Clergy compensation involves complex dual-status tax rules—ministers are treated as employees for income tax purposes but self-employed under SECA for Social Security and Medicare. We resolve church payroll tax disputes, SECA back-tax liabilities, non-filed quarterly estimates, and clergy housing allowance compliance errors.

Protect church assets and personal property. We negotiate IRS Federal Tax Lien withdrawals, subordinations, and releases tailored for ordained ministers.

An IRS audit is a formal examination of your tax returns, financial records, and church accounting to verify accuracy under tax law. Professional audit representation protects your rights, ensures proper compliance, and handles all communication with IRS examiners so you never have to face the IRS alone.

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that allows individuals or businesses to be free from their debts, while providing creditors with an opportunity for repayment at the same time.

Penalty abatement offers relief from severe fines imposed by the IRS for late filing or unpaid tax balances. While First-Time Abate (FTA) covers a single tax period, Reasonable Cause Penalty Abatement can eliminate penalties across multiple tax years if you experienced qualifying circumstances like illness, hardship, or relied on incorrect professional advice.

Being placed on the status of not currently collectible implies that the IRS has decided to avoid efforts to collect taxes back. This occurs after proof is obtained by the IRS that the taxpayer could not pay the tax debt owed. However, being put on currently not collectible status does not erase any tax debt owed to the IRS, nor is it an effort to settle tax debt.

Back taxes are taxes that were partially or completely unpaid in the year in which they were due. Taxpayers may have unpaid back taxes at the federal, state and/or local levels.

Settle tax debts for significantly less than the total balance owed. We leverage clergy-specific allowable living expenses and housing allowances to maximize IRS settlement approval.

Stop immediate IRS levies on pastor salaries and bank accounts. We establish immediate relief through Currently Not Collectible status or manageable installment agreements.
