Who we help and what to expect
Kennedy Tax Solutions focuses on complex tax matters for businesses of any size and individuals with tax liabilities generally of $25,000 or more. That general threshold does not apply to services such as audit defense, collection defense, or tax appeals, which we review on a case-by-case basis.

The size of the balance is only part of the picture. An unresolved audit, a notice with a response date, an unfiled return, or collection activity can each require a different approach. Tell us what prompted you to seek help so we can understand the matter you want to address.

1. Discuss the situation
Begin with a phone consultation. Explain the notices or correspondence you have received, the tax years involved, and whether an audit, appeal, or collection action is already underway. This gives us a starting point for identifying the issues and discussing the assistance you need.

2. Review the records and available approach
We discuss the information needed to evaluate your case. This may include tax returns, notices, financial records, or earlier communications with the taxing authority. We explain the proposed scope of representation and the work involved so you can make an informed decision.

3. Work toward resolution
If you engage the firm, the work follows the needs of your matter: preparing returns, responding to an audit, pursuing an appeal, negotiating with the IRS, or preparing a court case. We help you understand what is happening and what you need to provide along the way.

Prepare for your consultation
Have recent IRS or state notices available, including any response dates shown.
List the tax years involved and which returns have been filed.
Note any garnishment, levy, audit, appeal, or investigation already underway.
Write down your main questions and what you hope to resolve.
If you do not have every document, explain what is missing during the call. Do not send sensitive tax documents through the general inquiry form; use it to request contact and describe the issue briefly.

Which of These Tax Troubles is Keeping You Awake at Night?

Tax Resolution - Am I going to Jail

Am I going to Jail?

Answer: Jail always feels like a likely outcome when dealing with the IRS or state Department of Revenue. Generally, people do not go to jail for what are called “civil” tax matters like outstanding taxes (regardless of the balance), unfiled tax returns, and the like. The pressure of an IRS or state Department of Revenue matter can feel like jail is a likely outcome. It isn’t.

Tax Resolution - How am I going to pay the taxes I owe? - Tax Debt Attorney serving Phoenix AZ

How am I going to pay the taxes I owe?

Answer: Tax balances can feel like they will never be paid in a lifetime. This can feel overwhelming. The good news is that there are a host of options to address a tax balance that is too large to pay, including a settlement of the balance for less than the total amount owed (Offer-In-Compromise), a partial payment agreement, appealing the matter that created the taxes, and finally, bankruptcy in some settings will eliminate federal and state taxes.

Tax Resolution - Will the IRS take my property, house, and car?

Will the IRS take my property, house, and car?

Answer: The IRS or state Department of Revenue has the power to take your property, including your house and car. This situation feels very threatening. Keep in mind that this is the government’s last resort, as they have no desire for your property.

Tax Resolution - My tax returns have been audited

My tax returns have been audited and are not accurate. What am I going to do?

Answer: This situation is tricky and unnerving. State Departments of Revenue generally do not pursue inaccurate returns as a criminal offense. They adjust the return in question in the audit and charge a penalty for what is called an understatement of taxes. The IRS, however, can pursue an inaccurate return criminally. Generally, simple mistakes on your tax returns do not create a situation where the audit results in a criminal matter. Most inaccurate returns are adjusted to the correct balances through an audit, and a penalty related to the understatement of your taxes is charged.

Tax Resolution - Will the IRS take my wages and bank account?

Will the IRS take my wages and bank account?

Answer: The IRS or state Department of Revenue has the power to take your wages and monies in your bank account. This is very threatening. Unresolved collection issues or unfiled tax returns often end up with what is called a garnishment that can take part of your wages or the money in your bank account.

Tax Resolution - I am in collections

I am in collections, and the IRS has contacted me. How can I represent myself and get a fair outcome?

Answer: This situation feels very threatening. Generally, self-representation in this setting is a bad idea. (See the question on my website where this issue is addressed at length.) First, you likely don’t know the law. Second, dealing with the IRS or state Department of Revenue will create unresolved anxiety.

Tax Resolution - Unfiled Tax Returns

Managing Unfiled Tax Returns

Unfiled tax returns are a fairly common tax issue. The IRS takes a severe view of unfiled income tax returns and may see this as a pattern of behavior that could be construed as criminal. This is often a fairly easy job to get returns filed. As a tax attorney serving Phoenix AZ, I prepare these filings and build additional safeguards for my clients.

IRS Tax Audit - Tax Debt Attorney serving Phoenix AZ

So You’ve Been Audited

This is at the top of my list of ways to help clients. I represent multiple individuals and companies during IRS or state Department of Revenue audits. The key issue is to realize that the “win” often does not come during an audit (although sometimes it does)-more likely the “win” occurs with a timely filed appeal. My accounting background is particularly important in these settings when business books and records are at issue.

IRS Tax Debt Relief - Tax Debt Attorney serving Phoenix AZ

Eliminating Tax Debt/Bankruptcy

Taxes may be eliminated without bankruptcy through the expiration of the statute of limitations on collections (the period the IRS or state has to collect outstanding taxes); possibly settlement via an Offer-In-Compromise or similar state tax settlement program; or finally, by challenging the original amount of the liability through an appeal.

Bankruptcy also works with taxes-IRS and state. Most people are surprised to learn that “older” income taxes CAN be discharged in bankruptcy.

IRS Tax Appeal - Tax Debt Attorney serving Phoenix AZ

Appeal of IRS/State Matter

An appeal often allows a bad early outcome in an audit or collection matter to be heard by a decision-maker who takes a more balanced view for my clients. An appeal to the United States Tax Court for IRS issues is often a “win” for my clients. Similar appeal processes for state issues are available and often beneficial for my clients.

Garnishment of Wages - Tax Debt Attorney serving Phoenix AZ

Wage Garnishment or Bank Levy

Older taxes left undealt with long enough may lead to the IRS or state addressing payment for you through a garnishment against your wages, or by levying against your bank account. These enforced collection actions by IRS or the state may be challenged with a properly timed appeal.

IRS Criminal Investigation - Tax Debt Attorney serving Phoenix AZ

Criminal Investigation

If your worst nightmare has come true and you’re being investigated by the IRS’ Criminal Investigation Division, you need to have an experienced and competent Tax Attorney serving Phoenix AZ to represent your interests. Because jail time and significant fines can be part of this investigation, you need proper representation.

Tax Attorney Phoenix AZ Disclaimer:

Kennedy Tax Solutions specializes in complex tax matters for businesses of any size and individuals with tax liabilities (generally) of $25,000 or greater.  This disclaimer does not apply to services like audit defense, collections defense, or tax appeals (federal or state), which we review on a case-by-case basis.

25k to 50k Tax Debt - Tax Relief Phoenix AZ

You Owe a Fair Bit of Debt
(25K to 50K)

You owe an amount that can’t be paid off with a lump sum payment and will need to use installment payments to address the balance.

The payment plan will likely cause a “squeeze” on the family’s finances.

Some level of collection activity has started. To “fix” this, you will need to look at all options for reducing the debt or a payment plan that fits the family budget.

You Owe Too Much Debt
(50K+)

You owe an amount that is larger than your family finances can afford.

Current family finances won’t get close to paying the balance off. Collection activity (actual or anticipated) has started, and the pressure will wreak havoc on your life.

You may be stuck, unable to move forward with addressing the issue. You need to get matters resolved quickly before the IRS puts a lien against your home, levies against your bank account, or places a garnishment against your wages.

To “fix” this, you will need to look solely at reducing the indebtedness through an appeal of the issue that created the tax problem or tax reduction programs offered by the IRS or state Department of Revenue.

Oh My Gosh! Level of Debt
(Too large to pay off)

You owe an amount that will never be paid off.

This category of tax debt is often common for small to medium-sized businesses with individuals making significant earnings. Collection action is in full swing, and there appears to be no light on the horizon line.

You are worried that everything you have worked for in your life will be sucked up in a settlement. You are spending all your time either worrying or attending to the debt. Business income likely has suffered. You need to resolve matters immediately before they go from bad to worse.

To “fix” this, you may need the intervention of a court to help stabilize you and your family’s finances. You will need help in backing down collections, settlement options, reduction of the indebtedness (if wrong) through appeal, or tax reduction programs offered by the IRS or state Department of Revenue.

IRS Tax Questions - Tax relief Phoenix AZ

TAX RELIEF | TAX RESOLUTION

IRS Tax Relief and Tax Resolution in Mesa, AZ

Tax controversy involves disputes or unresolved obligations with the IRS or a state tax authority. The right approach depends on what happened, which tax years are involved, where the matter stands, and your financial circumstances. We bring the legal and accounting issues together so that the proposed resolution addresses the underlying problem.
Tax Debt Relief and Tax Collection Defense

If you need a tax debt attorney serving Mesa, AZ, Dale can review your balance, filing history, notices, and financial records. Tax debt relief may involve payment arrangements, settlement options, challenging disputed assessments, or other collection alternatives. We connect debt-resolution strategy with responses to IRS collection activity.

If you have received collection notices or are facing a wage garnishment, bank levy, or tax lien, explain that when you contact us. Include any response date printed on the notice. Learn about our tax resolution process.

Unfiled Tax Returns

Missing returns can leave you uncertain about what you owe and make it harder to resolve an existing tax problem. Dale prepares unfiled returns for individuals and businesses and reviews the records needed to establish the filing position. His accounting background is particularly useful when business records are incomplete or several tax years need attention.

During the consultation, identify the years that have not been filed and any records you already have. If documents are missing, we can discuss what information is needed. Read about missing records and unfiled returns.

Tax Audit Defense

An audit can involve questions about income, deductions, business expenses, or the documentation supporting a return. We review the issues raised by the taxing authority, examine the supporting records, and represent clients through the audit process. Dale’s combined legal and accounting experience helps connect the numbers with the rules and procedures that apply.

An audit result is not always the end of the matter. If you disagree with the proposed outcome, we can evaluate the available appeal process and the next steps for your case.

Tax Appeals — Federal (IRS) and State Level

We help clients with federal (IRS) and state-level tax appeals involving assessments, penalties, collection decisions, or rejected resolutions. We examine the notice, disputed issues, and supporting records, then explain the administrative or court process relevant to the case.

Bring the complete notice to your consultation, including the pages showing dates and instructions. Procedures vary by taxing authority. Our guide to tax appeals in Oregon Magistrate Court explains one state-level example.

U.S. Tax Court Representation

Dale represents clients in federal tax matters, including cases before the U.S. Tax Court. Court representation involves reviewing the IRS position, developing legal arguments, organizing evidence, preparing required filings, and handling negotiations and court proceedings.

The strategy depends on the facts and stage of the dispute. Some cases resolve through negotiation; others require further preparation and litigation. Your consultation can help clarify which stage your case has reached.

Tax Settlement and IRS Fresh Start Options

Looking for IRS Fresh Start help in Mesa, AZ? The Fresh Start initiative expanded access to options such as installment agreements and offers in compromise. We review the current requirements and your circumstances to identify a suitable approach. A tax settlement through an offer in compromise may reduce the amount owed for qualifying taxpayers; payment arrangements and penalty relief may also be worth evaluating.

We also evaluate issues such as innocent spouse relief and the treatment of tax liabilities in bankruptcy when relevant. A consultation helps distinguish options worth investigating from those that do not fit your circumstances.

Business and payroll tax problems

Business tax disputes may involve payroll taxes, unfiled business returns, disputed expenses, or collection activity affecting operations. Resolving these matters requires understanding the books and records as well as the legal issues. We help business owners examine the problem, identify the records needed, and plan the next steps.

Tell us whether the business is still operating, which tax periods are involved, and whether an IRS revenue officer or another representative has contacted you.

Criminal tax investigations

If a tax matter involves a criminal investigation, tell us that when arranging your consultation. These cases require careful attention to the nature of the investigation and the representation needed. Dale can discuss the situation with you and explain how the firm may be able to assist.

A Tax Attorney Phoenix AZ with a Unique Approach

I certainly face stiff competition in my field. So many folks out there offer to help you out. Lawyers, CPAs, and scores of others who claim to be able to best help you out of your current difficulties. Yet I have one thing most of my competition does not have: two degrees!

I am both a tax attorney Phoenix AZ and a certified public accountant (CPA).

Yes, most firms sending you mail or flashing their credentials online are made up of enrolled agents, tax attorneys, or CPAs. But very rarely is the person handling your situation both a lawyer and an Accountant. When you come to Kennedy Tax Solutions, that’s exactly what you get. Two for the price of one!

I don’t have to spend time as an Accountant explaining or teaching the lawyer the accounting rules or methods used. Nor must I, as the tax attorney Phoenix AZ, explain to the CPA involved what needs to be done procedurally or what the parameters of the laws and regulations are. In your case, an accountant understands all the numbers, and the lawyer knows all the procedures and precedential case law that will benefit you. Not only that, but the deeper level of thinking, strategizing, and understanding of the tactics to be employed are all under one hood…mine! This increases efficiency and saves you time and, most importantly, money!

Once we get you out of the immediate difficulty and danger, I can help you get back on track with your legal and financial obligations. Because I’ve been an accountant for over 25 years, I can understand more readily how you got off track—and if a professional was responsible—and how to get you back on track and stay there. I can help you understand your legal position and obligations so that you can avoid trouble in the future. I can help you understand where things went wrong, how they went wrong, and how to avoid these difficulties again.

Hiring a lawyer who is also an accountant (or an accountant who is also a tax attorney Phoenix AZ) has many, many benefits that most of my competition cannot match. Call me today so I can show you how I can help. I’m sure you’ll be pleased!

Tax Settlement

Tax settlement is an acceptable arrangement to the IRS or your state Department of Revenue that allows a taxpayer to retire a tax debt for less than the amount owed.  Tax authorities allow this type of settlement when circumstances prevent the taxpayer from honoring the full debt, including the inability to pay.  Not every situation is appropriate for engaging in tax settlement. However, tax authorities are often willing to explore the situation to determine if a settlement is possible.  This is typically based on current tax regulations and the taxpayer’s circumstances.

A Couple of Observations Regarding Your Tax Situation…

My combined experience as a licensed CPA and tax attorney gives me both an accounting and legal perspective. I can analyze the numbers, understand tax procedure and precedent, and advocate for a fair outcome in your case.

Tax problems may involve unfiled returns, unaffordable balances, audits, bankruptcy, collections, or garnishments. Whatever the circumstances, the important next step is to understand your options and address the matter before it becomes more difficult.

I will personally handle your tax problem.

Dale R. Kennedy, tax attorney and CPA

Dale R. Kennedy, J.D., CPA

I am authorized to represent clients in federal tax matters in all 50 states, including cases before the U.S. Tax Court.

United States Tax Court disputes require careful legal preparation and experienced representation.

A dispute may arise after an IRS audit or examination when the taxpayer disagrees with the additional tax or penalties the IRS claims are due. Collection actions may include payment demands, wage garnishment, or tax liens, but taxpayers have the right to challenge IRS findings through the appropriate administrative and judicial procedures.

An experienced tax attorney serving Phoenix AZ can evaluate the IRS position, review the tax law and supporting records, and develop a strategy for resolving the dispute. Many cases can be negotiated or settled before trial. If a case proceeds to the United States Tax Court, strict procedural and evidentiary rules apply, making knowledgeable representation especially important.

Representation During the Tax Court Process

Your attorney can prepare the required petitions, supporting documents, and legal arguments; communicate and negotiate with the IRS; prepare the case for trial; and represent you before the court. Following a trial, the court may require a formal legal brief explaining the evidence, applicable tax law, and supporting precedents.

Depending on the circumstances, federal tax matters may also be heard in a U.S. District Court, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, or Bankruptcy Court. The proper forum and strategy depend on the facts of the case.

Choosing a Tax Court Attorney

Look for an attorney with substantial tax controversy and courtroom experience, current knowledge of IRS rules and procedures, and the availability to explain the process and answer your questions. Fees vary according to the complexity and stage of the matter, so the scope of representation and expected costs should be discussed at the outset.

Qualified representation can protect your rights, reduce avoidable delays, and help pursue a fair resolution of the federal tax dispute.

OK… I need help. What should I do next?

The tax relief industry seems like shark-infested waters. But hey! They’re not sharks – they’re just smart marketers. To me, they had the knowledge, credentials, and strategies to solve my problems, but would they just consult i.e. absorb my situation then provide options & solutions? Nope! So, after discussions with a few tax relievers, I wound up with more questions than answers. And holes in info grow fears. Not pretty. I realized they smartly want to give you just enough info to get you to hire them. In time, I was ready to concede to these sharks’, OK, marketers’ terms. But I decided to make just one more call...

The call I made was to Kennedy Tax Solutions where they scheduled a call. At the appointed time, I got a call that Mr. Dale Kennedy is running a bit late for the scheduled call but will definitely call. Wait a second – they’re on the ball and want me properly informed on a simple item like call timing?! Courteous? …or shark-in-waiting? I braced myself when the call came from this man. Turns out, he was like NONE of the others. He listened – I mean truly listened – to my situation, then immediately shared thoroughly what will happen with different paths forward. Fortunately, I’d spoken with enough others to offer decent drill-down questions. But I quickly realized it’d be OK if I hadn’t because, again the exception here, he flowed detailed information freely …and their contract never came up. Wait. What?! The guy was honest, sincerely interested, eminently qualified, brilliant, and, I must say, classy yet humble. Rare breed. Mensch.

My path forward happens to be one that I can navigate myself - one with favorable timing and costs plus it’s likely safe, but, if needed, I know I have a par excellént, best-in-class tax legal beagle ready in my corner: Dale Kennedy. And in time I’ll likely need him/them. If my situation was different, I’d jump in with them right away. Either way, I have confidence in these folks at Kennedy to have my back.

In life, truth is that the more we give spiritually, the more we get spiritually. It seems too few people in our lives embrace and live this truth. This man, Dale Kennedy, gets it and lives it. And because of that, I’ll be more at peace and confident while time passes as I resolve my tax issues. Dale Kennedy, te saludé! No doubt your peeps are class acts as well. Cheers!

I just want to say "Thank You" to Dale and his team. Dale help me navigate waters that I never would have been able to do myself and ended up on the positive end of what could have ended in a disaster. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank You.

Kennedy Tax Solutions successfully represented me in an IRS audit of a previous house sale.  Mr Kennedy was reassuring, while I waited.  In the end the matter was closed in my favor   I’m very grateful for the thoroughness and attention given and would recommend their office without hesitation.  Thank you!
