Straight Talk, Up Front

Legal Disclaimer

Important disclosures about who we are, what this website provides, and the limits of our services.

Effective October 1, 2026

Express Lane Tax Bar LLC is not a law firm.

We are an Authorized IRS e-file Provider offering tax preparation and resolution support. We do not represent clients before the IRS. We are not attorneys, and we do not provide legal advice or create attorney-client relationships. If your matter requires a lawyer, we will say so clearly and help you understand why.

01

We Are Not Attorneys

Express Lane Tax Bar LLC is a tax resolution and debt solutions firm. We are not a law firm, and no one at Express Lane Tax Bar LLC is acting as your attorney. Nothing on this website or in our services constitutes legal advice, and nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship.

Some matters — for example, tax court litigation, criminal tax matters, bankruptcy filings, and disputes requiring representation in court — require a licensed attorney. If your situation calls for one, we will tell you plainly and, where helpful, work alongside the attorney you choose.

02

No Tax or Legal Advice on This Site

The content on this website is general educational information about IRS and state tax problems. It is not tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or financial advice, and it must not be relied upon as advice for your specific situation.

Federal and state tax rules change, and how they apply depends entirely on your individual facts. Before acting on anything you read here, discuss your situation with a qualified professional who has reviewed your actual notices, returns, and finances.

03

No Client Relationship

Visiting this website, calling us, emailing us, submitting a request form, uploading a notice, or using any tool on this Site does not make you a client of Express Lane Tax Bar LLC. A client relationship is formed only through a written engagement agreement signed by both you and us.

Until that agreement is in place, please do not send us confidential documents or information you expect to be protected as client work product — and never ignore a deadline on an IRS or state notice while waiting to hear from us.

04

Results Vary — No Guarantees

Every tax case is different. Descriptions of IRS programs on this Site — installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, currently-not-collectible status, and others — describe programs that exist, not outcomes we promise. The IRS and state tax authorities make the final decision on every application.

Any examples, scenarios, or illustrations on this Site are hypothetical and provided for education only. Past results in other cases do not guarantee, warrant, or predict the outcome of your case.

05

Automated Tools Disclaimer

This Site offers automated tools that explain IRS notices in plain language and suggest services and next steps based on what you type or upload. These tools use artificial intelligence and may be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Their output is not advice, is not a review of your situation by a professional, and should never be the only basis for a decision about your taxes.

Always read your actual notice carefully, note its deadlines, and confirm next steps with a qualified professional. If a notice threatens a levy, lien, or garnishment, treat its deadlines as real regardless of what any tool says.

06

Circular 230 Notice

To the extent anything on this Site could be considered written advice concerning federal tax matters: it is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code, or of promoting, marketing, or recommending any transaction or matter addressed here.

07

Third-Party Content & Links

If this Site references or links to third-party websites, publications, or government resources, those references are provided for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party resources.
