Why this matters for your case
Authority you can hold in your hands
When you owe the IRS, you want representation that knows the collection process cold — not from a seminar, but from the inside. Our founding attorney mapped that entire process into a book so taxpayers could understand it. That is the same knowledge working on your file.
Experience — Three decades in the trenches
The book distills what it took thirty-plus years of civil and criminal tax collection work to learn — the forms, the deadlines, and the language that actually moves a case.
Expertise — The full collection playbook
Liens, levies, appeals, financial standards, Offers in Compromise, bankruptcy, innocent-spouse relief — 22 chapters covering the strategies the firm uses every day.
Authority — Published and on the record
A cataloged, ISBN-registered first edition written under the author's own name. When you hire the firm, you hire the source — not a summary of it.

Frequently asked
About the book and its author
Who wrote TAXJAMS: Simple Solutions?+
TAXJAMS: Simple Solutions was written by Gregory M. McCauley, Esq., a tax attorney with more than 30 years of federal tax controversy experience and the founding attorney of McCauley Law Offices, headquartered in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. McCauley is admitted to the United States Tax Court and to the bars of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
What does the book TAXJAMS cover?+
TAXJAMS is a 336-page, 22-chapter field guide to the IRS collection and examination process. It walks taxpayers through their rights, tax compliance, case analysis, the statute of limitations, liens and levies, the IRS Appeals process, Collection Financial Standards, Collection Information Statements, Currently Not Collectible status, installment agreements, penalty abatement, Offer in Compromise, tax bankruptcy, innocent and injured spouse relief, audits and audit reconsideration, and how to retain a qualified representative.
Is TAXJAMS written for taxpayers or for attorneys?+
TAXJAMS is written for taxpayers and small business owners who want to understand what the IRS is doing and why. It is published as a self-help guide in plain English. Attorneys, CPAs, and enrolled agents also use it as a procedural reference, but no prior tax or legal background is required to read it.
Does reading TAXJAMS replace hiring a tax attorney?+
No. The book is educational. It is not legal advice and reading it does not create an attorney–client relationship. For a specific IRS matter — especially one involving a lien, levy, wage garnishment, audit, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty assessment, or criminal investigation — taxpayers should consult a licensed tax attorney about their own facts.
When was TAXJAMS published and what is the ISBN?+
TAXJAMS: Simple Solutions was published in 2012 by TAXJAMS, Inc. The first edition is a hardcover, 336 pages, with ISBN 978-0-9851351-0-2.
How is McCauley Law Offices related to the book?+
McCauley Law Offices is the law firm founded by the book's author, Gregory M. McCauley, Esq. The same procedural framework taught in TAXJAMS — analyze the case, stop enforced collection, then resolve the liability — is the framework the firm applies to every IRS collection, examination, and Tax Court matter it handles.
