  • Setup quarterly or even monthly follow up sessions

In short tax problems are generally when you owner a lot every year and don’t understand why or what to do about it. It can also mean you have so many things going on don’t understand how it all fits together in your taxes or how to keep it all straight. We offer tax consultation appointments where we can help figure out what is going on, how it all fits, and suggest helpful changes if possible.

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.

If you are wanting honest and sincere tax preparation, this is where you need to go. We have worked with other well know tax preparation companies and ended up at the bottom of their priority list because we chose not to get the Platinum advance or whatever it was called this year. We had to file a previous year along with our current year. Brittany was awesome. She was able to calm the nerves associated with filing taxes and tax preparation as a whole. She answered ALL of our questions and even asked questions that we would have never thought of. She made us feel that there was nothing to worry about, She was looking out for us and not to get us. We will be asking for her again this next year. I'm definitely recommending Molen & Asociates to everyone I know. The fact that they are booked solid during tax season only confirms the fact that they are good at what they do.

Every year we have done business with Molen for our tax return prep and business advice, we leave with a sense of confidence that we have chosen the most qualified people to take care of us in all of Houston. We would like to extend our gratitude to Brittany for being thorough, friendly, and superb at doing her job. Although we have the option of handling everything electronically, we choose to go in for the final signing just to have that person to person friendly interaction.

I have used Molen and Associates for at least 15 years or more for my tax preparation. They are very professional and very friendly in all aspects of the process. I'm on my second tax preparer and feel that shows you they must be a good company to work for. I'm very happy with how my tax return is completed each year and how honest they are, I have no worries the IRS won't accept my return. I highly recommend Molen & Associates if you are looking for someone to do your taxes.

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?
We provide comprehensive IRS representation services. If you’re facing an audit, notice, or collection issue, our experienced team will handle communication with the IRS on your behalf, protect your rights, and work toward the best possible resolution. You won’t face the IRS alone.
Do you offer tax planning, or just tax preparation?
We’re passionate about proactive tax planning. While many firms only look backward at tax time, we work with you throughout the year to develop strategies that minimize your tax liability, optimize cash flow, and position your business for growth. Strategic planning is where the real value lies.
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.
