What affects the price

Complexity is the main driver; resolving a simple filing error costs much less than negotiating an Offer in Compromise or setting up a long-term installment agreement for a large balance.

What are the requirements to qualify for IRS relief?
Qualifying for IRS relief in New Bedford generally depends on your ability to pay and the circumstances of your tax debt.

How does the IRS make a payment plan work?
An IRS payment plan, or installment agreement, allows you to pay off your tax debt over time. For New Bedford residents, this means making manageable monthly payments. The IRS sets the terms based on your financial capacity. Interest and penalties continue to accrue, but the agreement prevents further collection actions. A professional can help you negotiate the best possible terms for your installment agreement.
What is the IRS one-time forgiveness policy?
The IRS doesn't have a single 'one-time forgiveness' policy in the way some might imagine. However, programs like the Offer in Compromise allow for potential settlement of tax debt for less than what's owed, which can feel like forgiveness. This is based on your ability to pay. The Fresh Start initiative also offers forgiveness of penalties under certain circumstances. Professionals can assess your eligibility for these programs.
