Tax Relief Services
When the IRS or a state tax authority comes knocking, you don’t have to face it alone. New England Tax Relief provides skilled, personal representation for individuals and businesses dealing with audits, disputes, and collection actions-helping you resolve tax problems efficiently and protect what you’ve built.
Why Work With Me
Tax problems are stressful, technical, and often time-sensitive.
Missing a deadline or mishandling correspondence can turn a manageable issue into a serious liability. I’m both an attorney and a CPA, with 44 years of experience negotiating directly with the IRS and state agencies, so you get legal and financial expertise under one roof. You’ll work with me directly from start to finish: no handoffs, no junior associates, just one person who knows your case inside and out and knows how these processes actually work.
Four decades in tax relief.
I’ve resolved everything from routine back-tax notices to complex IRS collections cases. That kind of range means I usually know your options before you’ve finished explaining the situation.
An attorney, not just a preparer.
As a licensed Attorney and CPA, I can negotiate directly with the IRS and represent you in Tax Court if it ever comes to that. What you tell me is also protected by attorney-client privilege.
No judgment, ever.
Most people who call me have been avoiding this for months, sometimes years, out of embarrassment. I’ve heard every version of how tax debt happens. My only job from here is fixing yours.
There is a common thread to tax problems. I deal with all of them.
Whether you’re facing wage garnishment or bankruptcy, you are not alone. I can find a solution for your specific problem and situation. Read on to learn more about these common tax issues.
IRS Audit Representation
I manage every stage of an audit on your behalf-reviewing notices, preparing documentation, communicating with examiners, and advocating for the most favorable outcome. You never have to speak with the IRS directly.
Penalty Abatement
If you’ve been assessed penalties for late filing, late payment, or other compliance issues, I evaluate your eligibility for penalty relief and prepare the requests needed to reduce or eliminate them.
Offers In Compromise
For taxpayers who can’t pay their full tax liability, I assess whether an Offer in Compromise is a viable path to settle your debt for less than what’s owed, and manage the application process from start to finish.
Installment Agreements & Payment Plans
I negotiate manageable payment arrangements with the IRS or state agencies, structured around your actual financial situation.
Tax Liens & Levy Releases
If a lien has been filed or your wages, bank accounts, or other assets are at risk of levy, I act quickly to pursue release, withdrawal, or subordination and to stop further collection action.
IRS Appeals
When you disagree with an audit result or collection determination, I represent you before the IRS Office of Appeals to seek a fair resolution outside of court.
Tax Court & Litigation Support
For disputes that require litigation, I represent clients directly in Tax Court, preparing and litigating petitions myself, and coordinate with outside litigation counsel when a matter calls for additional support.
Unfiled Returns & Voluntary Disclosure
If you have unfiled returns or unreported income, I help you get back into compliance through the appropriate voluntary disclosure or filing programs, minimizing penalty exposure.
State & Local Tax Controversies
Beyond federal matters, I represent clients in disputes with state departments of revenue, including audits, residency disputes, and collection actions.
Innocent Spouse Relief
I help eligible taxpayers pursue relief from tax liabilities arising from a spouse’s or former spouse’s errors or omissions.
Bankruptcy & Tax Debt Elimination
I assess whether tax debt can be discharged through bankruptcy and coordinate with bankruptcy attorneys to determine the best path forward.
Don’t Let the IRS Own Your Life.
Testimonials
What Taxpayers Say About Working Together
I never felt so relieved to know I can finally have someone on my side giving me the right advice to get through my financial issues. I knew she cared about what I was going through, and wanted to help.
Theresa M.
In the end she was able to get our tax debt reduced to $36,000. This was 22 cents on the dollar from what we owed. We HIGHLY recommend Patricia Gentile. She never once judged us for the situation we were in. She wanted to resolve the issue and she did that.
Susan R.
In my first meeting with Pat, I realized that she would take control of the situation. I had needed an IRS ‘specialist’ for some time and slept soundly for the first time in a long time. I just wish I had reached out to her earlier.
