Tax Debt Relief: Get Rid Of Back Taxes
By Todd Whalen - May 6, 2021
Getting rid of back taxes can be a complex issue, and with the coronavirus pandemic, new changes in how the IRS handles certain taxes are complicating matters even further.
If you owe back taxes, it’s more important than ever to educate yourself on your options. Depending on your situation, Advanced Tax Solutions can help you with several effective strategies to choose from, such as:
Payment plan or installation agreement
Is your tax debt $50,000 or less? If so, you may be able to take advantage of an IRS monthly payment plan that allows over 120 days to pay your tax debt.
Offer in compromise
You may be able to reduce your tax debt through an “offer in compromise,” which is a way to settle your back taxes at a reduced amount. To receive the offer, you must prove to the IRS that paying your tax debt would create a financial hardship.
Penalty abatement
This option to resolve back taxes requires you to prove you could not pay your taxes on time due to circumstances beyond your control. If successful, the IRS will remove the late-payment penalties and reduce any related interest charges.
If you need help obtaining these tax relief solutions, contact our team at Advanced Tax Solutions in Denver. Taking care of tax issues for clients is what we do, and we would love to help you.
