Rappaport Tax Relief Expands Program to Cover Offers in Compromise and Payroll Tax Matters

Westport, United States – May 8, 2026 / Rappaport Tax Relief /

Rappaport Tax Relief, a tax resolution firm based in Westport, Connecticut, has announced the expansion of its structured tax debt resolution program, broadening access for individual and small business clients who carry unresolved IRS obligations.

Three Decades of IRS Resolution Experience Now Available to More Clients

As an Enrolled Agent, Rappaport holds one of the highest credentials the federal government issues to tax professionals, authorizing him to represent taxpayers before the IRS across all matters.

The firm operates on the principle that each tax situation demands an individualized approach rather than a standardized response. Rather than applying uniform resolution templates across cases, Rappaport Tax Relief reviews the specific financial circumstances, IRS history, and compliance status of each client before identifying a viable path forward. That case-by-case methodology has defined the practice since its founding and continues to distinguish it from volume-driven tax resolution operations.

“Over the past 30 years, I have seen hundreds of cases where clients came to me after being told they had no options, and in the vast majority of those situations, we were able to reach a workable resolution with the IRS,” said David Rappaport, Enrolled Agent and Founder of Rappaport Tax Relief. “The expanded program allows us to help more people in Westport and surrounding areas who need real answers, not just paperwork.”

What the Expanded Program Covers

The updated service structure encompasses a wider range of IRS resolution tools, including Offers in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status determinations, penalty abatement requests, installment agreement negotiations, and audit representation. These tools allow the firm to address tax debt at various stages – whether a client has recently received an IRS notice or has carried unresolved debt for several years.

For business clients, the firm also addresses payroll tax issues and trust fund recovery penalty matters, which carry significant personal liability exposure for owners and officers. IRS enforcement activity in this area has grown more pronounced, and the expanded program is structured to respond to that trend directly.

Clients seeking IRS Tax Relief Services Westport, CT now have access to an intake process designed to assess IRS standing quickly, identify any active collection actions, and determine which resolution options apply based on current IRS guidelines and the client’s financial profile.

Credentials and Credibility Behind the Practice

Enrolled Agents are further required to complete 72 hours of continuing education every three years, maintaining current knowledge of evolving tax law and IRS policy.
