WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens During Your Free Consultation

Many people put off calling because they don’t know what to expect — or they’re afraid they’ll be pressured into something they can’t afford. Here’s exactly what happens when you reach out to Global Gate Tax Relief:

  1. You Tell Us Your Story

    Your consultation begins with a confidential conversation. We ask you about:

    • The IRS notices you’ve received (such as CP14, CP504, LT11, or CP90)
    • How much you believe you owe (or whether you’re unsure)
    • Whether you have unfiled tax returns
    • Any collection actions you’re facing — levies, liens, or garnishments
    • Your current financial situation in general terms
    • What your biggest concerns and fears are

    This conversation typically takes 15–30 minutes. We don’t ask for your Social Security number or any financial account information during this initial call. We simply need to understand the scope and urgency of your situation.

  2. We Provide an Initial Assessment

    Based on what you tell us, our tax professional provides:

    • A clear explanation of your situation — We translate IRS jargon into plain English so you understand exactly what’s happening and what the IRS is doing (or about to do).
    • An overview of your resolution options — Depending on your circumstances, we’ll explain which programs and strategies may apply to your case, such as Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, Penalty Abatement, or the IRS Fresh Start Program.
    • Urgency assessment — Some situations require immediate action (bank levies, final notices, upcoming deadlines). We’ll tell you clearly if you’re in an emergency situation and what needs to happen right away.
    • Honest expectations — We don’t promise results we can’t deliver. If your situation calls for a specific approach, we’ll tell you. If we think you can handle something on your own, we’ll tell you that too.

  3. We Explain Next Steps (No Obligation)

    If professional representation makes sense for your case, we explain:

    • What the engagement would involve
    • The expected timeline
    • A clear, upfront fee estimate — no hidden costs
    • What you’d need to provide (documents, access to IRS transcripts, etc.)

    If you decide not to move forward, that’s completely fine. You’ll still leave the call with a better understanding of your situation and your options. We never pressure anyone into hiring us. Our belief is simple: if we give you honest, helpful information, you’ll come to us when you’re ready — or recommend us to someone who needs help.

What to Prepare Before Your Consultation

You don’t need to have everything organized to call us. We’ve helped people who called with nothing more than anxiety and a general sense that they owe the IRS money. However, if you have any of the following available, it helps us give you a more specific assessment:

  • IRS notices Any letters or notices you’ve received from the IRS
  • A general idea of what you owe Even a rough estimate helps
  • Knowledge of which tax years are involved Filed vs. unfiled years
  • Information about any collection actions Garnishment, levy, lien, or Revenue Officer contact
  • Your filing status and dependents Basic household information
  • Employment status W-2 employee, self-employed, business owner, retired, unemployed
OUR APPROACH

How Global Gate Tax Relief Evaluates Your Case

During and after your consultation, our team evaluates your case across several dimensions:

  1. Compliance Status

    We determine whether all required tax returns have been filed. If you have unfiled returns, this is typically the first issue to address, as the IRS requires compliance before approving most resolution programs.

  2. Total Liability Assessment

    We calculate your actual tax liability — which may differ significantly from what the IRS says you owe, especially if the IRS filed Substitute for Returns on your behalf. We obtain and analyze your IRS transcripts to verify every assessed balance, penalty, and interest charge.

  3. Collection Status Review

    We determine whether all required tax returns have been filed. If you have unfiled returns, this is typically the first issue to address, as the IRS requires compliance before approving most resolution programs.

  4. Financial Analysis

    Using the IRS’s own Collection Financial Standards, we analyze your income, expenses, assets, and equity to determine which resolution programs you qualify for. This analysis drives the strategy — whether you’re a candidate for an Offer in Compromise, an installment agreement, CNC status, or another approach.

  5. Statute of Limitations Review

    We check the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) for each tax year. Some liabilities may be close to expiring, which significantly affects the resolution strategy.

  6. Strategic Recommendation

    Based on all of the above, we develop a recommended resolution strategy — or multiple options ranked by likely outcome, cost, and timeline.

From Consultation to Resolution: The Timeline

Many clients want to know: “How long will this take?” Here’s a realistic timeline from your first call to resolution:

Phase Typical Timeline
Free consultation Same day or next business day
Engagement and Power of Attorney filing 1–3 days
IRS transcript analysis and investigation 1–2 weeks
Compliance phase (filing unfiled returns) 2–6 weeks
Financial analysis and strategy development 1–2 weeks
Resolution submission and negotiation 1–6 months (varies by program)
Total: simple cases 30–90 days
Total: complex cases (OIC, Appeals, multi-year) 6–12+ months

For emergency situations — active bank levies, wage garnishments, or imminent deadlines — we take immediate action, often within 24–48 hours of your call.

Case Study

From Panic to Peace of Mind

Angela, a single mother and nurse in Ohio, received a CP90 notice — a Final Notice of Intent to Levy — threatening to seize her bank account for $34,000 in back taxes from 2018 and 2019. She had 11 days left before her appeal deadline expired. Angela was terrified and had no idea what to do. She found Global Gate Tax Relief online and called us at 8:30 PM on a Tuesday night.

A tax professional called Angela back first thing Wednesday morning. During the free consultation, we learned that Angela’s tax liability stemmed from an early 401(k) withdrawal during a medical emergency and underreported 1099 income from a side nursing job. She had been sending the IRS $200/month informally but never set up an official agreement.

By Thursday afternoon — less than 48 hours after her first call — we had filed a Power of Attorney, requested a Collection Due Process hearing (stopping the levy), and begun pulling her transcripts. Over the following weeks, we applied for first-time penalty abatement (removing $7,400 in penalties), established a formal installment agreement of $425/month, and got the IRS to apply her previous informal payments to her balance.

Angela’s final resolution: a manageable monthly payment, no levy, no garnishment, and the first good night’s sleep she’d had in two years.
