Alleviate Tax can often get these penalties and accompanying interest removed through the process called penalty abatement.

Alleviate Tax uses Master File Transcripts to ascertain your standing then and now. Since you didn’t file, the IRS files a ‘Substitute Return’ not having taken into account such things like exemptions or status. We will be able to find out your Adjusted Gross Income, Taxable Income, Tax, Number of Exemptions and/or Filing Status. What Alleviate Tax can now do is re-file your return and achieve a better result based on your situation.

Most people cannot pay their entire tax obligation in full – life circumstances just don’t let it happen. Moreover, the IRS can be very frustrating to get a hold of on the phone. Many taxpayers can spend 45 minutes or longer just on hold to speak with someone.

Our tax professionals can negotiate a reasonable and agreeable payment plan, based on your circumstances, that will allow you to pay off your tax debt slowly. In many cases, Alleviate Tax can even get much of the interest and penalties removed.

If you’re receiving letters from the IRS that sound more and more threatening, you may be feeling like a tax attorney is necessary to resolve your tax debt. Some tax attorney advertisements can make it sound like an attorney is the only option for taxpayers facing IRS tax debts. While sometimes a tax attorney is necessary, the vast majority of people with tax debts who receive threatening letters from the IRS don’t need to go to the extra expense of hiring an attorney––there are other options for getting help.

As a consequence of life situations, many taxpayers are often burdened with a tax obligation that actually belongs to a spouse or a former spouse. Not to worry – if this is the case, the professionals at Alleviate Tax can have the entire obligation, including penalties and interest removed completely.

There are many situations where life doesn’t make it easy to pay your tax debts. If you are struggling, and barely making ends meet, Alleviate Tax can help. If your wages only cover your necessary living expenses, and you have no assets worth getting levied, we may be able to put you in a status called, “currently not collectible.” This is not a resolution as much as it is a change in your status. Penalties and interest will continue to accrue, so it is important to stay on top of this. If you are “currently not collectible” for some or all of the 10-year statute of limitations, and this time expires while you are still “currently not collectible,” the tax obligation will become permanently not collectible.
