IRS and Texas tax defense for North Richland Hills.
In North Richland Hills the typical tax problem belongs to a working household: a notice that went unanswered, a balance that moved to collections, and a paycheck or bank account now at risk.
The Law Office of Patrick Smith represents North Richland Hills wage earners, retirees, and small businesses in IRS collection matters, including final notices of intent to levy, wage garnishment and bank levy releases, payment arrangements, and offers in compromise.
The tax problems we see from North Richland Hills
Collection follows a fixed sequence. After the bills come a CP504, then a final notice with 30 days to request a hearing, then a levy on wages or a bank account. Texas law keeps most creditors away from a paycheck, but it does not stop the IRS, and many people learn that only when their employer hands them the levy paperwork.
The fix is rarely dramatic. It is usually getting missing returns filed, documenting what the household can actually pay, and putting the right arrangement in place before or immediately after the levy.

CP2000 Notice
The IRS says the income on your return does not match what employers, banks, or brokers reported. It is a proposal, not a bill, and it has a response date.
Read more →Final Notice of Intent to Levy
CP504, LT11, and Letter 1058 look alike and mean different things. One of them starts a 30-day clock that protects your bank account and your right to go to court.
Read more →Notice of Deficiency (90-Day Letter)
The IRS has formally determined that you owe more tax. You have 90 days to take the dispute to the U.S. Tax Court without paying first. The IRS cannot extend that date.
Read more →Bank Levy & Wage Garnishment Release
A frozen bank account is held for 21 days before the money goes to the IRS. A wage levy repeats every payday until it is released. Both can be released.
Read more →Offer in Compromise
The IRS will settle a tax debt for less than the balance when the numbers show it cannot collect the full amount. The formula is public. Most rejected offers ignored it.
