WASHINGTON – Thousands of Americans are rushing to resolve their tax debts after the IRS announced a significant expansion of tax relief programs.

Armed with $80 billion in new funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is offering tax penalty relief to millions of Americans and approving applications for the Fresh Start Program at record rates.

In as little as 15 minutes, taxpayers who did not receive reminder notices during the pandemic may qualify to have their tax penalties erased.

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 its establishment in 2011, the Fresh Start Program has helped millions of Americans reduce or even completely erase their tax debts.

Thanks to the program expansion, the IRS now has more flexibility when analyzing a taxpayer’s ability to pay back taxes, making the Fresh Start Program available to more Americans than ever before. If you have been denied access to the program in the past, you may still qualify for relief today.

While a record number of Americans are applying for tax relief, thousands more do not realize they qualify.

“Many people assume they don’t qualify without ever checking,” said tax attorney Laura Finch. “The truth is, there’s a broad range of circumstances that can make someone eligible for significant relief. It’s crucial to explore your options before it’s too late.”

However, taxpayers are advised to take advantage of the expanded programs as soon as possible. The IRS paused collection efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic but returned to full-scale enforcement in 2024, already garnishing and seizing over $1.3 billion this year alone.

If you received an IRS notice or have overdue taxes and can’t afford to pay them in full, qualifying for tax relief before the IRS escalates your case is critical.
