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).

What is Tax Relief?

Tax relief is a term used to describe any tax benefit or reduction in tax liability that a taxpayer may be eligible for. Tax relief can take various forms, such as deductions, exemptions, credits, and exclusions.

Tax deductions reduce the amount of income that is subject to tax. Tax exemptions allow certain types of income to be excluded from taxation. Tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax owed, and tax exclusions exclude certain types of income from being taxed altogether.

Governments may offer tax relief as a way to incentivize certain behaviors, such as investing in a particular industry or making charitable donations. Tax relief can also be used as a form of social welfare to provide financial support to individuals or families who have low incomes or face particular hardships.

It’s important to note that tax relief is not a guaranteed benefit and is subject to change based on changes in tax laws and regulations.

Tax relief encompasses a broad range of methods designed to reduce any effects of a tax debt that a taxpayer considers undesirable, and/or facilitate a tax resolution agreement that is favorable to a taxpayer, and includes one or more of the following:

  • The exercise of a taxpayer’s right to be represented by a licensed tax professional
  • Defending or asserting a taxpayer’s legal rights for the benefit of a taxpayer
  • Professional guidance through a complex framework of laws, procedures, and bureaucracy
  • Reduction or elimination of the risk of enforced collections, including bank levies, wage garnishments, and asset seizures
  • Reversal or mitigation of enforced collection actions
  • The use of administrative appeals to overturn government decisions adverse to a taxpayer
  • Reduction of the amount of time a taxpayer spends dealing with a tax liability or tax debt
  • Financial restructuring that will facilitate a more favorable resolution of a tax liability
  • The reduction of stress, anguish, or aggravation associated with having unpaid taxes
  • The use of government programs to financially benefit tax debtors
  • The negotiation and implementation of a taxpayer-favorable agreement with the IRS or a state taxing authority that will resolve a tax liability via a tax settlement, reduction of tax liability, affordable monthly payments, reduction or elimination of penalties or interest, or government approved non-payment or forgiveness of a tax liability
  • 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.
