Why TruePath
IRS representation you can rely on.
A notice is the opening of a process you have the right to be represented in. Here's what working with us looks like.
Personalized Attention
Your case is handled by a specialist who knows your file — not a call-center queue.
Clear Communication
We explain what your notice means and what happens next, in plain language and in your language.
Results-Driven Strategy
We match the resolution path to your real numbers — income, assets, and where collection stands.
Representation Before Agencies
With power of attorney on file, the agency talks to us instead of you.
Who comes calling
Representation when tax agencies come calling.
In California, four agencies can put a lien on your home or take money from your paycheck — one federal, three of them the state's. We represent you before all four.
State income tax: balances, collection notices, liens and wage garnishment.
Learn MoreSales and use tax: audits, assessments and seller's permit problems.
Learn MorePayroll tax: worker classification, assessments and audits.
Learn MoreWhat we handle
Our tax resolution services.
Every tax problem has a form, a deadline, and a way out. Which path fits depends on your income, your assets, and how far collection has gone — that's what the case review determines.
Offer in Compromise
Settle your debt for less than the full balance — when you genuinely qualify under the IRS's own collectability formula. We run that math first.
For you if: assets and income can't realistically cover the balance.
Learn MoreInstallment Agreements
A monthly payment the agency accepts and you can actually sustain — negotiated against your real budget, not a number picked for you.
For you if: you can pay over time, but not all at once.
Learn MorePenalty Abatement
Penalties and their interest can outgrow the original tax. With a clean history or a documented cause, they can be reduced or removed.
For you if: penalties are a large share of what you owe.
Learn MoreLevy & Garnishment Relief
When the agency reaches your paycheck or bank account, timing matters more than anything. This is the case we move on first.
For you if: money is already being taken — call today.
Learn MoreUnfiled Returns
If you don't file, the agency eventually files for you — with no deductions in your favor. Filing the real returns often lowers the balance by itself.
For you if: you have unfiled years, however many.
Learn MoreAudit Representation
We file the power of attorney and the agency talks to us instead of you. You stop taking the calls and answering questions on your own.
For you if: you've been selected for examination.
Learn MoreOur process
A clear path toward resolution.
Four stages, in this order, always.
01
Case Review
You explain the balance, the tax years and the notices received. The initial review is free, confidential and carries no obligation.
02
Power of Attorney
We obtain authorization to communicate with the IRS or the corresponding agency and review your records and transcripts.
03
Strategy & Filing
We analyze the available resolution options, address unfiled returns when necessary and prepare the appropriate strategy.
04
Resolution
We present, negotiate and follow the case through the applicable resolution process.
About TruePath
Your partner in tax resolution.
TruePath Resolution represents individuals, families, independent workers and small businesses facing tax problems with the IRS and California's tax agencies.
We're built around a simple idea: a tax notice is not a verdict, and no one should have to face an agency alone or in a language they don't fully understand. We file the power of attorney, take the calls, and work your case toward a resolution that fits your real situation.
Experience, representation, and clear communication — for people and small businesses, in English and Spanish.
Our focus is the firm and how it works, not a single name on a door: personalized attention, an honest read of your options, and steady follow-through until the case is resolved.
