Tax Settlement:
Resolve Your IRS Tax Debt

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an agreement between you and the IRS that settles your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. The IRS accepts OICs when the amount offered represents the most they can expect to collect from you given your financial situation. Our team helps you prepare a strong application that maximizes your chance of acceptance.

The timeline varies depending on the type of resolution and the complexity of your case. Installment agreements can be set up in 30-60 days. Offer in Compromise applications typically take 6-12 months from submission to resolution. Lien removal can take anywhere from 3 months to over a year. We work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your savings.

The initial consultation has no impact on your credit. Once we begin working together, we may contact the IRS on your behalf, which typically doesn't affect your credit score. Our goal is to improve your financial situation, including your credit standing, by resolving your tax debt. Successful tax resolution often leads to credit score improvements over time.

Yes! While the IRS handles federal taxes, we also work with state tax agencies across all 50 states. State tax issues can be just as burdensome as federal issues, and we have relationships with state tax departments nationwide. We can help you resolve state tax debt, negotiate settlements, and set up payment plans with state agencies.

If you truly cannot afford to pay your tax debt, you may qualify for Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. This status temporarily pauses IRS collection efforts because you lack sufficient income to make payments. We can help you apply for CNC status and explore other options like Offer in Compromise based on your current financial reality.

Innocent Spouse Relief is available if you filed a joint return and your spouse (or former spouse) is solely responsible for the tax debt, penalties, and interest. You may qualify if you didn't know about and didn't have reason to know about the understated tax. There are also other forms of relief for spouses in difficult situations. We help you determine if you qualify and guide you through the application process.
