You have 90 days to agree or disagree. If you agree, you could pay the balance or set up a payment plan. If you disagree, you file a petition in US tax court.

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service and representation I received from my lawyer Parkam. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely professional, efficient, and successful in handling my case. Every time I called, he was always responsive, answered my questions promptly, and made sure everything was handled exactly the way I wanted. His dedication, communication, and attention to detail gave me great confidence and peace of mind. I truly appreciate all the hard work and effort that was put into achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and results-driven attorney. Thank you again for the outstanding support and professionalism.

I cannot recommend Victory Tax Law enough. I’ve been working with Parham, Rea, and Sarah for over 3 years now for both my personal and business tax guidance, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Finding a team you can truly trust in this industry is rare, and I am thrilled to have found them. They are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. If you are looking for expert tax guidance, look no further. I haven’t had a single regret since the day I started working with them!

Absolutely amazing work! I went to prison for failure to pay taxes due to incompetent attorneys and lack of financial resources to properly defend myself. Upon my release the tax liability was over 740k and IRS was hunting me which led me to Parham and his team. The IRS even blocked my passport so I was not able to travel internationally neither. Victory Tax Lawyers immediately stopped the IRS harassment and created a strategy that lasted over a 2 year period and resulted in savings of 720k. They then negotiated a payment plan and cleared my passport restrictions. Their professionalism, knowledge, communication and, most importantly, their empathy and willingness to help was beyond any possible expectations that I had. Forever grateful and appreciative of Victory Tax Lawyers.
