Tampa CPA John McCaffrey Opens Same-Week Consultations for Florida Taxpayers Facing IRS Collection Activity

Tampa, Florida – August 11, 2026 – My Tax Relief Experts, a Tampa, Florida-based tax resolution firm, announced today that it’s accepting same-week consultations for individuals and small business owners throughout Florida who are dealing with unresolved federal tax debt, unfiled returns, or active IRS enforcement actions including wage garnishments, bank levies, and federal tax liens. John F. McCaffrey, CPA, the firm’s owner and lead tax resolution practitioner, will conduct consultations directly, in person at the Tampa office, by phone, or virtually. According to the Internal Revenue Service Data Books for fiscal years 2021 and 2023, IRS levy activity increased from approximately 362,000 levies in FY2021 to approximately 1.27 million in FY2023. The firm points to that enforcement trend as a direct reason it has prioritized expanded availability. Taxpayers who’ve been setting notices aside are running out of time to keep doing that. “We’ve grown consistently because experience and genuine personal attention produce results,” said John F. McCaffrey, CPA, Owner, CPA licensed in Florida. “Before I recommend anything, I want to see the transcripts, filing history, collection notices, and financial picture. Understanding what the IRS will actually consider is what makes a resolution strategy work.”

Key Takeaways: My Tax Relief Experts is accepting same-week consultations for Florida taxpayers facing IRS enforcement, including unfiled returns, tax debt, wage garnishments, bank levies, and payroll tax liabilities. John F. McCaffrey, CPA, has more than 31 years of tax resolution experience and has represented more than 500 taxpayers in IRS collection matters. IRS rules require full filing compliance before an Offer in Compromise application will be reviewed. Unfiled returns are the starting point, not a secondary concern. Once the IRS issues a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, a 30-day response window opens. Early action preserves procedural rights and creates more room to evaluate resolution options. With appropriate authorization, the firm handles IRS collection communications and negotiations on the client’s behalf throughout the resolution process.

Why Is My Tax Relief Experts Expanding Same-Week Consultations?

John F. McCaffrey, CPA, is the owner and lead tax resolution practitioner at My Tax Relief Experts in Tampa, Florida. The firm represents individuals and small businesses in IRS collection matters involving federal tax debt, unfiled returns, bank levies, wage garnishments, federal tax liens, and payroll tax liabilities. The expansion of same-week availability is a direct response to rising IRS enforcement activity. When levy volume more than triples in two fiscal years, the taxpayers who need help most are often the ones who’ve waited the longest to ask for it.

What Happens If You Wait Too Long to Respond to an IRS Notice?

Consider a self-employed contractor who falls behind on two filing years during a stretch of reduced income. Notices arrive. They get set aside. By the time that person reaches out to a tax resolution professional, the IRS has issued a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and the 30-day response clock is nearly gone.

That situation is still workable. But here’s what changes: the available tools narrow, the procedural rights that existed earlier are no longer available, and there’s almost no margin for a slow start. A federal tax lien, which is the government’s legal claim against a taxpayer’s property when federal tax debt goes unpaid, may already be on file. A bank levy, which is an IRS collection action that allows funds in a bank account to be seized after required collection procedures have been followed, may be days away. Waiting doesn’t hold the situation in place. It moves it forward on the IRS’s terms.

How Does John McCaffrey Evaluate an IRS Tax Resolution Case?

Before recommending any resolution path, McCaffrey pulls IRS account transcripts directly, confirms complete filing compliance, reviews all active collection notices, and analyzes verified financial documentation. That sequence matters because an incomplete submission doesn’t just get rejected. It can delay resolution and consume weeks while enforcement remains active. The firm then evaluates which resolution options actually fit the taxpayer’s circumstances. Those options may include an Offer in Compromise (OIC), which is an IRS program that allows qualifying taxpayers to settle an eligible tax debt for less than the full balance owed, structured installment agreements, Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status, which is a temporary IRS collection status for taxpayers who can demonstrate that making payments would create financial hardship, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty defense for business owners with payroll tax liabilities, and penalty abatement where compliance history supports it.

Does Every Taxpayer Qualify for Tax Relief?

Not every taxpayer qualifies for every resolution option. Eligibility for an Offer in Compromise, installment agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, penalty relief, or another collection alternative depends on filing compliance, financial circumstances, the type of liability, and other IRS requirements. The firm does not represent that any particular outcome is guaranteed. What the firm commits to is reviewing the taxpayer’s filing history, IRS transcripts, collection notices, and financial circumstances before recommending a resolution strategy.

Who Should Consider a Same-Week Consultation?

Same-week consultations are intended primarily for taxpayers who have received an IRS collection notice they haven’t acted on, have multiple unfiled returns, are facing a wage garnishment or bank levy, or own a business with unresolved payroll tax liabilities. Taxpayers in those situations are typically operating inside a shrinking window. Acting before the IRS forces the next move is what keeps more options on the table.

How Is My Tax Relief Experts Different From a National Tax Resolution Firm?

Large national operations typically route new clients through intake staff. Case files can sit for weeks before someone with actual resolution authority reviews them. At My Tax Relief Experts, McCaffrey reviews each case personally, contacts IRS representatives directly on the client’s behalf with appropriate authorization, and builds a resolution strategy around that client’s specific financial position. Flat-rate pricing means the fee is agreed on before work begins, with no charges added after the fact.

The firm serves Tampa Bay and clients throughout Florida, with consultations available in person, by phone, or virtually.

How Do You Schedule a Consultation?

If you’ve received an IRS notice you haven’t responded to, or you know your tax situation is unresolved, don’t wait for the next enforcement action. Contact My Tax Relief Experts today to schedule a same-week consultation with John McCaffrey directly.
