You don't need another notice.You need someone who resolves them.
An IRS notice that sits unanswered doesn't go away. It triggers a follow-up. The follow-up triggers a penalty. The penalty triggers interest. And if nobody responds, the IRS won't wait. It moves from notices to enforcement in the form of liens on your assets, garnishments on your payroll, or levies on your bank accounts.
All of which need someone clearing them. Someone to identify where the discrepancy started, build the case for abatement, and file it before the statutory deadline closes. Because once it does, the terms only get worse from there.
That's what a GoTeam US Tax Resolution Specialist takes on. They own your IRS caseload from the Philippines, as a permanent part of your team. They investigate every notice, research every discrepancy, and work each case through to resolution, whether that's a penalty abatement, an installment agreement, or a lien release. So the cases that land on your desk get resolved before deadlines pass and enforcement compounds.
What our US Tax Resolution Specialists are accountable for
Most offshore hires are measured by hours. At GoTeam, our US Tax Resolution Specialists are measured by outcomes, set as clear objectives and tracked as results. Here are the three they own.
Objective 1
Resolving every IRS case without missing a deadline
- Investigating every IRS notice to identify the discrepancy, build the case, and file the response before the statutory deadline
- Working each case through to its resolution, whether that's a penalty abatement, an installment agreement, or a lien release
- Tracking every open case against its statute of limitations and response deadlines so no case misses its response window
Objective 2
Keeping every case documented and audit-ready
- Maintaining a complete, current case file for every IRS engagement, from initial notice through final resolution and closure
- Documenting every IRS communication, with dates, reference numbers, and outcomes so the full resolution trail is recoverable
- Organizing all resolution records to a standard that holds up under internal review, external audit, or future IRS inquiry
Objective 3
Building systems that prevent enforcement from recurring
- Identifying what's driving repeat discrepancies and coordinating with your internal teams to fix it before new cases start
- Monitoring changes in IRS procedures, penalty relief programs, and enforcement policy so resolution strategies stay current
- Tracking abatement outcomes, settlement terms, and resolution timelines to carry what's worked before into every new case
Powered by OKRx, our AI-powered execution system. OKRx sets your US Tax Resolution Specialist’s 90-day targets and tracks them daily on a live scoreboard, so the outcomes that matter to you are the ones they're working toward.
How our Tax Resolution Specialists stay ahead of your IRS caseload
Every GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist works with a library of Claude Skills we designed for IRS case resolution, and our suite of AI tools. With these, reviewing IRS transcripts, checking abatement eligibility, and drafting responses to the IRS take a fraction of the time, so your specialist can focus on the strategic judgment and decisions that close each case.
Here's each 
Claude Skill at work:
IRS notice analysis
An IRS notice that sits unread can escalate fast. A CP501 balance due could become a CP504 intent to levy, with an even shorter window to respond. So when a notice arrives, your Tax Resolution Specialist analyzes it with Claude to classify the type, extract the response deadline, and flag whether the case needs immediate action or routine follow-up.
Transcript review
Behind every IRS notice sits a transcript that's raw, coded, and buried in references that take hours to work through manually. So your Tax Resolution Specialist reviews each transcript with Claude to decode the codes, compare them against filed returns, and surface where the IRS's records and yours don't match.
Abatement request preparation
Not every IRS penalty is final. Some qualify for a First Time Abatement, others for Reasonable Cause. But the IRS won't grant either without the right documentation behind them. So your Tax Resolution Specialist works with Claude to check your compliance history, document why the penalty qualifies for relief, and prepare the supporting evidence for submission.
IRS resolution program review
When you owe the IRS a balance, there are several resolution programs designed to settle it, such as Installment Agreements or Offers in Compromise. Each with its own eligibility rules and financial thresholds. So your Tax Resolution Specialist works with Claude to run your financials against each program's requirements and find the one you qualify for.
IRS correspondence management
Resolving an IRS case takes more than one response, and each one has to follow IRS formatting, cite the right provisions, and go out before the deadline closes. So your Tax Resolution Specialist works with Claude to draft each response with the right structure, references, and supporting evidence before it's due.
Payroll tax dispute resolution
The IRS doesn't overlook a 941 discrepancy. They assess FTD penalties and, in serious cases, pursue responsible persons individually through a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. So your Tax Resolution Specialist works with Claude to reconcile your payroll records against the IRS's, pinpoint where the numbers split, and prepare your response before it escalates.
What this means for your IRS case outcomes, and your bottom line
With AI handling the legwork, your GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist doesn't just clear your IRS cases faster. They meet every deadline and keep your penalties from compounding, all while costing you a fraction of hiring the same role locally.

Ready to hire your Tax Resolution Specialist?
Speak with our team→Your tools, your standards, your way of working
Your GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist isn’t someone you have to rebuild your process around. They work in the systems and case management platforms your team already uses, and to the standards the IRS holds you to. From day one, they fit how your team works.
Your tools
Your Tax Resolution Specialist already knows how to interpret every IRS notice type, identify the discrepancy behind it, and build the right resolution response. And can pick up your setup and workflows fast across Canopy, TaxDome, IRS Solutions, and PitBullTax. There's no training needed on the tools, and no change to how your team operates.
Your standards
Every GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist is screened against the Internal Revenue Code and the IRS's own procedural framework, from notice response protocols and collection alternatives to penalty abatement criteria and statute of limitations rules. Which means they understand how the IRS operates, not just what the tax code says, and when a case requires a response, they know which path to take and which deadline governs it.
You lead them.
We handle the rest.
Your Tax Resolution Specialist is a dedicated member of your team. You set their priorities, include them in your meetings, and direct their work like any other member of your staff. Everything else, the hiring, the admin, the equipment, the security, is handled by us. So you get a Tax Resolution Specialist on par with the best you'd find locally, without the cost and overhead of employing them directly.
Setup
Because we handle the recruiting, vetting, equipment, and IT before they start, your Tax Resolution Specialist is ready to dive straight into work in two weeks, unlike the months it takes to hire the same role locally. And we don't just hand them over. We work alongside you to settle them fully into your team over their first 90 days, so they're across your active cases, embedded in your systems, and aligned with how your team operates.
Security
A Tax Resolution Specialist handles sensitive case data every day: taxpayer records, IRS case files, and the financial details behind every resolution strategy. So we monitor their systems, manage their access, and secure their devices with endpoint and data-loss protection. For highly confidential work, we even place your Tax Resolution Specialist in a secure GoTeam-managed office in Cebu.
Frequently asked questions
What does an offshore Tax Resolution Specialist do?
A GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist is a full-time member of your team who owns your IRS cases from notice to closure. That means investigating the discrepancy behind an IRS notice, choosing the right resolution path, preparing abatement requests and notice responses, tracking statutes and deadlines, and documenting every case for audit readiness. They’re not a tax preparer, a compliance filer, or a service you engage for a single case. They’re a dedicated resolution specialist who works your caseload inside your systems, under your direction, every day.
What's the difference between a Tax Resolution Specialist and a Tax Compliance Specialist?
Focus and timing. A Tax Compliance Specialist ensures ongoing compliance: filing returns, monitoring regulatory changes, and keeping your obligations current so IRS notices don’t arrive in the first place. A Tax Resolution Specialist picks up where compliance leaves off. When a notice does arrive, whether it’s a balance-due notice, a penalty assessment, or an intent-to-levy warning, the Tax Resolution Specialist investigates the issue, prepares the response, and works the case through to resolution. One prevents enforcement actions. The other resolves them. GoTeam staffs both. So if you’re not sure which one your team needs, we’ll help you work that out on our first call.
What's the difference between a Tax Resolution Specialist and a Tax Manager?
Scope and seniority. A Tax Manager plans your company’s tax strategy, manages the tax function, and owns the compliance calendar. A Tax Resolution Specialist works within that function on a specific problem: IRS enforcement. When notices arrive, penalties are assessed, or liens and levies are filed, the Tax Resolution Specialist owns the case from investigation through resolution. Think about it this way: a Tax Manager sets the direction needed to keep your company compliant. A Tax Resolution Specialist resolves the IRS cases that pull it off course.
Can a Tax Resolution Specialist also handle tax compliance or tax preparation?
A Tax Resolution Specialist can review a return when it’s the source of an enforcement issue, pinpoint what needs correcting, and flag compliance risks they spot while working a case. But day-to-day compliance, return filing, and tax preparation aren’t what this role is built for. Those are separate hires with different skill sets. If your team needs both sides covered, we can help you work out the right combination on our first call.
What types of IRS enforcement cases does a GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist handle?
The full range, including:
- Balance-due notices and penalty assessments
- CP2000 underreporter notices
- 941 payroll tax discrepancies
- Trust fund recovery penalty cases
- IRS liens, levy actions, and wage garnishments
Whether it’s a single notice or a backlog of unresolved cases, your Tax Resolution Specialist investigates each one, identifies the right resolution path, such as penalty abatement, an Installment Agreement, or an Offer in Compromise, and sees it through from start to finish.
Can a Tax Resolution Specialist support an IRS audit?
Yes. Your Tax Resolution Specialist can prepare documentation, organize records, review transcripts, research the issues under audit, and draft responses to IRS information requests. The one thing they can’t do, however, is represent your company directly before the IRS, as that requires an Enrolled Agent, US-licensed CPA, or attorney with IRS practice rights. But that’s rarely an issue, because it’s how most teams prefer to split the workload. A representative handles the hearing. The Tax Resolution Specialist handles everything that leads up to it.
What's the difference between hiring a GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist and outsourcing to a tax resolution firm?
The working model. When you outsource to a tax resolution firm, you’re hiring a firm to handle cases on your behalf. They work from their own systems, manage their own workflow, and bill per case or per engagement. When you hire a Tax Resolution Specialist through GoTeam, you’re adding a full-time member to your team. They work in your systems, follow your processes, report to your manager, and carry your caseload every day. That means no per-case billing, no scope discussions for each new notice, and no handoff delays. They’re embedded in your team the same way a local hire would be. They don’t work for a firm. They work for you.
Do you place Tax Resolution Specialists with payroll and HCM companies?
We do. Your payroll processors and compliance staff shouldn’t be the ones resolving 941 discrepancies, FTD penalties, and trust fund recovery cases on top of everything else they do. A dedicated GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist handles that work full-time, so they don’t have to.
Do you place Tax Resolution Specialists with CPA and tax resolution firms?
Yes. If your firm handles IRS resolution work, we can place a full-time specialist on your case team. Our Tax Resolution Specialists handle the research, documentation, transcript reviews, notice responses, and case tracking that take up the bulk of every case, so your Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and attorneys can focus on the advisory and representation work that requires their credentials.
Does my Tax Resolution Specialist need to be an Enrolled Agent or a CPA?
No. A Tax Resolution Specialist spends most of their time investigating notices, researching resolution options, preparing abatement requests, drafting responses, tracking deadlines, and managing case documentation. None of that requires an Enrolled Agent or CPA credential. The only thing that does is representing your company directly before the IRS, and if your cases need that, your specialist can work alongside your authorized representative and prepare everything they need.
How experienced are GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialists?
Every Tax Resolution Specialist we place has hands-on experience with IRS enforcement cases, including notice response, penalty abatement, Installment Agreements, Offers in Compromise, and resolution pathway selection. We don’t place generalists. If your team handles a specific type of case or works at a volume that needs a certain level of experience, let us know on our first call and we’ll match you with someone who fits.
Is the Tax Resolution Specialist I hire with GoTeam fully dedicated to us?
Yes. Your GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist works only for you, as a permanent part of your team. You set their priorities and direct their work, while we handle everything that comes with employing them, from recruiting and equipment to IT and admin.
How quickly can a GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist start?
We handle the recruiting, vetting, and setup, so your Tax Resolution Specialist can be ready in as little as two weeks. Exactly how fast depends on how specialized the role is, which we’ll map out with you on our first call.
Do your specialists work US business hours?
Yes. Your Tax Resolution Specialist works your hours, in your time zone, so they’re online when your team is, when the IRS is reachable, and when your clients need same-day answers.
How does GoTeam handle data security for IRS case work?
Your Tax Resolution Specialist works under the same data security protocols as any GoTeam team member. That includes endpoint protection, data loss prevention controls, and encrypted connections to your systems. If your team handles sensitive case data that requires additional physical security, GoTeam also offers dedicated workstations in its secure Cebu office facility.
How much does a GoTeam Tax Resolution Specialist cost compared to hiring locally?
Most clients save up to 75% compared to hiring the same role locally, and the reason is the structure: you just need to cover your Tax Resolution Specialist’s salary, set at the Philippine market rate with no markup, plus a single monthly fee that covers their equipment, office, IT, security, and management. To see what that looks like for your team, talk to one of our staffing specialists.
What if the Tax Resolution Specialist I hire with GoTeam isn't the right fit?
Your satisfaction is what we’re measured on, so if your Tax Resolution Specialist isn’t a fit, we’ll replace them at no extra cost. We’re here to get you the right person at the right cost, not just anyone who can do the job.
