IRS Barking About Your Unpaid Taxes?
Request a Fresh Start!
If you’re having trouble digging yourself out of tax trouble, the IRS Fresh Start Program can give you a new leash on life.
What is The IRS Fresh Start Program?
The IRS Fresh Start Program is essentially a reset button. It offers several options to help people, just like you, get a handle on their growing tax balances and avoid collection actions. Relief programs available through the Fresh Start Program include:
- Installment Agreements (IAs) – If you owe less than $50,000 (individual), you may easily qualify for a payment plan that allows you to make reasonable monthly payments for up to 72 months.
- Offer in Compromise (OIC) – In some cases, the IRS may agree to reduce or waive your tax balance due to financial hardship. Not all will qualify for this option, but for those who do, it’s a game-changer!
- Penalty Relief – For those who have a clean filing and payment record, the IRS often allows first-time penalty abatement, which removes or reduces your penalty fees.
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for one or more of these IRS Fresh Start Program options.
Who Qualifies For a Fresh Start?
Although each available option under the Fresh Start Program has its own requirements and application processes, the following generally must be true to qualify:
- You are current on all required tax filings – no missing returns!
- You can demonstrate financial hardship.
- You don’t have an open bankruptcy proceeding or innocent spouse claim.
- The IRS is not auditing you.
Additionally, you should also owe less than $50,000, including penalty fees and interest. If your tax balance exceeds this limit, you may have other relief options, but the IRS will require substantial financial disclosure.
