Experienced Tax Resolution Advocates Serving Milwaukee

When the IRS or Wisconsin Department of Revenue begins collection activity, responding without a clear understanding of your rights and obligations can make an already difficult situation more complicated. Our tax resolution team helps clients evaluate notices, understand potential enforcement actions, and pursue available administrative or legal remedies. We work to establish a clear strategy for communicating with taxing authorities, resolving outstanding liabilities, and minimizing additional financial exposure.

Wisconsin taxpayers face considerations beyond federal income tax obligations. Individuals may encounter state income tax assessments, while businesses may face Wisconsin sales and use tax disputes, employer withholding issues, or collection actions involving unpaid state taxes. Wisconsin’s Department of Revenue administers its own collection procedures and payment arrangements, which may differ from IRS programs. Resolving a federal tax debt does not automatically eliminate a corresponding Wisconsin tax liability.

• Passport Certification and Reversal Assistance: For taxpayers affected by IRS orders to the state department to revoke and seize an existing passport and/or not renew a passport. certification.
