If you owe the IRS or can't pay your tax debt completely, then the Fresh Start tax initiative might be a good option.
Although not all people will be eligible for these options, the IRS will work with each individual to determine which relief option is best for you. The Fresh Start program benefits both taxpayers and the IRS.
If you aren’t eligible or turned down by the deal in compromise, look into debt consolidation and settlement options. These solutions can often save you money on other debts to make it easier to pay down IRS taxes.
In a nutshell, yes! The Fresh Start initiative is beneficial for both the IRS and you as a taxpayer. The IRS wins because they’ll receive some form of payment rather than simply getting ghosted by the taxpayer. The taxpayer wins because they’ll get back in good standing with the IRS, which means they won’t get hit with levies, liens, wage garnishments, criminal penalties, fines, and more.
