One common approach for companies who provide tax relief services is called an Offer in Compromise. It is a tax debt settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (or state taxing authority) for less than the full amount owed.
If you do not qualify for an Offer in Compromise, an alternative method of reducing the amount of tax debt, is to try to have tax penalties be reviewed and obtain an abatement of penalties.
Another tax relief service is commonly called an Installment agreement. This can be the best way to resolve your debt tax liability. In this case, the taxpayer can arrange for payments to the IRS.
Shareholders, Officers, and certain employees can be held personally liable for a corporation’s failure to pay certain payroll taxes.
