Tax Collection Alternatives

Exploring Every Option Before the IRS Takes Action

If you owe back taxes, the IRS has several ways to try to collect — but paying in full isn’t the only option, and it isn’t always the best one. Depending on your financial situation, there may be alternatives that reduce what you owe, spread payments out over time, or pause collection altogether while you get back on your feet.

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. reviews your full financial picture to determine which collection alternative fits your situation, then handles the negotiation and paperwork directly with the IRS. Our goal is to find a resolution that protects your income, assets, and peace of mind.

What we handle:

Evaluating eligibility for Installment Agreements, Offers in Compromise, and Currently Not Collectible status
Negotiating directly with IRS Revenue Officers
Preventing or stopping levies, liens, and wage garnishment while alternatives are pursued
Structuring payment solutions that fit your budget
Ongoing compliance guidance to keep agreements in good standing

Why it matters:

Ignoring a tax debt only gives the IRS more room to act — liens, levies, and garnishments can follow quickly once collection begins. Exploring your alternatives early, with an attorney negotiating on your behalf, gives you far more control over the outcome.
