Are You an Illinois Restaurant or Bar Owner Who Owes Taxes?

Tax Resolution Can Serve Up Tax Debt Relief that Gets You Cooking Again in Cook County

You always desired to own a Cook County restaurant or bar. Run a locale where people could unwind. Let their hair down. Have a tasty meal. Enjoy the companionship of buddies.

The time and tasks were daunting. The repeat clientele from Cook County, and smiles on people’s faces, made it all worth it. Your dream was alive.

Why did the portentous letters from the Internal Revenue Service, claiming you owe back taxes, start? Why does the Illinois Department of Revenue threaten that you owe sales taxes, or payroll taxes … or both? What happened?

The reasons could be many. The market segment of your organization, for one. Being cash-intensive businesses, bars and restaurants are frequently targeted for audits by tax agencies in Cook County.

Sometimes inquiries are prompted when information from credit card companies doesn’t jibe with the tax returns from these types of organizations.

Have you accidentally filled out sales tax forms wrongly, or missed filings? If so, the IRS and IDOR calculate what you owe – and it always leans toward more, not less.

It’s feasible your filed tax returns don’t list all eligible expenses (especially payroll and food), leaving you paying more taxes than you should be.

The “why,” at this point, might be immaterial. As tax troubles accumulate, you’re just fearful about losing the place – “your” Cook County place – that you worked so hard to build. Maybe, sadly, it’s already closed … but the tax collectors keep pestering you.

Don’t lose hope. Instead, give Alliance Tax Resolution Service, the Midwest’s premier tax resolution firm, a chance to fix your tax situation.

We promise a way out can be negotiated. We can’t promise how it will be settled. We do promise to find you the lowest possible settlement permitted by law.

Since 2009, we’ve negotiated tax debt relief plans for bars and restaurant owners in Cook County who faced unanticipated tax issues. They aren’t criminals or tax cheats. When they opened their operations, though, no one enlightened them they would be under the magnifying glass of state and federal tax enforcers. One or two errors, and they pounce.

The wrong plan is to overlook the reality, and cross your fingers it goes away. It won’t. Interest and penalties will grow. Before long, ominous letters could be joined by garnishments from your bank account.

Don’t let the trouble get this serious. Alliance Tax Resolution Service is a no-judgment zone that aids clients who have made honest errors or, as with Cook County bar and restaurant owners, work in a market segment targeted for heavy tax enforcement.

You probably know the IRS and Illinois Department of Revenue aren’t your friends. You might even wonder if they’re out to “get” you. Give us your problems, and we’ll manage all communication and negotiation with these powerful agencies. We’ll find a remedy, and a payment plan and tax relief program that you can make work.

Why dither? Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service. We’ll fix your tax issues, and get you back in the Cook County place you want to be.
