In the last five years, our staff have resolved more than 1,000 CP2000 notice cases for taxpayers just like you.

Approximately 75% of those taxpayers saw their stated balances due either reduced significantly, or eliminated altogether—and, in more than a few cases, taxpayers who had received CP2000 notices wound up getting refunds! Click here for some unsolicited comments from our former clients.

Our principal holds a designation, enrolled agent, granted by the IRS, authorizing us to represent you before the IRS. only EAs, CPAs, and attorneys have this privilege.

What sets us apart from our competitors in the IRS tax resolution business?

1) We handle only IRS and California state income tax notices.

Most of our competitors deal with audits, liens, levies, offers in compromise, payroll tax problems, and other issues. In fact, some may have little experience dealing with notices; on their web sites, they advise taxpayers to handle them on their own. This is because they lack enough experience with notices to know that most taxpayers who receive them need professional help to get the most favorable outcome possible. They also may not know how to handle them, or be prepared to do the work necessary to get them resolved.

2) We have extensive experience with these notices.

Our principal, Ben Silverman, handled more than 1,000 of them before establishing OnlyWhatYouOwe, and, in most cases, won either a reduction or elimination of the stated balance due. Our quality control help also have broad experience with taxpayer representation on IRS notices.

3) We operate a low-overhead business, to save you money.

Some of our competitors have fancy offices with many employees, and their "hard-sell" approach is a clue that they are more interested in getting your money than helping you solve a problem. We earn our fees by helping you solve the problem.

4) Our principal deals with each client one-on-one.

Some of our competitors may bounce you to a different employee each time you call--and perhaps none of them is really the person who is responsible for your case. Our principal is used to handling a very heavy case load of up to 150 cases at a time, more than 300 a year (along with much other work). We won't forget about you and your case, or give you a bureaucratic run-around. When you retain us to represent you, we move promptly to respond to the notice you have received, and we track progress on the outcome carefully. Once we respond, the IRS moves slowly, but we know from experience when your case is taking too long, and we're due to give them another call or write them another letter on your behalf. If you have questions or complaints about our process or service, our principal will discuss them with you personally--not shuffle you off to someone who doesn't know or care about you.

5) We stay with you, no matter how long it takes to resolve your case.

Many IRS tax examiners are unable or unwilling to give you what you deserve--including the benefit of the doubt, in cases that involve doubt. To get fair resolution of a case with the IRS, it sometimes takes three, four, even five letters, plus phone calls. Each contact reaches a different tax examiner, and we persist until we reach one who actually has the knowledge and the interest to help us.
