Why Choose Molen & Associates to Settle Your Debt?

We Negotiate, You Relax

Dealing with the IRS is intimidating and confusing. We act as your authorized representative. We handle all communications, ensuring you don’t say anything that could hurt your case. We know the negotiation tactics that work to get you the best possible outcome.

A Path Out of the Hole

Back taxes can feel like a bottomless pit due to interest and penalties. We analyze every option available to you—from penalty abatement to Offers in Compromise—to reduce what you owe and set up a payment plan you can actually afford.

No Judgment, Just Solutions

We understand that life happens—illness, job loss, or simple mistakes can lead to tax debt. We never judge your past; we focus entirely on your future. We offer transparent pricing to resolve your case so you can move forward without shame.

What You Can Expect

Immediate Compliance

The IRS won’t negotiate until you are “compliant.” We quickly prepare and file any unfiled tax returns to get you current. This stops the Failure-to-File penalties from growing and brings you to the negotiating table.

Stopped Collection Actions

Once we step in, aggressive collection tactics often pause. We work to put a hold on wage garnishments and bank levies while we negotiate your case, protecting your paycheck and your ability to pay your bills.

A Clear Resolution Plan

You won’t be left in limbo. We provide a specific roadmap to zero balance. Whether it is a monthly installment agreement or a settlement for less than the full amount, you will walk away with a signed, sealed resolution and a fresh start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.

What exactly are "back taxes," and how do they start?

Back taxes are simply taxes that were not paid in the year they were due. This can happen because of an unfiled return, an error on a filed return, or simply not having the funds to pay the balance due on April 15th. At Molen & Associates, we see this often, and we focus on identifying the “root cause”—whether it’s withholding issues or missing deductions—to ensure you don’t keep falling behind.

Is there a "statute of limitations" on how long the IRS can collect back taxes?
Generally, the IRS has 10 years from the date the tax was assessed to collect the debt. This is known as the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED). However, certain actions—like filing for bankruptcy or an Offer in Compromise—can “pause” that clock. Part of our service is reviewing your IRS transcripts to see exactly how much time is left on your debt.
What happens if I just can’t afford to pay anything right now?
If your current financial situation doesn’t allow you to pay anything without facing extreme hardship, we may be able to get you placed in “Currently Not Collectible” (CNC) status. This doesn’t make the debt go away, but it legally stops the IRS from taking your wages or bank funds until your financial situation improves. We help you prepare the necessary financial statements to prove your status to the IRS.

Should I wait until I have the money to file my old tax returns?

No! This is a common mistake. The penalty for “Failure to File” is significantly higher (10 times higher) than the penalty for “Failure to Pay.” Even if you can’t pay a dime, filing the return stops the most aggressive penalties from growing. Our team can help you file those back years immediately to minimize the damage.

Can I set up a payment plan that I can actually afford?
Most likely. The IRS offers Installment Agreements. For many taxpayers, we can negotiate a monthly payment based on what is left over after your necessary living expenses are met. Our goal is to set up a plan that satisfies the IRS but still allows you to take care of your family and your business.
Will the IRS take my tax refund if I owe back taxes from previous years?
Yes. The IRS will typically “offset” any current or future refunds to pay down your old tax debt. However, once we have a resolution in place (like an approved Offer in Compromise or a specific payment plan), we can help you adjust your withholdings so you aren’t overpaying throughout the year, keeping more of your hard-earned money in your pocket each month.
Why choose Molen & Associates to handle my back taxes?

Dealing with back taxes is a marathon, not a sprint. With over 40 years of experience, we’ve seen every type of tax debt scenario. We don’t just “fix” the debt; we educate you on how to stay compliant in the future. We act as your authorized representative, meaning the IRS calls us, not you. We take the stress off your shoulders so you can focus on your life while we focus on your debt.
