IRS Appeals Office. We document errors, challenge improper calculations, and work to reduce or eliminate proposed tax liability, penalties, and interest before they’re finalized.

• Correspondence Audit Defense

  

  The most common type of IRS audit arrives by mail, requesting verification of specific items on your tax return. Our professionals respond to these correspondence audits efficiently, submitting requested documents, preparing explanations, and resolving issues without unnecessary delays or penalties.

• Field Audit Representation

  

  Field audits involve in-person meetings where IRS auditors examine your records at your home, business, or our office. These audits are more extensive and time-consuming. Our representation ensures auditors stay within proper scope, that you provide only what's legally required, and that your rights are protected throughout the examination.

• Offer in Compromise

  

  Can't afford to pay your full tax liability? You aren’t backed into a corner. An Offer in Compromise allows qualifying taxpayers to settle IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. Our team evaluates your eligibility, prepares detailed financial documentation, and submits comprehensive offers that maximize your chances of IRS acceptance.

• Installment Agreement Negotiation

  

  If you owe taxes but need time to pay, we negotiate installment agreements with the IRS on your behalf. Our professionals assess your financial situation, determine affordable monthly payments, and secure agreements that prevent aggressive collection actions while you resolve your tax obligations.

• Penalty Abatement

  

  Late filing, late payment, and accuracy-related issues can mean hefty fines. In many cases, these penalties can be reduced or eliminated through reasonable cause arguments or first-time penalty abatement. We prepare requests that highlight qualifying circumstances and present compelling cases for penalty relief.

• IRS Notice Response

  

  From CP2000 notices about unreported income to notices of intent to levy, each IRS notice requires a prompt, accurate response. Our team reviews every notice you receive, determines appropriate action, and responds within required deadlines to prevent escalation and protect your assets.

• Tax Lien and Levy Release

  

  When the IRS places a lien on your property or levies your bank account, you need to take immediate action. Our professionals work to release or subordinate federal tax liens and stop levies by demonstrating financial hardship, negotiating payment plans, or proving the IRS action was improper.

• Innocent Spouse Relief

  

  If your spouse or former spouse caused tax problems through unreported income, improper deductions, or other errors, you may qualify for innocent spouse relief. We help New Jersey residents prepare claims that separate your liability from your spouse's, protecting you from tax debt you shouldn't be responsible for.

• Wage Garnishment Resolution

  

  IRS wage garnishments can devastate your finances. Our team contacts the IRS immediately to stop garnishments by negotiating payment arrangements, proving financial hardship, or resolving underlying tax issues. We work quickly to restore your income and stabilize your financial situation.

• Back Tax Resolution

  

  Years of unfiled tax returns create mounting problems. We prepare prior year returns, calculate accurate tax liability, and represent you in discussions with the IRS to minimize penalties and establish manageable payment terms. Our goal is to bring you into compliance while protecting your financial interests.

Facing the IRS Alone Is a Risk You Shouldn't Take

Every conversation with the IRS can affect your financial future. Our New Jersey CPAs and enrolled agents protect your rights, handle all communication, and work toward the best possible resolution for your situation.
