The tax deadline has come and gone — and if you missed it, you now officially owe the IRS.

But don’t panic. According to former IRS professionals, one powerful relief program is still active — and it could help reduce or even eliminate what you owe.

Thanks to a recent expansion of the IRS Fresh Start Program, taxpayers now have faster access to three key IRS payment relief options — and former IRS agents are helping everyday Americans navigate them with insider knowledge that can make all the difference.

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.

The IRS now has more flexibility when analyzing a taxpayer’s ability to pay back taxes. This makes the IRS Fresh Start Program available to a larger group of taxpayers. If you have been denied access to the program in the past, you may still qualify for relief today.

Thanks to a recent expansion of the Fresh Start Program, access to Installment Agreements and Offers in Compromise is now streamlined. An Offer in Compromise (OIC), allows taxpayers to settle their debt for less than the full amount.
