Mirela Iwanski
Partner, balances and collection
Mirela works with people who owe the IRS more than they can pay at once, and with the notices that arrive when the agency starts to collect.
Mirela's clients usually arrive more worried about the notice than about the number. She starts by finding the number, then works out which arrangements are open and what each would take from the household each month.
She will tell you when an offer to pay less isn't a realistic option, and she'd rather say so on the first day.
Works on
- Payment plans
- Liens and levies
- Unfiled returns

How Mirela approaches a balance
She reconciles the agency's record with the client's own before anything else, because a balance is sometimes wrong, and a wrong balance is easiest to fix first.
Then she sets out the choices side by side, with what each costs per month, so a household can see the trade-offs instead of being handed a single answer.
