Tax Relief Services
Offers in Compromise
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.
Penalty Abatement
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.
Installment Agreements
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.
Trust Recovery Penalties
Shareholders, Officers, and certain employees can be held personally liable for a corporation’s failure to pay certain payroll taxes.
Innocent Spouse Tax Relief
Individuals who meet the criteria for Innocent Spouse Relief can be relieved of liability.
Tax Appeal Service
There are two primary avenues of appeal within the IRS: Collection Appeals Program (CAP), and Request for a Collection Due Process Hearing (CDP).
Creative Tax Relief Services
Occasionally, due to circumstances beyond the control of a taxpayer, a taxpayer cannot become eligible for any conventional tax resolution strategy.

Attorneys vs Accountants
Which is Best for You?
Resolving your tax debt typically has very little to do with accounting, and everything to do with building and presenting a strong case.
Most CPA’s have very little experience, if any, resolving back taxes. Our attorneys do nothing but resolve back taxes, day in and day out.
Negotiation and persuasive skills, not number-crunching skills, get the best results when it comes to resolving back taxes.
Tax Relief FAQs
What are the benefits of tax relief services?
The benefits of tax relief include can reduction in the amount owed, protection from enforced collection, guidance through complex procedures and laws, reduced stress associated with unpaid taxes, the exercise of a taxpayer’s rights for the benefit of the taxpayer, affordable monthly payments, and increased peace of mind.
What does tax relief cost?
The cost of tax relief depends on the nature and size of a tax liability, the strategy that best meets the taxpayer’s needs and circumstances, and the skill and experience of the tax relief service provider. Costs range between $1,000 on the low end to over $15,000 for aggravated or complex cases.
Are tax relief programs worth it?
It depends. For small, first-time tax liabilities without aggravating factors, they might not be. Other tax relief programs can save tens of thousands or even millions of dollars, or they can prevent outcomes that would be catastrophic in favor of outcomes that are manageable. Call a reputable tax relief service provider to evaluate your specific situation.
How much does the IRS usually settle for?
The average Offer in Compromise settlement in 2020 was $16,176. However, tax settlements are based on the unique circumstances of each case so a better question is “How much might the IRS accept to settle my tax liability?” Call a reputable tax relief service provider to determine whether you are a settlement candidate and what dollar amount the IRS might accept to settle your tax liability.
Can you negotiate with the IRS without a lawyer?
Yes. However, the tax collection laws, procedures, and bureaucracy are complex, and the stakes can be quite high. Depending on your circumstances, engaging an experienced tax relief attorney may be a very wise decision.
“Fortress Tax Relief, thank you immensely for the tax relief you have provided us. Your work not only helped my business greatly, it had a huge impact on my family. Although my family doesn’t know it, things such as swim class or a Dora DVD for my small children would not have been possible without you. My wife and I are very grateful and will be toasting you and your future work.”
Scott F. - PhoenixCEO 
I didn’t have tax representation, and the IRS froze all of my business bank accounts while I was out of town dealing with a death in my family. I brought in Fortress Tax Relief, and they quickly got my funds released, thereby saving me from a disaster. Their kind and caring staff never made promises they couldn’t keep, and they successfully resolved my tax issues.
George TBend Oregon
Not in my wildest dreams did I think that Fortress Tax Relief would achieve what they did. I don’t think you could find more understanding people than the Fortress staff to deal with people who are under IRS stress. Very impressive. I just want to thank Fortress for saving my life, and I really feel that way.
