FAQ
Common questions
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. It's a free 30-minute consultation to understand your situation and explain your options. No obligation.
How much does it cost?
The first consultation is free. If you move forward, we quote an analysis fee before we pull your IRS and Hawaii tax records. After the analysis, we quote filing and resolution work separately. Each fee is agreed before that work begins.

Yes. We handle IRS matters and Hawaii Department of Taxation issues, including income tax, General Excise (GE), and Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT).
I haven't filed in years. Where do I start?
Start with a free consultation. We'll review which years are missing, help you get current, and then look at payment or relief options for any balance due. Results depend on each case's facts.
Can you stop a levy or garnishment?
Often we can request a levy release and set up a resolution such as a payment plan. Timing and outcome depend on the facts of the case, so act quickly if money is already being taken.
