IRS and state tax resolution
Behind with the IRS? Let’s talk it through.
Dana Andrews II, Enrolled Agent, has spent 26 years in tax. Tell him what’s going on, in confidence and at no charge, and he’ll explain your options in plain English.
In Dana’s words
IRS problems are a very personal type of problem, and people often do not know where to turn for help. Many live with a back tax problem for months, sometimes years, assuming nothing can be done.
Why people call us
Something can be done, and the sooner you start, the more options stay open. You talk to a federally licensed representative who knows the ins and outs of the tax system and negotiates a solution built around your situation.

Sound familiar?
Tax problems rarely start big. They grow while we wait.
It’s easy for good, hard-working people to fall behind. What matters is what happens next.
-
The notices keep coming
Each one more urgent than the last, and opening the next feels harder every time.
-
Penalties outpacing payments
Interest and penalties keep adding to a balance you’re already struggling to cover.
-
A levy or a garnishment
Part of your paycheck or bank account is suddenly gone, and the bills don’t wait.
-
Years you haven’t filed
One missed return turned into three, and you don’t know where to start.
IRS representation
Every road out of an IRS problem, handled by one representative.
As an Enrolled Agent, Dana can speak to the IRS for you, so you stop fielding the calls and letters yourself. IRS and New York State balances alike.
-
Unfiled tax returns
The missing years prepared and filed, the first step to any settlement.
-
Penalty removal or reduction
Asking the IRS to take penalties off when there’s reasonable cause.
-
Offers in Compromise
Settling for less than the full balance, if you honestly qualify.
-
Payment plans
A monthly installment agreement sized to what you can really afford.
-
Financial hardship status
When paying would cost you basic living expenses, collection can pause.
-
Wage garnishment and bank levy releases
Fast action to get the levy lifted and your income flowing again.
-
Audits and IRS appeals
Representation through the audit, and an appeal if you disagree with it.
-
New York State tax debt
State balances resolved alongside the IRS, not left for later.
How it works
From the first call to a plan you can live with.
-

In our office or on Zoom, at no charge. Tell us what’s going on, and bring any notices you’ve received.
-
Your options, explained
We answer your questions and walk through what’s realistically available to you, in plain English.

Before any work begins, you’ll know in writing what it costs to resolve your IRS difficulties permanently.

About Dana
Twenty-six years in tax. One focus: getting you relief.
Dana Andrews II
Enrolled Agent · Founder
Dana is an Enrolled Agent, federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS on audits, collections and appeals. Over a 26-year career he has worked as a senior tax accountant, owned and run two tax franchise locations with a staff of 23, and won more than 20 Offers in Compromise and state audit representations.
He brought IRS tax help to Andrews Accounting and Tax Service for the people he kept meeting in Western New York: taxpayers who had tried to handle it themselves, or with their usual preparer, and didn’t get the relief they were seeking.

No. We prepare the missing returns and use them as the starting point for a resolution.
