WASHINGTON – In the weeks leading up to the April 15 tax deadline, a record number of Americans rushed to apply for tax forgiveness, hoping to reduce or even completely erase their tax debts.
If you missed the deadline, the IRS is now assessing penalties of 5.5% of the unpaid taxes each month – plus interest charges that accrue daily. However, there is still an open door to resolve your tax debt.
When taxpayers fill out our Tax Relief Survey, they are able to see if they qualify for the IRS Fresh Start Program and begin their journey toward tax resolution in minutes.
Since 2011, the Fresh Start Program has provided real relief to taxpayers who owe thousands in tax debt. In some cases, the IRS has forgiven 100% of back taxes owed, but Americans struggled to take full advantage of the program due to complicated tax laws.
In truth, fighting the IRS is a full-time job, so Americans are turning to reputable tax relief firms to ensure that they apply for tax relief correctly and maximize their chances of approval.
"Many Americans assume they don't qualify without ever checking," explained George Miller, a Virginia-based CPA. "In reality, a broad range of circumstances can make someone eligible for significant relief."

Tax debt affects thousands of Americans; however, few were able to obtain relief due to stringent rules around who could qualify. It’s not that the programs were unavailable, but that the IRS rejected more Fresh Start applications than they approved.
Luckily, the 2024 Taxpayer Relief Initiative opened up the eligibility requirements, making the Fresh Start Program available to more Americans than ever before.
The IRS now has more flexibility when analyzing taxpayers' ability to pay back taxes and continue to afford living expenses. If you have been denied access to tax relief in the past, you may now qualify today.
