Check out these tax resolution strategies that can help you resolve your back taxes:

If you owe less than $10,000 in back taxes: If you have a clean IRS record and all your tax returns are filed - you can call the IRS directly and they can (it's guaranteed) arrange a payment plan to be paid in 36 monthly installments. 

If you owe $20,000 or more in back taxes: You will want to partner with an experienced Tax Resolution Consultant, like ourselves,or a tax attorney to increase your chances of qualifying for an IRS payment plan, helping you settle your back tax debt for the lowest possible amount, and removing bank levies, tax liens or wage garnishments.

Offer in Compromise

If you can't afford to pay your back taxes in full, the Offer in Compromise program provides taxpayers who owe the IRS more than they could ever afford to pay, the opportunity to pay a small amount as a full and final payment. Taxpayers who attempt to file for an Offer in Compromise on their own often put themselves at risk of not qualifying for a settlement or they end up paying more than they have to.

IRS Payment Plans

If you can't pay your back taxes in full but could potentially pay them back over time, you can negotiate a reasonable monthly payment plan with the IRS. Once an IRS Payment Plan (also known as an Installment Agreement) is established, the IRS will not enforce collection action, including the levy of bank accounts or wages, as long as the taxpayer remains current with all filing and payment obligations.

Delinquent Tax Returns

To qualify for an IRS payment plan or Offer in Compromise tax settlement to resolve your back taxes, you need to file all delinquent tax returns with the IRS. Regardless of what you have heard, you have the right to file your original tax return, no matter how late it's filed. Until you have filed all legally required tax returns, the IRS will not entertain any type of tax settlement or payment plan to settle your back taxes.

Expiration of Back Taxes: Statute of Limitations on IRS Collections

This can be one of the most effective ways to eliminate back taxes, especially if they have been assessed against you years ago. The IRS is prohibited, by law, from collecting on expired back taxes. Generally, the IRS has 10 years from the date of assessment (usually close to the filing date or audit assessment date) to collect back taxes. An expert tax attorney, CPA or Tax Resolution Consultant can help resolve your back taxes and other IRS problems by performing a Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) analysis. We can determine on what day you will be free of this obligation. We accomplish this by obtaining and analyzing your IRS Tax Transcripts and Records of Account. If the expiration date is nearing, many times it is advantageous to the consumer to just "do nothing". However, you need an expert to guide you through this process due to the many exceptions and obstacles that can get in the way.

IRS Bankruptcy Filing for Discharging Back Taxes and IRS Debt

As a last resort for resolving back taxes, you can file for bankruptcy if the IRS rejects your IRS Payment Plan or Offer in Compromise. However, only a seasoned tax attorney, CPA or Tax Resolution Consultant can provide tax help to show you the proper sequence of events to declare bankruptcy and completely eliminate all of your back taxes, if you are eligible.

Offshore Bank Accounts: IRS Tax Settlements

If you owe back taxes on undeclared funds in overseas bank accounts, being proactive about disclosing your foreign funds can help reduce your chances of criminal prosecution, minimize severe IRS penalties and work out a structured IRS payment plan. If you believe that you owe back taxes on your foreign accounts, you will need a tax attorney or Tax Resolution Consultant to provide professional tax help and experienced representation to proceed in your best interest.

Innocent Spouse Tax Relief

If you owe back taxes due to your spouse's (or ex-spouses) actions, you may be eligible to obtain tax relief by qualifying as an innocent spouse. This means that if you can prove you are an innocent spouse, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, the IRS can relieve you of this debt and obtain tax relief, you may not be subject to the taxes caused by their spouses or ex-spouses.

Investment Fraud Representation

If you owe back taxes paid on phantom profits from a fraudulent investment scheme ("Ponzi" Scheme), you may be eligible to take advantage the United States Tax Code (law) to recoup 30% to 40% of your losses. This highly technical and complex process can help you reduce taxes paid in previous years resulting in refund with interest.
