Need it released fast? Wage garnishments can be released generally within 48 hours, depending on your case. Timing depends on things like unfiled returns, but I get started the same day you call.

In Texas, it's usually just the IRS

Texas doesn't have a personal income tax. The Texas Constitution doesn't allow one. So if you live in Houston and you owe income tax, it's usually only the IRS you have to deal with, not a second state agency. That makes things simpler: one agency, one set of federal rules.

Help from a distance, done the easy way

I'm based in Nampa, Idaho, and I don't have an office in Houston. I don't need one. IRS rules are federal, so I can help you the same way from here, by phone, text and email. Many people find it easier: no driving across town, no waiting room. Snap a photo of your letter, text it to me, and we'll go from there.

Common IRS problems I help Houston folks with

An IRS wage levy taking a big part of each paycheck
A bank levy that froze your checking or savings
Years of tax returns that never got filed
Notices like CP14, CP504 or LT11 you're not sure how to handle

What happens when you call

Calling about the IRS can feel scary. It doesn't have to be. Here's what happens:

A free, private call with me. You talk to me, Kathleen, not a call center. Tell me what's going on, at your own pace. No judgment, and no obligation.
I look at your IRS letters. I read what the IRS sent you and figure out where you really stand: what you owe, for which years, and what's coming next.
You get a clear plan. I lay out your options and next steps in plain English, so you know exactly what to do and you're not guessing anymore.

I named this business for my late husband, Steve, a CWO5 in the U.S. Marine Corps. He taught me to show up, pay attention to the details, and never leave anyone to face a hard thing alone. After 30 years in taxes, that's how I treat every person who calls me.
