The Truth About Tax Resolution Help | Tax Relief Options You Need To Know

Tax resolution help companies often make outrageous claims that they can reduce or even eliminate your tax debts by applying for legitimate IRS hardship programs.

We’ve all heard the radio and television ads for tax resolution help and their big promises such as:

• We can reduce your tax debt for “pennies on the dollar”!
• We stop wage garnishments and levies!
• And more

The truth is that while tax resolution help comes in a variety of firms such as those that you hear on ads that prey on taxpayers in distress – what I like to call the equivalent of the “ambulance chasing attorney”, no tax resolution help professional can really guarantee results. The reality of these programs for debt reduction, such as the Offer In Compromise program, is that most taxpayers don’t qualify.

Don’t get me wrong, some people do win an “offer in compromise” settlement from the IRS allowing them to settle their tax debt for “pennies on the dollar” – but these are for taxpayers who genuinely can’t pay, when all their assets and future earnings are taken into account.

Nevertheless, there are a number of legitimate ways to potentially reduce your debt, such as with a thorough review of your tax returns to determine whether the returns were prepared accurately and completely and whether a tax return amendment is a viable option to reduce your tax debt.

Certainly, resolving your tax problems will cost money and most firms will charge an up-front retainer, however after a review of your tax problem, the tax professional should be able to advise you on a course of action that will provide the tax resolution help option or options that are realistic for you.

Do I Need Tax Resolution Help?

If you owe back taxes and don’t know how you’re going to pay the debt, don’t panic, take a deep breath, and consider your options and seek out tax resolution help. Solving your tax problem without a tax professional is also a consideration and especially something that should be considered if it is a simple tax problem.

Owe Back Taxes

If you owe back taxes, there are several IRS tax relief programs to help, including:

• The IRS Fresh Start initiative which makes it easier for individual and small business taxpayers to pay back taxes and avoid tax liens
• An Installment Agreement is generally available to people who can’t pay their tax debt in full at one time. This program allows taxpayers to make smaller monthly payments until the entire debt is satisfied.
• An Offer in Compromise (OIC) lets taxpayers permanently settle their tax debt for less than the amount they owe. The OIC is an important tool to help people in limited qualified circumstances.
• In very limited circumstances, the IRS may offer a penalty abatement to people who haven’t paid their taxes because of a special hardship or other valid reason. If the taxpayer meets very narrow criteria, the IRS may approve a valid penalty abatement request.
• Interest abatement is even more limited and rarely provided.
