Next, we gather your financial documentation and prepare your case.

Five Ways We Slash Your Debt

The IRS Fresh Start Program offers multiple paths to relief, and we know exactly which one fits your situation. Installment agreements let you pay reduced amounts over time. Offers in Compromise can eliminate up to 90% of what you owe for pennies on the dollar. Penalty abatement removes crushing penalties that often double or triple your original debt. Currently-not-collectible status stops all collection activity when you genuinely can’t pay. Lien withdrawal clears your credit and protects your assets. In Stroud and throughout Monroe County, we’ve seen families buried under $50,000+ in tax debt walk away paying less than $5,000. Small business owners who thought they’d lose everything keep their doors open and their employees paid. The program works – but only if you know how to navigate it properly.

How much of my tax debt can the IRS Fresh Start Program eliminate?

The amount varies based on your financial situation, but we regularly see reductions of 80-90% or more. The IRS will accept an Offer in Compromise for as little as your “reasonable collection potential” – essentially what they could realistically collect from you over time. If you owe $30,000 but can only afford $50 monthly payments, the IRS might accept $3,000 to settle the entire debt. We’ve negotiated settlements where clients paid less than 10% of their original tax liability. The key is presenting your case properly with complete financial documentation and understanding which program option maximizes your relief.

What happens if I don't qualify for the Fresh Start Program?

Even if you don’t qualify for certain Fresh Start options, we still have multiple strategies to protect you from IRS collection actions. We can negotiate affordable payment plans, request currently-not-collectible status, or pursue penalty abatement. Sometimes the best approach is buying time while your financial situation improves. We can stop levies and liens while working toward a better long-term solution. The IRS has collection limitations – they can’t pursue debt forever. Our job is finding the path that gives you the most relief and protection, whether that’s through Fresh Start programs or other tax resolution strategies.

How long does the IRS Fresh Start Program process take?

Simple installment agreements can be approved in 30-60 days. More complex cases like Offers in Compromise typically take 6-12 months for final approval, but we can often stop collection activities immediately while your case is pending. The timeline depends on your specific situation and which program option we pursue. Penalty abatement requests are usually resolved within 3-4 months. Currently-not-collectible status can be granted within 30-45 days if you meet the criteria. What matters most is starting the process quickly. Every day you wait, penalties and interest continue accumulating. We can stop that clock and begin protecting your assets within days of your initial consultation.

Will the IRS Fresh Start Program affect my credit score?

Tax liens damage your credit score significantly, but the Fresh Start Program includes provisions for lien withdrawal once you meet certain conditions. If you owe less than $25,000 and enter a payment agreement, the IRS will withdraw the lien. Offers in Compromise also result in lien release once accepted and paid. This removes the tax lien from your credit report and can improve your score by 50-100 points or more. The impact is immediate and substantial. Even installment agreements prevent new liens from being filed while you’re in compliance. The key is acting before liens are filed or getting existing liens withdrawn through proper program application.

Can I apply for the Fresh Start Program if I haven't filed recent tax returns?

You must be current on all required tax filings to qualify for most Fresh Start Program options. This is actually the first step we handle – getting your unfiled returns prepared and submitted to bring you into compliance. Once you’re current on filings, you become eligible for installment agreements, Offers in Compromise, and other relief options. We prepare all missing returns as part of our service, ensuring they’re done correctly to minimize additional tax liability. The IRS won’t negotiate seriously until you’ve filed all required returns. This requirement protects you too – it ensures we have complete information about your tax situation before pursuing relief options.

What does All County Tax Resolution charge for Fresh Start Program help?

Our fees depend on the complexity of your case and which services you need. Simple installment agreement setups cost less than complex Offers in Compromise that require extensive financial analysis and negotiation. We offer free initial consultations to assess your situation and explain all costs upfront. No hidden fees or surprise charges. We accept Mastercard and Visa with a 4% convenience fee, and many clients find our fees are less than the penalties and interest they’d pay trying to handle this alone. Most importantly, we don’t get paid unless we deliver results. If we can’t help you achieve meaningful tax relief, you shouldn’t pay for ineffective service.
