Options for Settling IRS Tax Debt to IRS, we know every possible settlement option.
There are three basic ways that taxpayers settle their current tax situation for back taxes with the Internal Revenue Service.
There are different ways to settle IRS tax debt and there are generally three programs that the taxpayer can qualify for.
The first is a hardship or currently non-collectible program.
There is good news and bad news about this program. After IRS takes a current documented financial statement, IRS may determine you are not collectible at the current time. IRS will suspend your case for a period of 1 to 3 years and put a freeze on it.
The good news is IRS’s off your back for a couple of years and the bad news is penalties and interest still run on it.
Taxpayer should also be aware that the case will come out every couple of years to be reviewed.
The second program is the installment agreement or monthly payment.
After IRS takes a current financial statement they will determine how much money they expect from you on a monthly basis. IRS has certain national standards test that they use to determine if the taxpayer will be placed into a payment agreement.
You can find the national standards on our site.
The third way to sell your debt is to qualify for an offer in compromise, this is where you can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar. it’s important for taxpayers to understand that not all are eligible for the offer in compromise program. There is a pre-qualifier tool.
I suggest everyone who wants to go the route was the direction of the offer make sure they are truly qualified before wasting time and money.

Copy or Transcript of Your Tax Return – How to Get One Copy of Your Tax Return There are different ways to obtain tax return information.
Most requests can be satisfied with a computer printout of your return information called a transcript.
However, sometimes you need an exact copy of a previously filed and processed tax return with all attachments (including Form W-2).
Copies are generally available for returns filed for the current and past six years. On jointly filed tax returns, either spouse may request a copy and only the signature from the requesting spouse is required on the Form 4506.pdf, Request for Copy of Tax Return.
You should complete Form 4506 and mail it to the address listed in the instructions, along with a $50 fee for each tax return requested.
• Make your check or money order payable to the United States Treasury
• Enter your SSN, ITIN, or EIN and “Form 4506 request” on your check or money order
• Allow 75 calendar days for us to process your request
If you’re a taxpayer impacted by a federally declared disaster, the IRS waives the usual fees and expedites requests for copies of tax returns for people who need them to apply for benefits or to file amended returns claiming disaster-related losses.
See Federally Declared Disaster Area in Publication 2194.pdf, Disaster Resource Guide for Individuals and Businesses. For additional information about tax relief in disaster situations, refer to Topic No. 107 or call the IRS Disaster Assistance Hotline at 866-562-5227.
To request a copy of a fraudulent return, when someone else used your name and social security number as a primary or secondary filer to file it, use Form 4506-F.pdf, Request for Copy of Fraudulent Tax Return.

The IRS Collection Process, if you need help call experienced former IRS agents
If you don’t pay your tax in full when you file your tax return, you’ll receive a bill for the amount you owe.
This bill starts the collection process, which continues until your account is satisfied or until the IRS may no longer legally collect the tax; for example, when the time or period for collection expires.
The first notice you receive will be a letter that explains the balance due and demands payment in full. It will include the amount of the tax, plus any penalties and interest accrued on your unpaid balance from the date the tax was due.
The unpaid balance is subject to interest that compounds daily and a monthly late payment penalty. It’s in your best interest to pay your tax liability in full as soon as you can to minimize the penalty and interest charges.
You may want to investigate and consider other methods of financing full payment of your taxes, such as obtaining a cash advance on your credit card or getting a bank loan. The rate and any applicable fees your credit card company or bank charges may be lower than the combination of interest and penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
In some cases, you can establish an installment agreement by using the Online Payment Agreement Application (OPA) or you may complete Form 9465.pdf, Installment Agreement Request and mail it in with your bill.
You may also request an installment agreement over the phone by calling the phone number listed on your balance due notice. There’s a user fee to set up a monthly installment agreement. Call us for details
For low-income taxpayers, the user fee is reduced and possibly waived or reimbursed if certain conditions apply.
Direct debit installment agreements offer a lower user fee than other installment agreements and help you to avoid defaulting on your agreement by allowing timely payments automatically.
The user fee is waived for low-income taxpayers that agree to make electronic payments through a debit instrument by entering into a direct debit installment agreement. To enter into a direct debit installment agreement and have the payment directly debited from your bank account, complete lines 13a. and 13b of Form 9465. Interest and late payment penalties will continue to accrue while you make installment payments.
If you can’t pay in full, you should send in as much as you can with the notice and explore other payment arrangements. For tax payment options and for additional information on installment payments.
If you can’t full pay under an installment agreement, you may propose a partial payment installment agreement or an offer in compromise (OIC). An OIC is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that resolves a taxpayer’s tax liability by payment of an agreed upon reduced amount.
Before an offer can be considered, you must have filed all tax returns, made all required estimated tax payments for the current year, and made all required federal tax deposits for the current quarter if the taxpayer is a business owner with employees.
Taxpayers in an open bankruptcy proceeding aren’t eligible. To confirm eligibility, you may use the Offer in Compromise Pre-Qualifier tool. For additional information on OICs, refer to Topic No. 204.
If you need more time to pay, you may ask that we delay collection and report your account as currently not collectible.
If the IRS determines that you can’t pay any of your tax debt due to a financial hardship, the IRS may temporarily delay collection by reporting your account as currently not collectible until your financial condition improves. Being currently not collectible doesn’t mean the debt goes away.
It means the IRS has determined you can’t afford to pay the debt at this time. Prior to approving your request to delay collection, we may ask you to complete a Collection Information Statement (Form 433-F.pdf, Form 433-A.pdf, or Form 433-B.pdf) and provide proof of your financial status (this may include information about your assets and your monthly income and expenses).
If we do delay collecting from you, your debt continues to accrue penalties and interest until the debt is paid in full.
The IRS may temporarily suspend certain collection actions, such as issuing a levy (explained below), until your financial condition improves.
However, we may still file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (explained below) while your account is suspended. Please call the phone number listed on your bill to discuss this option. For additional information on currently not collectible, refer to Topic No. 202.
If you’re a member of the Armed Forces, you may be able to defer payment. See Publication 3, Armed Forces’ Tax Guide.
It’s important to contact us and make arrangements to pay the tax due voluntarily. If you don’t contact us, we may take action to collect the taxes.
For example:
1. Filing a Notice of Federal Tax Lien
2. Serving a Notice of Levy, or
3. Offsetting a refund to which you’re entitled
A federal tax lien is a legal claim to your property, including property that you acquire after the lien arises. The federal tax lien arises automatically when you fail to pay in full the taxes that have been assessed against you within ten days after the IRS sends the first notice of taxes owed and demand for payment.
The IRS may also file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien in the public records, which publicly notifies your creditors that the IRS has a claim against all your property, including property acquired by you after the filing of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien. The filing of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien may appear on your credit report and may harm your credit rating. Once a lien arises, the IRS generally can’t release the lien until the tax, penalty, interest, and recording fees are paid in full or until the IRS may no longer legally collect the tax.
The IRS will withdraw a Notice of Federal Tax Lien if the notice was filed while a bankruptcy automatic stay was in effect. The IRS may withdraw a Notice of Federal Tax
Lien if the IRS determines:
1. The Notice was not filed according to IRS procedures;
2. You enter into an installment agreement to satisfy the liability unless the installment agreement provides otherwise;
3. Withdrawal will allow you to pay your taxes more quickly; or
4. Withdrawal is in your best interest, as determined by the National Taxpayer Advocate, and in the best interest of the government.
The IRS may levy (seize) assets such as wages, bank accounts, social security benefits, and retirement income. The IRS also may seize your property (including your car, boat, or real estate) and sell the property to satisfy the tax debt. In addition, any future federal tax refunds or state income tax refunds that you’re due may be seized and applied to your federal tax liability. See Topic No. 203 for refund offsets.
You may call the IRS at 800-829-1040 (see Telephone and Local Assistance for hours of operation) to discuss any IRS bill. Please have the bill and your records with you when you call.
You have rights and protections throughout the collection process. For more information, refer to Taxpayer Bill of Rights, Publication 1.pdf, Your Rights as a Taxpayer, Publication 594.pdf, The IRS Collection Process, and Publication 1660.pdf, Collection Appeal Rights.

Got a levy or garnishment?
There is a very methodical way to get your IRS levy released.
IRS will require a basic financial statement along with documentation and after review decide whether to put you into a currently not collectible, payment agreement or may encourage you to file an offer in compromise.
After a review your financial statement we will be able to set up a course of strategy and get your levy released immediately.
As a general rule, within 24 hours of receiving your current financial statement, we can get your bank levy released by the Internal Revenue Service.
Information you need to know about the IRS bank levy.
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
IRS Tax Levies are different from IRS Tax Liens.
A lien is a legal claim against property to secure payment of the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
Where does Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authority to levy originate?
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes levies to collect delinquent tax. See IRC 6331. Any property or right to property that belongs to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien can be levied, unless the IRC exempts the property from levy.
What actions must the Internal Revenue Service take before a levy can be issued?
There are requirements IRS must meet.
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
• The IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
The IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If you have moved and not let the Internal Revenue Service know, many tax payers find themselves between a rock and a hard place because IRS sends the last final notice to the last filed address on the tax return.
Please note:
if the IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
When will the IRS issue a levy?
If you do not pay your taxes (or make arrangements to settle your debt), and the IRS determines that a levy is the next appropriate action, the IRS may levy any property or right to property you own or have an interest in.
For instance, the IRS could levy property that is yours, but is held by someone else (such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions). Or, the IRS could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat or house).
What if a levy on my wages, bank, or other account is causing a hardship?
If the levy on your wages is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy must be released. If the levy on your bank account or other account is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy may be released.
An economic hardship occurs when we have determined the levy prevents you from meeting basic, reasonable living expenses. In order for the IRS to determine if a levy is causing hardship, the IRS will usually need you to provide financial information so be prepared to provide it when you call.
A levy release does not mean you are exempt from paying the balance.
The IRS will work with you to establish a payment plan or take other steps to help you pay off the balance. To help ensure quick action, please have the fax number available for the employer, bank or other financial institution that is processing the levy.
When the levy is on a bank account, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides a 21-day waiting period for complying with the levy.
The waiting period is intended to allow you time to contact the IRS and arrange to pay the tax or notify the IRS of errors in the levy.
Generally, IRS levies are delivered via the mail. The date and time of delivery of the levy is the time when the levy is considered to have been made.
In the case of a bank levy, funds in the account are frozen as of the date and time the levy is received. Normally, the levy does not affect funds you add to your bank account after the date of the levy.
IRS Wage Levies may Follow 688-W
If the IRS levies (seizes) your wages, part of your wages will be sent to the IRS each pay period until:
• You make other arrangements to pay your overdue taxes,
• The amount of overdue taxes you owe is paid, or
• The levy is released.
Part of your wages may be exempt from the levy and the exempt amount will be paid to you. The exempt amount is based on the standard deduction and an “amount determined” calculated in part based on the number of dependents you are allowed for the year the levy is served.
The IRS mails Publication 1494 (PDF) with the levy which explains to your employer how to determine the amount exempt from levy.
Your employer will provide you with a Statement of Dependents and Filing Status to complete and return within three days.
If you do not return the statement in three days, your exempt amount is figured as if you are married filing separately with no dependents (zero). If you have other income sources, the IRS may allocate the exemptions to the other income source and levy on 100% of the income from a particular employer.
Levies are different from liens.
A lien is a legal claim against your property to secure payment of your tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
A federal tax lien comes into being when the IRS accesses a tax against you and sends you a bill that you neglect or refuse to pay it. The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
You have the right to appeal if the IRS advises you of the intent to file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. Your appeal rights are explained in IRS Publication 1660, Collection Appeal Rights (PDF).
When filed, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien is a public document that alerts other creditors that the IRS is asserting a secured claim against your assets.
Credit reporting agencies may find the Notice of Federal Tax Lien and include it in your credit report. An IRS levy is not a public record.
