Serving taxpayers across Orange County

We're headquartered at 1551 N Tustin Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92705, in the heart of Orange County, and we help individuals and small businesses throughout the county — Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Orange, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo and beyond — as well as taxpayers nationwide. Because most of the work happens by phone, email, and secure document upload, you get an experienced local team without rearranging your week.

An IRS balance is unlike any other debt. The IRS can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, seize a state refund, and file a public lien against your home — often after notices people set aside hoping the problem would pass. It rarely does on its own. But there are established federal programs to stop the bleeding and resolve the balance, and the sooner you act, the more options you keep.

How we help Orange County taxpayers

Offer in Compromise — settling for less than the full balance when you genuinely qualify. Estimate first with the OIC calculator.
IRS payment plans — manageable monthly installment agreements that stop the escalation.
Penalty abatement — removing penalties when you have reasonable cause or a clean prior history.
Wage garnishment & bank levy release — pursuing a stop or hold on active collection.
Federal tax lien help — release, withdrawal, or subordination of a lien on your OC property.
Unfiled returns — getting years of back returns filed and you back into compliance.
Currently Not Collectible status — pausing collection when paying anything would create real hardship.

A local firm, not a call center

National tax-relief chains advertise heavily and route you through a sales floor. We do it differently: a real tax professional reviews your case, our work is overseen by Melissa Ly, EA, our Chief Tax Officer, and you get a flat fee in writing before you pay anything. We'll also tell you honestly if you don't need us — sometimes the right move is a simple plan you can set up yourself, and we'll say so.

Orange County tax relief: common questions

Which Orange County cities do you serve?

All of them. From our Santa Ana office we help taxpayers throughout Orange County, including Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Orange, and the surrounding cities, as well as clients in all 50 states.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The first conversation is free and confidential. We review what the IRS is doing, explain your options in plain English, and quote a flat fee in writing before you decide whether to move forward. There is no obligation.

Can you help if I owe both the IRS and California (FTB)?

Yes. Many Orange County taxpayers owe both the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board. We focus on IRS resolution and can coordinate your federal strategy so a state balance is accounted for, since the two agencies collect separately.

How fast can you respond to an IRS deadline?

Quickly. If you have a notice with a near-term deadline, call (888) 825-7779 right away. Once you are represented we can contact the IRS on your behalf, and acting before a deadline passes preserves the most options.

Results vary based on individual facts and circumstances. Not all taxpayers qualify for settlement or relief programs, and no specific outcome is guaranteed. Clarity Tax Relief is not affiliated with the IRS. This page is general information, not tax or legal advice.
