What You Can Expect
Immediate Peace of Mind
The moment you hire us, the weight lifts. Knowing that a professional is handling the IRS allows you to sleep better at night. We take over the burden of the deadlines and the bureaucracy so you can focus on your family and your work.
A Customized Battle Plan
There is no cookie-cutter fix for tax problems. We analyze your unique financial situation to determine the best path forward—whether that is an Offer in Compromise, a payment plan, or penalty abatement. We build a strategy specifically for you.
The Harassment Stops
Once we file a Power of Attorney, the IRS is legally required to direct their communications to us. This means the aggressive phone calls to your home and the threatening letters to your mailbox stop, giving you the breathing room to resolve the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
What kinds of tax problems can Molen & Associates help with?
We cover the full spectrum of IRS and state tax issues. Whether you are dealing with unfiled tax returns, a sudden audit notification, aggressive collection actions (like liens and levies), or simply an overwhelming amount of back taxes that you cannot afford to pay, our team has the experience to intervene and find a resolution.
Should I call the IRS myself to explain my situation?
We generally advise against this. IRS agents are trained to collect the maximum amount possible, and they often ask leading questions to gather information that can be used against you later. When you hire us, we act as your buffer. We handle all communication, ensuring your rights are protected and you don’t accidentally say something that hurts your case.
Will the IRS stop harassing me once I hire you?
Yes. One of the immediate benefits of hiring a tax professional is relief from the phone calls and letters. Once we file a Power of Attorney (Form 2848) with the IRS, they are legally required to direct their communications to us instead of you. We take the pressure off your shoulders so you can sleep at night.
Can you really settle my debt for less than I owe?
In certain situations, yes. The IRS has a program called an “Offer in Compromise” that allows qualified taxpayers to settle their debt for a lower amount. However, acceptance is not guaranteed and depends on your income, assets, and expenses. We perform a rigorous analysis to see if you qualify for this program or other settlement options.
What if I have an IRS issue or audit?
Do you offer tax planning, or just tax preparation?
I haven't filed taxes in years. Am I going to go to jail?
This is a very common fear, but the answer is usually no. The IRS is primarily interested in getting their money, not putting people in prison. However, the longer you wait, the higher the penalties grow. Our goal is to get you “compliant” by filing your missing returns quickly and negotiating a payment plan, avoiding any criminal implications.
