If the IRS has assessed penalties for late filing or late payment, you may qualify for First Time Penalty Abatement. It's one of the most underused relief options available. Most taxpayers don't know how to get an abatement, but we do.

Owing the IRS doesn't mean you're out of options. Installment agreements, penalty abatement, and Offers in Compromise are all real paths forward. The right resolution strategy depends on your specific situation, and there's always a way through. We can help you find it.

📌 Tax filing is necessary… but tax strategy is where the difference happens. 📊

After 20+ years in accounting, I’ve learned that the best results happen when tax professionals and business owners stop working in separate worlds and start planning together. 🤝

📄 Compliance looks backward.
🔎 Strategy looks forward.

The businesses that thrive are the ones built with intention — focusing on:

✅ Structure
✅ Strategy
✅ Protection
✅ Legacy

At Alpina Tax, we help business owners move beyond just filing taxes and start making proactive decisions that support their goals — all year long. 🚀

🚨 Don’t leave your tax refund to chance!

Every tax season, we see how simple choices can make the filing process go more smoothly. One of those choices is selecting direct deposit for your refund. Here’s a helpful reminder from the IRS on why it’s the preferred option. 


Paper checks are more likely to be lost, stolen, altered, or delayed than electronic payments. Provide the your account information when filing your return to get your tax refund directly into your bank.

Think the IRS only audits high earners? Think again. Small businesses and individual filers get flagged every day. Knowing where you stand starts with monitoring your IRS transcripts and identifying red flags before they become real problems.

Tax season may be over, but the IRS doesn't take a summer break. Audits, liens, and collection actions can happen any time. We keep a close eye on your account all year round so nothing catches us off guard.

Did you know that while the standard audit window is 3 years, a 6-year period applies if you underreport income by more than 25%. There is no statute of limitations in some scenarios. That's why proactive transcript monitoring matters. We stay one step ahead by tracking changes to our clients' accounts and alerting them before surprises land in the mailbox. Contact us today.
