Tax resolution is the umbrella term for a number of services that help taxpayers who have run afoul of the IRS. There is a huge need for tax settlement services, often known as IRS representation, tax problem recovery, or tax controversy. Among the services offered are assistance with Offers in Compromise, lien and levy relief, penalty abatement, and more. We'll discuss the various types of tax resolution in more detail later.

Why You Should Offer Tax Resolution

Let's take a closer look at the top three reasons why tax professionals across the nation are increasingly offering tax resolution services.

1. Non-seasonal Income

All year long, not just from February to April, support is needed for those who are encountering problems with the IRS. By providing tax resolution services, you can generate regular income all year long rather than having to rely heavily on the few months known as "tax season."
 
2. Make More Money

Do you desire an 8–23 fold increase in your revenue? Resolving tax issues should be among your services. The average hourly wage for tax preparation is only $21.43. Contrarily, the price of tax settlement varies from $175 to $500 each hour.

3. Increased Satisfaction

Even in a firm where numbers are essential, it's difficult to quantify something like contentment. On the other hand, tax professionals almost unanimously concur that tax resolution work is substantially more rewarding (not to mention less time-consuming) than tax preparation.

If those three arguments aren't convincing enough, we have an ebook that offers a few more.

How to Start Offering Tax Resolution Services

Particularly if you're already a registered enrolled agent, CPA, or lawyer, being certified to represent clients before the IRS and provide tax resolution is not difficult. Let's examine the four procedures for becoming certified to offer tax resolution services.

Become an Enrolled Tax Preparer

To legally represent your client, you must complete IRS Form 2848 and obtain a power of attorney from them (covered in more detail below). Your first step should be to get the necessary professional qualification because the IRS will only grant power of attorney to enrolled agents, CPAs, and attorneys. The greatest choice for you if you aren't a CPA or lawyer already is to become an EA, which doesn't require any additional education.

Get Your CAF Number

The IRS issues you a CA number, a nine-digit number, when you submit Form 2848 for the first time (power of attorney). This number is used by the IRS to track your requests for client information, such as transcripts.

On your first 2848, just write "none" in the field designated for your CAF number, and the IRS will send you a letter with your CAF number. A CAF number will only need to be requested once, and you will use that number in all ensuing situations.
