Colorado Tax Attorneys - Specialists in Self-Employed & 1099 Contractor Tax Issues
Self-employment creates unique tax complications that W-2 employees never face. Quarterly estimated tax requirements catch many contractors off guard, creating accumulating debt that spirals quickly out of control.
Our team specializes in self-employment tax debt – understanding the specific challenges of irregular income, business expense documentation, and the substantial self-employment tax burden. We’ve defended countless business expense claims and know exactly how to present your situation to IRS examiners.
Multiple years of unfiled returns represent our core expertise. We prepare accurate returns that minimize your liability while maintaining complete legal compliance, reconstructing income and expenses even when your records are incomplete.
Experienced Team of Enrolled Agents
Kyle Dickmann founded Dickmann Tax Group in 2013 in Colorado with a focused mission: provide affordable, expert tax resolution to individuals and small businesses struggling with tax debt. That founding principle guides our practice today.
Our team collectively brings over 30 years of combined experience in tax resolution, IRS representation, and accounting services. As enrolled agents – tax professionals licensed by the IRS itself – we possess unlimited representation rights before the IRS.
We maintain affordable pricing that fits your budget because we remember our founding mission. Tax problems create financial stress, and we refuse to add crushing professional fees to your existing burden.
Clear communication at every step ensures you understand exactly what’s happening with your case. You’ll never wonder about your case status or struggle to reach your representative.
Colorado-Based, Nationwide Service
Our Denver area office provides local expertise for Colorado clients while serving self-employed professionals across all 50 states. This combination delivers the best of both worlds – hometown accessibility with nationwide reach.
We represent clients before the IRS regardless of location and handle state tax issues in your home state. Whether you’re facing Colorado Department of Revenue problems or issues with California’s Franchise Tax Board, we provide expert representation.
Our understanding of Colorado tax issues runs deep, from Denver metro business considerations to mountain community challenges. We also navigate multi-state tax complications for clients operating across state lines.
The team remains accessible via phone, email, and video conferencing. Geographic distance doesn’t create service barriers when you work with Dickmann Tax Group as your Colorado tax attorney.
Transparent Process, No Hidden Fees
We provide honest assessments of settlement possibilities based on your actual financial situation. If you don’t qualify for “pennies on the dollar” settlement, we tell you upfront rather than stringing you along with false hope.
Tax resolution companies that promise everyone can settle for pennies on the dollar are being dishonest. Settlement requires genuine financial hardship, and we won’t misrepresent your options to collect fees.
Our budget-friendly representation for complex cases means you receive expert service without bankrupting fees. We believe quality tax resolution should be accessible to the people who need it most – those already struggling with tax debt.
Comprehensive Tax Solutions for Self-Employed in Colorado & Nationwide
Tax Settlement Services
Offer in Compromise represents the IRS program most people think of when they hear “settle your tax debt.” For qualifying clients experiencing genuine financial hardship, we negotiate settlements based on your reasonable collection potential.
Partial payment installment agreements allow you to make monthly payments over the collection statute period, with remaining debt expiring uncollected. This option works well for clients who can pay something but not the full amount.
Full pay installment agreements provide structured payment plans when you can afford to pay your entire debt over time. We negotiate terms that fit your budget while satisfying IRS requirements.
Currently Not Collectible status provides breathing room when you’re experiencing temporary financial hardship. The IRS suspends collection activity while you recover financially, though interest continues accruing.
Penalty abatement – both first-time penalty abatement and reasonable cause abatement – can reduce your overall debt substantially. Many clients don’t realize they qualify for penalty relief that can eliminate 25-40% of their total liability.
Every settlement strategy is based on your financial reality, not generic promises. We analyze your complete situation and recommend the approach most likely to produce favorable results.
Tax Collections Defense
Bank levy release and prevention stops the IRS from seizing funds from your accounts. For self-employed clients, bank levies can destroy your business overnight by freezing operating capital.
Wage garnishment stoppage protects your income from IRS seizure. Even self-employed individuals can face income garnishment through client payments.
Payroll levy defense protects self-employed clients with employees from having business payroll seized. Losing payroll funds creates legal nightmares and damages employee trust.
Federal tax lien release and withdrawal removes public liens that damage your credit and complicate property transactions. We negotiate lien releases when appropriate and pursue lien withdrawals for qualifying clients.
SSI/SSDI garnishment protection ensures the IRS doesn’t seize disability income needed for basic living expenses. Recent law changes have increased these garnishments, but defenses exist.
Tax return offset resolution stops the government from seizing your tax refunds to apply against back taxes. For self-employed clients with refunds, protecting these funds requires strategic planning.
Unfiled Tax Returns – Our Specialty
Multiple years of unfiled returns (Form 1040 with Schedule C) represent our core expertise. We’ve prepared hundreds of multi-year return packages for self-employed clients who fell behind on filing obligations.
Self-employment tax return preparation requires specific knowledge of Schedule C, Schedule SE, and proper business expense documentation. We prepare accurate returns that minimize your liability while maintaining full legal compliance.
1099 income reconciliation addresses situations where you received multiple 1099 forms with potentially incorrect amounts. We verify actual income and ensure your returns accurately reflect your earnings.
Business expense reconstruction becomes necessary when you lack complete records. We work with bank statements, receipts, and industry standards to document legitimate business expenses that reduce your taxable income.
Minimizing back tax liability legally requires expertise. We don’t engage in aggressive or fraudulent tactics, but we absolutely ensure you receive every legitimate deduction and credit available.
Preventing Substitute for Return (SFR) assessments motivates proper filing. IRS-prepared substitute returns disallow business expenses and claim the worst possible filing status, maximizing your liability unnecessarily.

Personalized Solutions, Not Cookie-Cutter Approaches
Large tax resolution companies process hundreds of cases monthly through standardized systems. That approach fails for complex self-employment situations that require individual analysis and creative problem-solving.
We reject one-size-fits-all service because your situation is unique. The factors affecting your ability to pay – family circumstances, business considerations, health issues, future income prospects – demand personalized evaluation.
Settlement requires genuine financial hardship. We provide honest assessment upfront rather than promising settlements to everyone who calls. If you can afford to pay your tax debt, we’ll tell you that directly and help you negotiate affordable payment terms instead.
Custom strategies based on your situation produce better results than generic approaches. We consider your complete financial picture, long-term goals, and specific circumstances when developing your resolution strategy.
Our affordable pricing model reflects our founding principle. Kyle Dickmann started this firm to provide budget-friendly expert service, and that mission guides our pricing today.
Team accessibility and clear communication mean you’re never left wondering about your case status. We return calls promptly, answer questions thoroughly, and keep you informed throughout the process.
