How It Works
From your first call to a final resolution — here is exactly how our team of tax attorneys and ex-IRS specialists moves your case forward.
Call during business hours and you are connected with a tax debt resolution specialist right away. No appointments needed. We listen, pull the facts together, and hand you a concrete action plan — yours to keep with or without us.
Once retained, we file Form 2848 (Power of Attorney) and pull your complete IRS transcript. We learn exactly what the Service has against you before disclosing a single fact, then build the right strategy.
We present your resolution options in plain language: OIC, installment agreement, CNC status, penalty abatement, or lien release. Then we execute.
We confirm your IRS balance is resolved, lien releases are filed, and collection holds are lifted. You get written confirmation and a clear path forward.
Settle your IRS debt for less than the full amount — sometimes pennies on the dollar.

When the IRS sends a Revenue Officer or deposits a levy on your bank account, the difference between a generalist and a dedicated tax law team is enormous. Mesa Tax Law was built from the ground up for one purpose: resolving complex IRS and state tax problems for New Mexico residents and businesses.
Our network includes ex-IRS employees who spent their careers inside the agency, enrolled agents with IRS examination experience, CPAs, accountants, and licensed tax attorneys who can invoke attorney-client privilege and appear in U.S. Tax Court. Together they bring a depth of knowledge that is hard to find outside of the largest national firms — and you get it through a personal, remote consultation, not a call center.
National tax-relief firms advertise heavily, charge large up-front retainers, and hand your file to a contractor. Our specialists work directly on every case from first call to final resolution. Our ex-IRS staff know the collection playbook, the negotiation leverage points, and the procedural rules that most practitioners never learn. When you call us, you are connected to an expert who has been on the other side of the desk.
Everything we do is handled by phone, email, and a secure document portal. There is no need to travel to meet with us. We file your Power of Attorney, communicate with the IRS, handle transcript pulls, and provide written updates throughout the process. The IRS Taxpayer Bill of Rights guarantees you representation — we are the representation it was designed to enable.
Federal cases get the headlines, but the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department has its own aggressive collection division. State income tax, gross receipts tax (GRT), and compensating tax disputes all require separate representation. We handle federal and state matters together in a single engagement.
Our team resolves the full range of IRS enforcement actions: from wage garnishments and bank levies to federal tax liens, Offers in Compromise, and audit representation. Business owners dealing with payroll tax issues or a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty notice will find dedicated support as well.
We serve all communities in the greater metro: Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, Corrales, Belen, Edgewood, and Española, in addition to clients statewide for federal matters.
Call during business hours and you will be connected with a resolution specialist right away. No appointment needed. They will listen to your situation, pull your IRS account history, and give you a clear written action plan tailored to your facts. The plan is yours to keep — take it and execute on your own, use another firm, or hire us. There is no obligation.
If you decide to engage our team, the fee is a flat rate disclosed before you commit to anything. We file Form 2848 and all IRS contacts route through us from that point forward. The Taxpayer Advocate Service remains an option for cases where the IRS fails to follow its own procedures, and we use it when appropriate.
Our team is a network of ex-IRS employees, enrolled agents, CPAs, and licensed tax attorneys who focus exclusively on IRS and state tax resolution. Most generalists handle tax debt as a small part of their practice. We do nothing else. That specialization, combined with inside knowledge from former IRS staff, produces better outcomes for New Mexico taxpayers.
In most cases within 24 to 72 hours of being retained. Once we file Form 2848 and contact the Revenue Officer or Automated Collection System unit, the garnishment release goes through your employer's payroll. Every hour counts once a garnishment is active.
Potentially, yes. The IRS accepts an OIC when the amount offered equals or exceeds what they could realistically collect based on your income, assets, and allowable expenses. We calculate your Reasonable Collection Potential during the free consultation at no cost.
Yes. The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department can be as aggressive as the IRS. We resolve NM state income tax, gross receipts tax (GRT), and compensating tax issues in the same engagement as the federal matter when both are present.
No. All of our services are delivered 100% by phone, email, and secure document portal. There is no need to travel or take time off work. Our mailing address is in Albuquerque (87112), but all client work happens remotely. Whether you are in Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, or anywhere else in New Mexico, the process is the same.
We charge flat fees determined after the free consultation. Fees scale to case complexity: a simple penalty abatement costs far less than a full audit defense or multi-year OIC negotiation. You will know the total before signing anything. No hourly surprises.
This is one of the most common situations we handle. Filing delinquent returns, even late, almost always produces a better outcome than continuing to avoid the issue. We reconstruct income, file the missing returns, and then negotiate the resulting balance through an installment agreement, OIC, or CNC status.
The TFRP is the IRS mechanism for holding business owners personally liable for unremitted employee payroll withholding. Once assessed, it survives bankruptcy. If you received IRS Letter 1153, you have 60 days to protest. Call us immediately — see our payroll tax issues page for details.
