Founded in 2010 and staffed by IRS tax attorneys, Flat Fee Tax Service operates from 3200 Fourth Avenue Suite 208 in Hillcrest's 92103 office corridor, focusing on back-tax resolution cases for individuals and payroll-exposed small businesses. The firm files Offers in Compromise, negotiates installment agreements, and releases wage garnishments and bank levies, then hands long-term compliance work — quarterly estimates, books cleanup, annual return prep — down the street to Strategic Tax Management once the IRS case closes. Every engagement starts with transcript retrieval through IRS e-Services to reconstruct unfiled years and confirm the collection-statute expiration date before any strategy is mapped. Fees are set as flat case-type rates rather than hourly billing, so the total is disclosed before any power-of-attorney is filed on Form 2848. Clients emerging from six-figure settlements rebuild savings and retirement contributions with advisors at JW Financial, closing the loop between crisis resolution and long-term planning. The firm's most complex matters involve Trust Fund Recovery Penalty defenses for S-corps where the IRS has already assessed 100% personal liability against responsible officers under IRC 6672.
