What affects the price
When you look into tax debt relief, the total cost depends on a few specific variables. A specialist considers the total amount of money you owe to the IRS, how many years of back taxes are involved, and whether you are facing active collection actions like liens or levies. 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.
