IRS Tax
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an
Offer in Compromise?
A: It is a tax relief is a program wherein the IRS
will settle a tax debt, whether personal or business for less than the amount
owed if a Taxpayer qualifies.
Q: Why would
the IRS want to settle a tax debt?
A: The IRS understands there are situations in
which they will not be able to collect the entire amount of tax a citizen owes
no matter what they do or how hard they try. By agreeing to settle a tax debt,
the IRS brings the Taxpayer back into the system. The Taxpayer is required to
stay in compliance and pay their taxes on time after tax relief is granted. It's
a win-win situation for the Taxpayer and the IRS.
Q: How do I
know if I qualify for tax relief?
A: Our tax counselors can quickly determine
if you qualify for tax relief. Even if we determine that you do not qualify for
an Offer in Compromise, you may still qualify other types of tax relief like
Penalty Abatement, Innocent Spouse or Trust Fund Recovery. We can also arrange a
manageable installment agreement with the IRS for you.
Q: I have a
bank levy or garnishment on my wages. What can you do about that?
A: We can remove the levy in most cases on the same
day you call us, if you qualify. We can also place a collection hold on your tax
account to give us time to work out a tax relief solution for you.

keeps sending me letters and calling me. I don't know what to do or what to say

Q: What about
these commercials I see that promise to settle my case for pennies on the
dollar?
A: When most people hear the phrase pennies on the
dollar, they think 2 or 3 pennies on the dollar. You will notice that the
advertiser does not mention how many pennies on the dollar they can settle your
case for. Some citizens indeed qualify to settle their cases for 2 or 3 cents on
the dollar. The IRS average settlement is for 12 cents on the dollar. Depending
on your circumstances, you may qualify to settle for more or less.
