Questions
Tax Resolution FAQ.
Can the IRS settle tax debt for less than I owe?
Sometimes, through an Offer in Compromise. The IRS evaluates income, necessary expenses and asset equity, and the program is not available to everyone. All required returns must be filed first.
I owe less than $50,000. Do I need representation?
Not always. Many compliant individuals within the streamlined threshold can request an installment agreement directly. We will say so when paid representation would not add value.
Can you stop a wage garnishment or bank levy?
Often, but speed matters. Release usually depends on entering an approved resolution or demonstrating hardship.
How long can the IRS collect?
The general federal collection period is ten years from assessment. Certain proceedings pause the clock, so the transcript is needed to determine the actual date.
Is this page advice for my case?
No. This page provides general information, not tax or legal advice for a specific situation. Outcomes depend on individual facts and IRS determination.
