In their words
Cases resolved. People protected.
I came to Compliance Tax Service overwhelmed after receiving an IRS audit notice. Penelope reviewed my case with exceptional attention to detail and immediately identified the issues that had been overlooked. Her expertise, professionalism, and calm guidance carried me through one of the most stressful experiences of my life. In the end, my audit resulted in a no-change outcome and the federal tax lien against me was fully released. Penelope didn't just resolve my tax problem — she protected me. I am forever grateful for her dedication, accuracy, and commitment to her clients.
My experience with Compliance Tax Service was outstanding from start to finish. Penelope explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism and knowledge gave me complete confidence in my return. She took the time to make sure I received every deduction I qualified for, and I left feeling informed and supported. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and trustworthy tax preparation.
Ms. Penelope has been an asset to our entire family. Her years of tax experience has helped our family owned business understand our tax obligations. She has continually educated us with understanding tax planning through the years and benefits we have as owners, with paying little to no tax. Thanks so much.
Common questions
Answers before you walk in.
I already got a letter from the IRS — what should I do?
Bring it in — don't ignore it, and don't panic. Most notices have a response deadline, so the sooner we see it, the more options you have. We'll read it with you, explain exactly what it means, and handle the response.
How much does it cost?
Most engagements run $150–$450, depending on the level of analysis your IRS issue, business compliance, or tax resolution requires. We'll tell you the price up front, before any work begins.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Either works. Walk-ins are welcome at both Oak Lawn offices during business hours, and you can also book a time in advance if you'd rather not wait — including after-hours and busy-season slots.
Can you help if I haven't filed in years?
Yes. Unfiled back returns are one of the most common situations we handle. We pull your IRS transcripts, rebuild the missing years, and get you back into good standing — often reducing what you owe in the process.
Do you offer help in other languages?
We do. Interpreters are available in all languages, so you can go through every detail of your return or case in the language you're most comfortable with.
Ready to put the IRS behind you?
$150–$450 — Rates depend on the level of analysis required for IRS issues, business compliance, or tax resolution.
