About Timothy Simons
If the IRS has filed a lien, levied your account, or you’re years behind on returns, you don’t need a lecture. You need a plan and someone authorized to execute it.
I’m an Enrolled Agent, federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states, with an accounting degree, an MBA, and a background that includes KPMG. My firm, Simonsgroup Tax Advisory, handles the cases where stakes are high: back taxes, unfiled returns, liens, levies, payroll tax issues, and state tax debt.
Here’s how we work:
• Stop the bleeding first. Collection holds, levy releases, and direct contact with the IRS so you stop fielding the calls and letters yourself.
• Negotiate from the facts. Installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, currently-not-collectible status. We pursue the option your numbers actually support, not the one that sounds best in an ad.
• Fix what caused it. Most tax problems are structural: entity setup, withholding, estimated payments, bookkeeping. We rebuild that foundation so you don’t end up back here in three years.
No judgment about how you got here. Most of my clients are business owners and professionals whose situation simply outgrew their systems. The first conversation is a straightforward review of where you stand and what your realistic options are.
