IRS Tax Debt Programs
Tax Debt Relief
Tax debt relief comes in many different forms, each
of which varies depending on how much you owe, to whom
you owe it, your current financial situation, and any
applicable penalties. Therefore, describing tax debt
relief in one simple paragraph is all but impossible.
Please take advantage of the helpful guides that follow
to find your debt solution:
Offer in Compromise
An offer in compromise can be the best solution for
ridding yourself of tax debt to the IRS. In this offer,
your debt is cut substantially on the assumption that
you will be able to pay off the smaller amount, and
the guarantee that you will pay your taxes for the next
five years. This is a formal contract between you and
the IRS. Therefore, it needs to be negotiated carefully
by a tax specialist.
Tax Penalty Abatement
Tax penalties normally are added onto taxes you owe
to the IRS, as this is an automated process performed
by a computer. Sometimes, these penalties can be inaccurate
or completely unwarranted. Working with a tax specialist
can help you fight and dismiss such penalties, as trying
to do it yourself can be very difficult.
Wage Garnishment Release
When taxes owed to the IRS go uncollected for a long
enough period of time, liens or wage garnishments can
soon follow. Such actions can stretch your budget to
the point where you can no longer support yourself or
your family. Tax specialists can help you negotiate
a wage levy release, and can potentially freeze all
future collection activities by the IRS.
IRS Payment Plans
Regardless of tax type (payroll, employment, income,
etc.), IRS payment plans can be a great solution to
dealing with the burden of a large tax debt. IRS payment
plans are interest-free and can be negotiated by a tax
specialist/professional. This can be an excellent alternative
for someone who does not, or cannot, organize an offer
in compromise.
