Marietta, United States – June 17, 2026 / Fair Tax Solutions /
MARIETTA, GA — May 26, 2026
Fair Tax Solutions, a Marietta-based IRS tax resolution firm led by licensed CPA Len Nelms, has announced expanded availability of its risk-free consultation program for individuals and small business owners currently facing IRS collection actions — including wage garnishment, tax liens, asset levies, and bank seizures. With more than 20 years of direct IRS negotiation experience and over 1,500 clients successfully guided through resolution, the firm is responding to what the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service identified in its 2024 Annual Report as a continued surge in collection enforcement activity, including a 32% increase in levies and liens issued to individual taxpayers between 2022 and 2024.

The Cost of Waiting: Why Timing Is the Most Critical Variable in IRS Resolution
When an IRS notice arrives, most taxpayers do nothing for weeks — sometimes months. That delay is often the single most expensive decision they make. Under the IRS Collections Due Process framework, taxpayers have defined appeal windows — typically 30 days from a Notice of Intent to Levy (IRS Letter 1058) — after which options narrow significantly. Missing those windows doesn’t just complicate resolution; it can eliminate entire categories of relief.
Fair Tax Solutions structures its intake process specifically around these legal timelines. The firm’s 4-step methodology begins with an immediate case assessment to identify which collection actions are active, which deadlines are imminent, and which IRS programs — including Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, or Installment Agreements — are most viable given a client’s specific financial profile. This isn’t generic tax advice. It is case-specific triage.
It’s worth being direct about one limitation: not every taxpayer qualifies for an Offer in Compromise. The IRS acceptance rate for OIC applications hovers near 30–40% depending on the year, according to IRS Data Book reporting. Clients with higher disposable income or significant equity in assets may face narrower paths. What Fair Tax Solutions provides in those cases is an honest assessment of what is actually achievable — and then a strategy to achieve it. The firm does not oversell outcomes. It negotiates them.
One pattern the firm sees repeatedly involves self-employed individuals who fell behind on quarterly estimated taxes during a slow business period, then ignored escalating IRS notices out of fear or confusion. By the time they arrive at Fair Tax Solutions, many are facing simultaneous wage garnishment threats and active liens on personal property. In these cases, the firm’s direct IRS access becomes the immediate priority — redirecting all IRS communication to Fair Tax Solutions on the client’s behalf, halting the harassment cycle, and creating the breathing room necessary to negotiate a durable resolution.
Executive Quotes
Len Nelms, CPA, Founder — Fair Tax Solutions: “The IRS has real power to disrupt your life — garnish your wages, seize your bank account, place a lien on your home. But they also have formal programs designed to resolve tax debt for people who can’t pay in full. The problem is that most taxpayers don’t know how to access those programs, and the IRS isn’t going to walk them through it. That’s exactly what we do. We fight the IRS for you, and we don’t stop until there’s a resolution on the table.”
Len Nelms, CPA, on delayed action: “The longer you wait to address your IRS concerns, the harder it becomes to settle your tax debt. We’ve seen clients lose appeal rights, lose negotiating leverage, and watch penalties compound — all because they hoped the problem would go away. It doesn’t. The IRS does not forget. But there are real solutions available right now, and a risk-free consultation costs nothing.”
