Methods for Tax Debt Relief
Since taxpaying is a responsibility of practically every adult, it’s not surprising to know that problems with back taxes are pretty common. If you’re having problems dealing with tax debts, you may find comfort in the fact that there are many who have experienced or currently experiencing the same issue.
The good news is, the government provides programs or methods you can utilize to reduce or relieve yourself of your tax debts. Our tax attorneys at Defense Tax Partners are well-versed in all these methods and can efficiently guide you in choosing the best way to eradicate your problem.
These are some of the methods available to gain tax debt relief:
“Currently Not Collectible” Status
Applying for currently not collectible (CNC) status is for people who genuinely have no way of paying back their tax debts. The IRS will first evaluate if you don’t have the means to pay your debts. Once proven, they will stop their collections but will still let the penalties and interest mount up throughout the duration of your CNC status. Also, the IRS will periodically evaluate your financial status to determine if you still qualify for the CNC status.
Filing for Bankruptcy
Through filing for bankruptcy, you can either clear your entire debt or pay only a percentage of its original amount. Chapter 7 can fully wipe out your tax debts, given that they meet the qualifications for dischargeable income taxes. However, if your tax debts don’t qualify as dischargeable, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will still help you stop the accrual of penalties and interest.
Innocent Spouse Relief
Most states, as well as the federal government, give way for injured or innocent spouse programs to help relieve taxpayers of their debts. This is for people who are not responsible for their spouse’s or ex-spouse’s tax debts. However, Newport doesn’t have this program. If you want tax relief through the innocent spouse principle, you should timely challenge the assessment. The other option would be through undergoing the Closing Agreement Request process.
Installment Plans
Setting up a payment plan or installment agreement is one of the three main tax relief options in Newport, alongside the Closing Agreement and Penalty Abatement. Installment agreements allow taxpayers to make a series of monthly payments until they fully pay their tax debts. Our attorneys can represent you during the negotiation with the Division and acquire a manageable payment plan for you.
“Offer in Compromise” Program
Unlike the federal government, the state of Newport doesn’t have an “offer in compromise” (OIC) program. What they do have, however, is the Closing Agreement program which has the same general idea as with OIC. Through this, you can request that the state accept your payment which is lesser than your entire tax debt—penalties and interests included.
After their evaluation, the Division may respond with acceptance, rejection, or counter-offer. You can receive their notification within 3-6 months after filing the closing agreement request.
Penalty Abatement
As one of the three main options in achieving tax relief in Newport, a request for penalty abatement allows you to ask the Division to waive all or part of your tax penalties. You can file this request through a written petition, IRS Form 843, or verbally (in person or over the phone).
To qualify for penalty abatement, you should have a good, legitimate reason why you haven’t filed or paid your taxes on time. Our Newport tax debt attorneys can help present a narrative that will give you the most favorable outcome possible.
