About Instant Tax Solutions

The firm helps property owners understand whether they're paying a fair share or subsidizing someone else's underassessment. The team at Instant Tax Solutions takes a practical, results-focused approach. They're not interested in selling you services you don't need.

How They Can Help

Instant Tax Solutions offers a broad menu of tax-related services with particular strength in property tax assessment challenges and IRS resolution. For property owners, the firm starts with a free assessment review that compares your current value to recent comparable sales and the assessor's methodology. If there's a case to be made, they'll handle the full appeal process through the Board of Assessment Appeals. On the federal and state tax side, the firm resolves IRS issues including back taxes, audits, wage garnishments, bank levies, and penalty abatement requests. They're authorized to represent clients before the IRS as enrolled agents and attorneys, which means they can handle everything from an initial audit letter to a full tax court proceeding. For businesses, the firm provides tax planning services that include structure review, quarterly estimates, and guidance on minimizing property and income tax exposure. Stamford's commercial real estate market is active and competitive, and the firm regularly works with landlords, investors, and business owners who need accurate property valuations to make sound financial decisions.

What to Expect

Instant Tax Solutions starts with a quick intake call where they gather basic information about your property, your current assessment, and your goals. If you're dealing with an IRS issue at the same time, they'll assess both situations in the same conversation so you get a complete picture of your options. For property tax cases, they pull current market data, review the assessor's records, and identify the strongest arguments for reduction. If the data supports an appeal, they prepare and file all the necessary paperwork and represent you at the hearing. They're known for being well-prepared in front of assessment boards, which increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome without needing to escalate to court. For IRS matters, the process involves pulling transcripts, evaluating resolution options, and submitting the appropriate applications or negotiation requests. They communicate proactively so you're never left wondering what's happening with your case.

Service Area

Instant Tax Solutions serves clients throughout Fairfield County and the greater Stamford area, including Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk, Westport, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Stamford reassess properties?
Connecticut municipalities are required to conduct full revaluations every five years, though some towns phase in changes. Stamford follows its own revaluation schedule, and appeals are most effective immediately after a new revaluation when discrepancies between assessed and actual market value are most visible.
What if my Stamford property assessment went up after the last revaluation?
That's a common situation and worth investigating. If comparable properties sold for less than your new assessed value implies, you may have a strong case. Instant Tax Solutions offers a free review to help you understand whether the increase is justified.
Can the firm help with Greenwich property tax appeals too?
Yes. Greenwich has its own assessment office and Board of Assessment Appeals, and the firm serves clients throughout lower Fairfield County. Greenwich properties in particular often warrant careful scrutiny given the size of the tax bills involved.
What's an offer in compromise with the IRS?
It's a program that lets taxpayers settle their federal tax debt for less than the full amount owed, based on their income, assets, and ability to pay. Not everyone qualifies, but for clients who do, it can result in significant savings. The firm evaluates eligibility as part of its initial IRS resolution consultation.
How long does an IRS appeal or resolution take?
It varies significantly. Simple penalty abatement requests can be resolved in weeks. Offers in compromise typically take 6 to 12 months. Installment agreements can be set up faster if documentation is ready. The firm will give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific situation.
What documentation do I need to start a property tax appeal?
The most useful documents are your current assessment notice, recent sale prices for comparable properties in your area, any appraisals you've had done, and records of any physical conditions that might affect your property's value. The firm can also pull much of this data independently.
Is there a risk that my assessment could go up if I appeal?
In Connecticut, appealing your assessment doesn't trigger an automatic review that could increase it. The appeal is specifically about whether your current assessment is too high. That said, if the assessor believes an error was made in your favor, they have the authority to correct it. This is relatively rare and something the firm will flag if it's a concern in your specific case.
What's the difference between an enrolled agent and a tax attorney for property tax purposes?
Both can represent you in tax matters, but attorneys have the added ability to represent you in Superior Court if your property tax appeal needs to escalate beyond the Board of Assessment Appeals. Instant Tax Solutions has both capabilities in-house, so you're covered regardless of how far the process needs to go.
