Don’t Fall for Empty Promises from Tax Resolution Companies

You've probably heard the ads for national “tax relief” companies claiming they can eliminate your IRS debt overnight. The reality? Many of these companies are run by salespeople focused on commissions, not legal solutions. Some have even gone bankrupt, leaving clients in worse shape than before.

When you hire Scammahorn Law Firm, you're working directly with an experienced Texas back taxes attorney who knows how to negotiate with the IRS, reduce your liability, and protect your assets.

Legal Options for Resolving Back Taxes

If you're behind on your taxes, paying in full isn't your only option. The IRS offers several programs that can reduce your tax debt or pause collection efforts entirely. With proper legal representation, you may be able to settle your back taxes for a fraction of what you owe.

Here are a few options our firm may explore on your behalf:

 

Offer in Compromise

Settle your tax debt for less than the full amount. You may qualify if:

  • You don't have the income or assets to pay your debt in full 
  • Full payment would cause economic hardship 
  • The IRS may have overestimated what you owe 

An experienced back taxes lawyer can prepare and submit your application, increasing your chances of approval.

 

Penalty Abatement

IRS penalties can significantly increase your balance. These may be removed if:

  • You received bad advice from a tax preparer or IRS agent
  • You experienced a natural disaster or personal crisis
  • It’s your first time being penalized

We’ll review your case and advocate for the removal of unnecessary penalties.

 

Currently Not Collectible Status

If you can't pay anything without sacrificing basic living expenses, you may qualify for “currently non-collectible” status. This halts collection activity, including levies and garnishments. Interest and penalties may continue to accrue, but enforcement stops while your financial situation is reviewed.
