IRS and State Refunds & Balances Owed:
ARBSTAX does not receive or hold client tax refunds and does not collect IRS or state tax balances on behalf of taxing authorities. Refund status and payments are processed directly through the IRS or applicable state agency. Assistance with tax notices, balances, payment arrangements, and representation may be available as a separate professional service.
