21 Century Tax is an Idaho company built by tax resolution professionals to close the gap between a resolved IRS case and a client who stays out of trouble.
Resolution firms are good at what they’re built for: stopping collection and negotiating the debt. But a resolved case is rarely a finished one. The same client often still has unfiled years, a payroll account sliding behind, books nobody has touched, and no plan to keep it from happening again.
Most firms either turn that work away or never see it. The client walks out with an agreement and walks back in two years later with a new balance.
We built 21 Century Tax to do that work, through the firms clients already trust. Resolve the debt, get the client current, then help them plan so the problem doesn’t come back.
We’re just as comfortable working as the service division behind a firm that focuses on sales, or as an affiliate that firms hand clients to. Every engagement starts with a warm handoff, so we build on trust the client already has. That works the same whether the handoff comes from a resolution firm, a CPA, an attorney, or a financial advisor. Either way, the work gets done right and the client stays with the firm they chose.
Services are named for the result the client gets. The technical detail stays with our team.
Circular 230 standards on every sale and every engagement. No exceptions for a partner’s convenience.
Everyone on our team, sales included, is trained before they work with a client and kept current as the rules change.
Our clients aren’t always comfortable with technology, so our team handles setup and data entry.
Clients are represented before the IRS only by practitioners authorized under Circular 230.
Section 7216 consent before any tax information is shared, and a written security plan behind every file. How we handle client data
Any professional whose clients bring them tax problems they can’t solve in house.
