Why Enrolled Agents Are Often Your Best Choice for Tax Resolution
Facing tax issues can be incredibly stressful, impacting your financial security and overall well-being. At Tax Resolution Services of Hawaii, we provide tailored solutions to address the unique challenges faced by individuals and businesses throughout the islands. Whether you’re struggling with substantial IRS debt, receiving alarming notices, or managing overdue taxes, our skilled team of top enrolled agents in Hawaii is dedicated to supporting you through each stage of the process.
While many people search for a “tax lawyer,” Enrolled Agents are often the superior choice for tax resolution matters. Here’s why:
Enrolled Agents: Specialists Trained Exclusively in Tax Matters
Enrolled agents are the only tax professionals trained specifically in tax matters. They are federally licensed directly by the IRS and have a background specific to taxation. To become an EA, you must pass a comprehensive three part examination covering Individual Tax, Business Tax, and Representation Practice and Procedure.
According to the National Association of Enrolled Agents, an enrolled agent is a federally licensed tax practitioner who has unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. This means Enrolled Agents have the same representation rights as tax attorneys but with specialized focus and training exclusively in taxation.
The Enrolled Agent Advantage Over General Tax Attorneys
Tax attorneys handle a wide range of legal matters and may only occasionally deal with tax issues. Enrolled Agents, however, focus solely on tax law and IRS representation. Our Enrolled Agents complete over 30 hours of continuing education each year, ensuring they are up to date with the latest tax regulations and practices. This specialized expertise often makes Enrolled Agents more effective and efficient at resolving tax problems than general practice attorneys.
Additionally, Enrolled Agents typically offer more affordable services than a Tax Lawyer Hawaii while providing the same level of IRS representation rights. At Tax Resolution Services of Hawaii, we are committed to alleviating your tax burdens without adding financial strain through our transparent flat fee structure.

OFFER IN COMPROMISE (OIC)
An Offer in Compromise allows eligible taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed if they can demonstrate inability to pay or financial hardship. We'll thoroughly evaluate your financial situation, calculate your reasonable collection potential, and prepare a compelling application that maximizes your chances of IRS acceptance.
PENALTY ABATEMENT
The IRS assesses significant penalties for failure to file and failure to pay, which can add 25% or more to your total tax debt. We can help you request penalty abatement by demonstrating reasonable cause for non compliance, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in penalties that have accumulated on your account.
FORMALIZED INSTALLMENT AGREEMENTS
If you cannot pay your tax debt in full, a formalized installment agreement allows you to make monthly payments over an extended period. We'll negotiate with the IRS to structure a payment plan that fits your budget, with terms as favorable as possible, allowing you to satisfy your tax obligation while maintaining your financial stability.
PARTIAL PAY INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT
This specialized program allows you to make monthly payments that will not fully satisfy your tax debt before the collection statute expires. We'll negotiate the lowest possible monthly payment based on your actual ability to pay, not the total amount owed, providing relief for taxpayers facing genuine financial hardship.
CURRENTLY NOT COLLECTIBLE
If you're experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to make any payments toward your tax debt, we can help you obtain Currently Not Collectible status. This designation temporarily suspends all IRS collection activities, including levies and garnishments, providing you breathing room while your financial situation improves.
COLLECTIONS HOLD & EXTENSIONS
When you need additional time to gather documentation, complete unfiled returns, or organize your finances, we can secure collection holds and extensions from the IRS. These temporary pauses in collection activity prevent aggressive enforcement actions while we develop and implement your comprehensive resolution strategy.
LEVY/ GARNISHMENT RELEASE
If the IRS has already levied your bank account or initiated wage garnishment, we can work to secure immediate release of these collection actions. We'll demonstrate financial hardship or negotiate a payment arrangement that satisfies the IRS, allowing you to regain access to your funds and full paycheck.
FRESH START PROGRAM
The IRS Fresh Start Program expands access to various tax relief options, making it easier for struggling taxpayers to qualify for assistance. We'll evaluate your eligibility for Fresh Start initiatives, including streamlined installment agreements, offers in compromise, and lien withdrawal, helping you take full advantage of available relief programs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Representation in Hawaii
What’s the difference between hiring an Enrolled Agent versus a tax attorney?
Both Enrolled Agents and tax attorneys have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. However, Enrolled Agents specialize exclusively in tax matters and must pass a rigorous three part IRS examination specifically on taxation. Tax attorneys may handle various legal matters beyond taxation. For most tax resolution cases, Enrolled Agents are equally qualified and often more specialized, making them highly effective advocates. Additionally, Enrolled Agents typically charge lower fees than tax attorneys while providing the same level of representation.
Can you represent me if I live on a neighbor island?
Absolutely. While our office is located in Honolulu on Oahu, we serve clients throughout all the Hawaiian Islands. Most tax resolution work is conducted through phone, email, and secure document portals, so your physical location doesn’t limit our ability to represent you effectively. We’re experienced in working with clients from Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, and beyond, providing the same high quality service regardless of where in Hawaii you reside.
How much will it cost to hire Tax Resolution Services of Hawaii?
We offer transparent flat fee pricing based on the complexity of your case and the services required. During your free consultation, we’ll review your situation thoroughly and provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees. Unlike firms that charge ongoing monthly maintenance fees, our flat fee covers all work necessary to resolve your case from beginning to end. This pricing structure ensures you know exactly what to expect financially before we begin.
What if I owe both federal and Hawaii state taxes?
We handle both federal IRS tax problems and Hawaii state tax issues. Our Enrolled Agents understand both federal and Hawaii state tax laws, enabling us to address all aspects of your tax challenges comprehensively. We can coordinate resolution of federal and state tax debts simultaneously, developing a complete strategy that addresses your entire tax situation rather than just one piece of it.
How quickly can you stop a bank levy or wage garnishment?
Time is critical when dealing with levies and garnishments. Once you retain our services, we immediately contact the IRS as your authorized representatives to request release of the collection action. In many cases, we can secure release of wage garnishments and bank levies within days to a few weeks by demonstrating financial hardship, negotiating a payment arrangement, or pursuing other relief options. We prioritize these urgent situations and work as quickly as possible to restore your financial access.
