Stop wage garnishments, eliminate penalties, and reduce your tax debt by up to 90% through the IRS Fresh Start Program.
You’re drowning in tax debt, and every day it gets worse. Penalties pile up. Interest compounds. The IRS sends more threatening letters.
But here’s what most people don’t know: An offer in compromise lets you settle your tax debt for less than you owe. This used to be called the Fresh Start program. Taxpayers who apply and are considered eligible can significantly reduce their federal tax debt; in some circumstances, they may be able to reduce 90% or more of what they owe.
The IRS Fresh Start Program isn’t just marketing hype. Yes, the IRS Fresh Start Program is an official initiative created by the Internal Revenue Service to help taxpayers manage their tax debt. It has been widely used to provide financial relief and is a trusted resource for eligible taxpayers. Now, individual taxpayers who owe up to $50,000 COULD QUALIFY to pay through monthly direct debit payments for up to 72 months (six years).
We at All County Tax Resolution have been helping Oakland, Pennsylvania taxpayers resolve their most complex tax problems. Based in Lake Ariel, PA, our team of experienced tax professionals understands the unique challenges facing Pennsylvania residents.
Pennsylvania taxpayers face a double burden. State taxing authorities also differ from the IRS in that they are usually faster to collect on back taxes, and even more aggressive in their collection efforts, making levies, garnishments, and seizures commonplace. Unlike the IRS, each state is limited to a finite annual budget that relies 100% on tax revenue. If they don’t collect the taxes, they literally can’t pave roads or pay for schools.
That’s why you need professionals who know both federal and state tax resolution strategies. We provide free initial consultations to thoroughly assess each client’s situation, then create personalized solutions that actually work.
First, we stop the bleeding. When you call us, we immediately contact the IRS to halt collection activities. No more sleepless nights wondering if your paycheck will be garnished or your bank account frozen.
Next, we evaluate your eligibility for the Fresh Start Program. One of the fundamental prerequisites is compliance with all tax filings. All your tax returns should be duly filed, reflecting your commitment to fulfill your tax obligations. We help you get current on any missing returns and gather the financial documentation needed.
Then we negotiate. In order to qualify, taxpayers do still have to show proof of significant financial hardship. We prepare and submit your case using our deep knowledge of IRS procedures and acceptance criteria. Whether it’s an Offer in Compromise, installment agreement, or penalty abatement, we fight for the lowest possible settlement.
Ready to get started?
The Fresh Start Program includes several relief options, and we determine which combination works best for your situation. The program offers various options, such as installment agreements, Offers in Compromise (OIC), penalty abatements, and tax lien withdrawals. Depending on your financial situation, you can choose the option that best suits your needs to reduce or manage your tax debt.
Oakland residents often qualify for streamlined installment agreements if they owe less than $50,000. For those facing severe financial hardship, an Offer in Compromise might reduce their debt by 90% or more. We also pursue penalty abatement for first-time offenders or those who can demonstrate reasonable cause.
One of the significant changes brought about by the Fresh Start program is the increase in the IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien filing threshold from $5,000 to $10,000. This change means taxpayers with a tax debt of less than $10,000 are less likely to have a lien filed against them, providing some relief from the financial implications of a tax lien. We also help remove existing liens once payment arrangements are established.
