Some clients owe more taxes than they can ever repay in a lifetime. Ms. Silver assesses their ability to pay off old tax debt, and recommends a course of action, whether it is applying for an Offer in Compromise, doing an Installment Agreement, being designated as currently uncollectible with zero monthly payments, or applying for bankruptcy. In addition, Ms. Silver advises her clients how to handle their current withholding or sets them up on quarterly estimates so that their tax problems don’t occur again.
In addition, she handles IRS and Franchise Tax Board audits. Starting in 2010, the IRS started hiring new auditors, and the number of audits in the US has doubled. The state taxing agencies can be more aggressive than the IRS and she handles audits with the Franchise Tax Board, EDD and State Board of Equilization.

“Dear Lori, Thank you for all of the help that you gave me. I would never have been able to navigate through all this paper work without your help. Not only were you reassuring, but you taught me along the way. There was a good feeling in your office every time that I walked in. (I love how you have decorated it.) You have surrounded yourself with positive feelings by hiring positive thinking people. I sincerely feel it was worth it, getting to know you and have you on my side. Thanks again.” — C.H.
