Penalty Abatement
Golden Lion was tenacious, as their name implies: they simply never gave up. The firm saved me tens of thousands of dollars on penalties and interest working on my behalf with the IRS and an east-coast state's revenue department. They knew how to work with the IRS and state governments to effectively present my case; specifically, they:
- Knew how to handle IRS and state Notices of Tax Liens and Demands for Payment.
- Filed IRS and state Penalty Abatement Petitions for the FOUR tax years' penalties and associated interest that I was facing.
- and filed rebuttals to initial IRS denials and then obtained for me "removed penalties" and "reduced or removed interest" charges.
Use them to handle your situation!

If only I had found Morgan and her team at Golden Lion six years earlier, I would have saved thousands of dollars and avoided years of frustration, anxiety, and worry in dealing with the IRS. My first mistake was thinking I should go with a well-advertised local tax-resolution firm when the IRS came knocking in 2016. I was afraid of the IRS, and this firm played on that, promising they had the expertise to fix it. I got feared into paying way too much money for three years of incompetence that resulted in the rejection of our offer in compromise due to their mistakes.
I then tried to tackle the situation on my own with the assistance of my cousin, a recently retired IRS agent. Long story short, there is only so much an ex-IRS agent can do, and two years later, we hit a dead end. The IRS refused to accept the original OIC from 2016, and because my financial situation had improved, there was no way I could requalify for a new OIC. In desperation, I contacted the office of my US congressman, former Representative Ken Buck, and spent another year getting nowhere fast. I was desperate, I was depressed, and I was feeling helpless.
That's when a mutual colleague introduced me to Golden Lion. I was initially skeptical, having gone through what I had with the previous firm, so I got my cousin, the ex-IRS agent, on a conference call with Morgan. Our takeaway was mutual: Morgan had the expertise in working with the IRS and was passionate about it, with years of experience and a highly qualified team supporting her. I remember signing the contract with a renewed sense of hope. It took several months and a lot of work on their end, but Morgan never gave up, taking my case to the highest levels of IRS appeals. And we won! My offer in compromise from 2016 was finally accepted nine years later. With penalties and compounding interest, $154k was wiped off the books, thanks to Morgan and Golden Lion, to whom I will forever be grateful.

Golden Lion Tax Solutions group is amazing. Morgan and Mariah are very professional and are experts in their field.
My brother owed 7 years of back taxes to the State of Virginia. Due to his illness, I had to take over his finances and get the taxes filed. I couldn’t resolve the tax liability with the State of Virginia on my own.
After gathering the details of my brother’s finances, Mariah and I reviewed the details for accuracy. Mariah effectively asks the right questions to avoid mistakes and errors, then we sent the Offer in Compromise. Mariah kept me apprised of situation as we waited six months. Golden Lion can be trusted to provide support and accomplish the best possible results. Virginia accepted the offer and Mariah made sure that the liability was zero. I appreciate Morgan and Mariah’s experience and knowledge to finalize this situation for me. I would highly recommend Golden Lion Tax Solutions.

Morgan along with her incredible colleague, Mariah, quite literally saved me from long term financial devastation. I can not say enough about their over and beyond expertise, assistance, kind and compassion support of the situation I found myself in. After years of being a single mom, raising and supporting three children as a realtor the accumulation of taxes was huge going all the way back to 2016. They helped me negotiate an offer and compromise that quite literally gave me "freedom" from well over $175K IRS debt. In addition, they helped me revamp my entire financial world by teaching me about all the expenses I thought I had paid other "experts" to find when preparing my past tax returns that resulted in an exorbitant tax debt over the years. Now, not only can I breath but, I'm able to open my mail, track my expenses and feel ready to move forward. There are so many unethical people out there trying to scam you to "clear" your taxes. Golden Lions is the REAL DEAL. Can't recommend them enough. They will get you the BEST outcome possible!

I have known Morgan for quite a few years. We actually worked together at another tax resolution company. I decided to retire from that organization as I felt that they did not have the best interest of their clients at heart and I could not agree with their common practices. Morgan striking out on her own and starting her own company was one of the best things for taxpayers needing help with the IRS or state tax entities. She possesses an extremely high level of integrity. That, coupled with her vast knowledge of tax issues and how to resolve them, makes her, and Golden Lion, the perfect choice for anyone facing back tax issues. I would never hesitate to enlist her aid because I know her to be an honest person, who truly cares about her clients. She understands how the burden of owing back taxes, can affect every aspect of your life and she puts her all into resolving those problems whilst keeping you protected from aggressive actions on the part of the taxing authorities. If you find yourself in the position of needing a tax resolution professional, contacting Gooden Lion is the best move you could make for yourself, your family and/or your business.

Morgan and her team were excellent with providing me important information about my tax situation and my options. Morgan and Mariah made me feel like they truly cared about what was best for me by being up front and honest about my options. She didn't try to just get my business. She is very professional, but also warm and friendly. Thank you so much.

I had a tax lien of over $200,000. Thanks to Morgan and Annie. I went from owing $200,000 to owing under $10,000. They went above and beyond for me. If you listen closely to their advice and follow it. You will get amazing results! So happy that I worked with them on this. I am now able to sleep well at night again. My nightmare is finally over!

Morgan and her staff are amazing to work with, I was terrified about the process of catching up on my overdue tax returns and the possible tax debt hanging over my head. Morgan, Mariah and Annie are all amazing and quickly alleviated my fears. While I still have quite way to go before everything is resolved I am confident that I have the best possible company assisting me.
