IRS Tax Settlements can be broken into 3 categories. IRS will either place your case in:
- Hardship ,
- Payment Plan or Installment Agreement,
- Offer in Compromise.
Before the IRS will place you into a closed file for tax resolution, IRS will require a IRS financial statement. You will need to complete a form 433A or a 433F and have that form completely documented with bills, receipts, bank statements etc.
Another important aspect of the tax settlement is to understand the Nation Standards Program. The amounts of the national standards allowed for each area are listed on our website.
