About CoreTax

Who we are

We're a team of tax professionals who resolve IRS and state tax problems with precision and integrity, and who tell you the truth about your options.

Our story

Tax problems are overwhelming. We make them manageable.

We are a team of tax professionals committed to resolving IRS and state tax challenges with precision and integrity. Handling tax issues alone means intricate IRS rules, forms and deadlines. We manage those complexities so you don't have to, and we stand between you and the IRS.

Plenty of companies make a hard situation worse with generic approaches and promises they can't keep. We focus on your situation, tell you honestly what you qualify for, and only recommend a path that puts you in a better position.

Whether you choose CoreTax or another expert, get professional help. If you choose us, you'll be our first priority.

Estimate only, not tax advice. Federal tax and penalties at the IRS's standard rates, before credits and state taxes. Unfiled-year tax uses 2025 brackets and assumes W-2 income had taxes withheld. Interest uses the IRS rate of 7% a year (October to December 2026), compounded daily; the rate resets every quarter.
