BEFORE
A working mom fell behind on filing her tax returns after experiencing tax debt in prior years. Out of fear that filing would only increase what she owed, she avoided submitting returns altogether. Over time, the debt and anxiety grew, and she felt stuck.
AFTER
We brought her back into compliance by filing all required returns and reviewing her full financial picture. Based on her income and expenses, we determined she qualified for Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. IRS collection activity was paused, giving her the breathing room she desperately needed.
Client Result:
ā All required tax returns filed
ā IRS collections paused
ā Immediate financial relief
ā Peace of mind restored
I was scared to even talk about my taxes. Lorena explained everything without judgment and helped me finally feel like I could move forward.
