A Tax Titan will call within 24 hours to review your case. Your information stays confidential.
One big check, twelve small ones, and a tax bill that arrived all at once.
Most artists and producers we help didn't do anything shady. Income showed up from DistroKid, BeatStars, Spotify, a sync placement, cash gigs — with nothing set aside. Here's what that usually looks like:
A placement, advance, or tour year spiked your income. The IRS bill landed the next year, when the money was gone. (This is exactly what settlements are designed for.)
Distributors, PROs, beat marketplaces, sync agents, venues — every one reports to the IRS. Miss one and the IRS "corrects" your return upward.
Equipment, software subscriptions, studio time, mileage to gigs — if it wasn't deducted, your balance is inflated.
A federal tax lien shows up in due diligence on advances, publishing deals, and catalog sales. Clearing it protects the deal.
Investigation & representation
We pull your IRS transcripts, see exactly what's filed, unfiled, and owed, and appoint a licensed Tax Titans representative so the IRS talks to us — not you.
Resolution
Once we have the facts, we file what's missing, correct inflated balances, and pursue the best resolution for your situation — settlement, payment plan, or hardship status.
What the first 30 days look like for artists and producers
One big year (placement, advance, or tour), a slow year after it, 1099s from five or six platforms, and a lien or levy notice.
- Pull IRS transcripts to see every 1099 that was reported and what was assessed
- File power of attorney so the IRS calls us, not you
- Request a collection hold while the missing years get filed with studio, gear, software, and travel deductions
Because creative income is irregular, an Offer in Compromise or hardship status is often on the table. If a lien is blocking a deal, resolving it is part of the plan.

My income is all over the place. Can I still get a settlement?
Irregular income is often the strongest case for an Offer in Compromise — the IRS looks at what you can pay going forward, not just the big year that created the debt.
I have 1099s from five different platforms. Which ones matter?
All of them. Distributors, PROs, beat marketplaces, sync agents, and venues all report to the IRS. We pull your IRS transcripts to see exactly what was reported, so nothing gets missed.
Can a tax lien mess up a record or publishing deal?
It can surface in due diligence and complicate advances or catalog sales. Getting into good standing and resolving the lien protects the deal.
What about cash gigs and merch?
It's still income, and it's better handled proactively than discovered later. We'll show you how to report it cleanly and what deductions offset it.
Do I have to come to an office?
No. Everything is done by phone, text, and email, scheduled around sessions and shows.
How much does it cost?
