Thousands Are Rushing to Check Their Eligibility For This IRS Tax Debt Relief Program

Are you feeling overwhelmed with tax debt? Are tax penalties and interest piling up month after month, making it impossible for you to get ahead? Thankfully, the IRS has a way out, and it doesn't involve emptying your bank account.

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.

Luckily, the 2024 Taxpayer Relief Initiative opened up the eligibility requirements, making tax forgiveness available to more Americans than ever before. Today, thousands are rushing to check their eligibility for the Fresh Start Program before upcoming tax deadlines.

When taxpayers fill out our Tax Relief Survey, they can see if they qualify for the IRS Fresh Start Program and begin their journey toward tax resolution in minutes.

In fact, over 2.7 million Americans have already enrolled in their tax resolution program. Thousands were able to settle their tax debt for less than they originally owed, saving years of payments to the IRS.

"Many Americans assume they don't qualify without ever checking," explained Los Angeles Tax Attorney Eric Brown. "In reality, a broad range of circumstances can make someone eligible for significant relief."

If you owe federal tax debt, the IRS will add 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 the debt.
