Methods for Tax Debt Relief

Your tax liabilities are not something you can run away from. The state of Woodstock and the federal government are relentless in collecting what they think you owe them. However, genuine financial hardships are things they will also consider. This is why several tax debt relief options are made available for taxpayers who are having difficulty in satisfying their liabilities.

Defense Tax Partners can assign you to one of our expert Woodstock tax debt attorneys who will help identify which option best suits your case. We will also take charge of preparing all the necessary documents for your relief application.

Some of the most popular methods for tax debt relief include:

“Currently Not Collectible” Status

The currently not collectible (CNC) status is a payment deferral program offered by the IRS. If the agency or the state of Woodstock awards you the CNC status, you are temporarily free from all collection methods. The CNC status is typically effective up to 2 years, although the IRS will regularly assess if your income still qualifies for the program. It is also important to note that although the collections are stopped, your tax debts are not erased and will continue to accrue penalties and interests.

Filing for Bankruptcy

This debt relief method is commonly used by people overwhelmed by almost all kinds of debts. With Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your tax debts are subject to assessment if they are dischargeable. If you are fortunate enough, you can have all or most of them eliminated. However, if your tax debts are not dischargeable, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be a better fit. It will stop the accrual of your penalties and interests and allow you to pay your debts through installments.

Innocent Spouse Relief

If you filed a joint return with your spouse or ex-spouse, you could request an innocent spouse relief if the discrepancy in the tax return cannot be attributed to you. You can qualify for this relief option if you can prove the following:

1. You were not aware or could not have been aware of the error at the time of the filing.
2. It would be unfair to hold you responsible for the resulting debt, penalties, and interests.
3. You and your spouse or former spouse did not transfer any property to one another as an act of fraud against the government or another party.

If you don’t qualify for innocent spouse relief, there are still two options for joint filers: (1) separation of liability relief and (2) equitable relief. Our tax attorney will be glad to discuss these options with you and assess if you are eligible.

Installment Plans

We can also help you establish an installment agreement with the IRS. This will effectively allow you to pay your tax debts over an extended period through manageable monthly installments. We can handle all the needed preparation and provide you with legal representation during the negotiation. Rest assured, we will try our best to give you the best installment terms possible.

“Offer in Compromise” Program

Both the IRS and the state of Woodstock offer this program. An offer in compromise (OIC) is a tax debt relief option that gives you the chance to settle your debt with a payment less than what you originally owe. The OIC program offered by the IRS and Woodstock is similar except for a few procedural differences. Talk to our expert Woodstock tax debt attorney and know if you qualify.

Penalty Abatement

The Comptroller of Woodstock can charge up to 25% of penalties to your tax debt every year. This will make paying your debt in full extremely harder. Fortunately, qualifying for penalty abatement means that all or part of the accrued penalties will be waived. Although you will still have to pay the outstanding principal debt, eliminating the penalties will help speed up the payment process. Our attorneys can help you establish proof of financial hardship and prepare the documents necessary to qualify for this relief method.

Tax Debt Relief Options

Identifying which debt relief option suits you might be more stressful than you first thought.
