The Contractor’s IRS Letter Decoder
What each notice actually means, how many days you really have, and what happens if you let the deadline pass. Plain English, one page per notice.
If any of this is happening, it is fixable — but not by waiting
Notices escalate on a schedule. We read it, tell you exactly where you are in that sequence, and how much time is actually left.
The most dangerous debt in construction — it can become personal. There are real fixes, and they work better before a revenue officer is assigned.
Nothing gets resolved until the returns exist. We reconstruct them from bank records and job history and get you current.
Liens choke financing, bonding capacity, and license standing. Release and subordination are both on the table.
A levy on your customers can end a job overnight. This is the emergency lane — call, don’t email.
Often you don’t owe it. Assessments get built from estimates and missing deductions, and they can be challenged.
The outcome usually depends less on what you owe than on who is doing the talking.
What resolution actually looks like
There is no single fix — the right path depends on what you owe, why, and what the business can genuinely support. We tell you which of these you qualify for before you engage us, not after.
Installment agreement
A payment plan the business can actually survive, structured around your job cycle and cash flow instead of a formula from a call center.
Offer in compromise
Settling for less than the balance when the numbers genuinely support it. We qualify you honestly first — most firms that promise this up front are selling.
Penalty abatement
Failure to file, failure to pay, and estimated tax penalties are often the largest slice of the balance, and often the most removable.
Unfiled return reconstruction
Rebuilding years of returns from bank statements, job records, and 1099s so a real number replaces the IRS estimate.
Payroll tax & trust fund defense
941 debt and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty exposure can follow you personally. This is where representation matters most.
Lien release, subordination & levy relief
Getting the encumbrance off so you can bond, borrow, and keep your customers paying you directly.
Audit & examination representation
We handle the exam, the document requests, and the appeal. You keep running jobs.
George Ghazarian, CPA
I built this firm around one industry on purpose. Construction has its own accounting — retainage, WIP, job costing, certified payroll, method elections — and a generalist CPA who sees two contractors a year will never catch what a specialist catches every week.
Contractors come to us at the worst moment of their financial year. There is no lecture — we deal with what is in front of us, in confidence, and get you back to running the business.
Book a consult with GeorgeHear how we think before you ever book a call
Weekly episodes on contractor tax, job costing, and the profit leaks nobody warns you about. No fluff, no theory — the same conversations we have with clients.
Questions contractors ask
Will talking to you make it worse?
No. This conversation is confidential and does not notify anyone. Nothing is filed until you decide to engage.
How fast can the collection calls stop?
Once representation is filed, the IRS is required to deal with us instead of you. That part moves quickly.
Can you really settle for less than I owe?
Sometimes — when the financials genuinely support it. We will tell you plainly if they do not, before you spend a dollar with us.
I’m behind on payroll taxes. Am I personally on the hook?
Possibly, and that is exactly why this one shouldn’t sit. There are defenses and structures that limit exposure, and they work better early.
Do I have to file the old years first?
Yes — nothing gets negotiated until the returns exist. We reconstruct and file them as the first step.
Do you handle state agencies too?
Yes. State boards, EDD/employment agencies, and sales tax authorities, including multi-state contractors.
Every day this sits, it gets more expensive.
One confidential call. We will read the notice, tell you where you stand, and lay out the options — no charge, no judgment.
