FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really settle my IRS debt for less than I owe?

In some cases, yes — through an Offer in Compromise. The IRS doesn't settle because paying in full feels hard; it settles when the amount you offer is at least what it could realistically collect from you over time (your "reasonable collection potential").

We run that calculation, check whether you qualify, and handle the entire application. Be honest with yourself going in: the IRS accepts only about a third of the offers it receives, so we won't file one unless the numbers actually work.

How many years of back taxes do I have to file?

Usually the last six years. IRS Policy Statement 5-133 says the IRS will "normally" require the past six years of returns to be considered compliant.

But it's not a guarantee — a revenue officer can ask for more depending on your case, so we confirm your specific requirement before we promise a number.

How can I stop penalties and interest from growing?

The IRS adds penalties and interest every month you’re behind, but they also have programs to reduce or remove them. Through penalty abatement: first-time relief, reasonable cause, or an account correction, we work to cut down these extra charges and keep your balance from snowballing.

What if I can’t afford to pay anything right now?

If you can’t make payments, you may qualify for Currently Not Collectible status, which temporarily stops IRS collections, or for a payment plan that fits your budget. We help you explore every option so you’re not left unprotected.
