Tax preparation is the process of compiling, reviewing, and submitting tax returns in accordance with federal and state laws. It includes analyzing income sources, deductions, credits, and liabilities to accurately report taxable income and calculate tax obligations. Proper preparation can prevent costly errors and ensure compliance.
The tax preparation process starts with collecting financial records such as income statements and expense receipts. Next, these documents are reviewed and organized to determine allowable deductions and credits. The information is then entered into the appropriate tax forms, which are carefully checked before filing electronically or by mail.
Understanding common tax terms helps you navigate tax preparation and communications with tax authorities. Below are explanations of frequently used terms that are relevant during the filing and resolution process.
A tax return is a formal statement filed with tax authorities reporting income, deductions, and tax liability. It is used to calculate the amount of tax owed or refund due based on the information provided.
An installment agreement is a payment plan arranged with the IRS allowing taxpayers to pay owed taxes over time in monthly installments rather than a lump sum.
An offer in compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles a tax debt for less than the full amount owed, based on the taxpayer’s ability to pay.
A tax levy is a legal seizure of a taxpayer’s property or assets by the IRS to satisfy an unpaid tax debt after other collection efforts have failed.
Taxpayers facing tax debts have various options for resolution, ranging from simple payment plans to more complex settlements. Understanding these options helps you choose the best path for your circumstances, whether it involves negotiating with the IRS or filing appeals.
If your tax debt is relatively low and manageable, entering into an installment agreement with the IRS may be sufficient to resolve your balance without additional negotiation or settlement efforts.

I have been a client of this firm for 5+ years. Mr. Martin, Mr. Bond and the entire staff exemplify professionalism. The ideas of integrity, promptness, dedication and knowledge are honored here, not just commercial words. This firm has helped me thru some tough times. In the past, I had less successful experience with a well known tax attorney whose staff turnover was an ominous reflection of his overall work ethic, so I pay attention to that. The staff here at IRSProb is stable and courteous. Most reassuring are the results of their work.
