Buffalo Pure Tax Resolution

Help with unpaid taxes for Buffalo-area taxpayers

Buffalo Pure Tax Resolution works with individuals and businesses in the Buffalo, New York area who owe back taxes or face collection action. The firm says it was founded to give local taxpayers a professional alternative to the tax-relief companies that advertise on television, radio and the internet. Its team includes licensed tax attorneys, enrolled agents and CPAs, and it says it negotiates with the IRS and with New York State on behalf of its clients.

Why a licensed representative

The firm argues that complicated tax problems are best handled by a tax attorney or an enrolled agent, because only they hold the privileges needed to negotiate with the IRS or state officials. It says its attorneys and agents have more than 15 years of experience of negotiating with the IRS and have helped hundreds of local clients. Contacting the IRS without help, in its words, can be as stressful as the debt itself.

Back taxes, levies and penalties

The main services are described one by one:

• Back tax relief: negotiating a settlement of unpaid federal and New York State tax through the recognized IRS routes.
• Levy and wage garnishment relief: acting for taxpayers who have received IRS letters, because the agency can take assets or wages if a deadline passes.
• Penalty abatement: strategies to reduce or remove the penalties that keep accumulating on unpaid tax.
• IRS audit representation: support through an audit and advice on avoiding future ones.

Business tax problems

For companies, the firm lists payroll tax debt, overstated deductions and misclassified employees among the problems it deals with. Its business tax advisers work with local firms of any size. A separate tax accounting service sits alongside the resolution work.

Who it serves and how it works

The firm serves Buffalo and surrounding upstate communities, naming Lancaster, Cheektowaga, Lackawanna, West Seneca, Tonawanda and Grand Island. It offers a free consultation, round-the-clock availability for clients and up-front pricing. It says it wants to pick up where faceless firms fail to deliver, and it notes that tax debt keeps growing the longer it is left, which is why it urges taxpayers to seek advice early.
