Resolve Complex Tax Debt with Experienced IRS Representation
Why an ex-IRS collections officer matters for your tax case
Facing an IRS, FTB, EDD or CDTFA audit or tax debt can be overwhelming, especially when liabilities exceed six figures or involve multiple entities. At Tax & Business Zone, our purpose is to help individuals and businesses move from uncertainty to actionable resolution. Martha de la Chaussee is a former IRS collection revenue officer with more than twenty-five years of service and fifteen years focused on tax representation. This background gives clients direct insight into agency procedures, collection priorities, and negotiation levers—so you get strategic, realistic options rather than generic advice.
Our approach is practical and proven: we start with a thorough review of notices, transcripts and prior filings to identify the root causes of the liability and any procedural relief available. From levy release and penalty abatement to installment agreements, Offers in Compromise and full audit defense, we develop a tailored plan. For example, a recent multi-entity case with consolidated liabilities over $250,000 resulted in negotiated installment terms, partial penalty abatement and an appeal that preserved key deductions—reducing cash flow strain and limiting enforcement actions. We represent clients before the IRS, FTB, EDD and CDTFA and prioritize clear communication at every step.
