Keith Karnes handles tax defense matters with the IRS and the Oregon Department of Revenue, litigating your matter in court when the government tries to collect a debt that you do not owe, or negotiating an offer in compromise or payment plan to stop the flow of letters and phone calls trying to collect a tax debt that you can’t pay.
We don’t just accept the IRS’s position, but initiate our own independent review of your taxes. Often times we can get the tax debt, along with interest and penalties, reduced or eliminated. We can also get you into a payment plan that allows you to pay off the tax debt gradually over time. Oftentimes we are able to negotiate an Offer in Compromise with the IRS, convincing them to accept a lump sum amount that is less than the assessed tax debt.
