An independent editorial resource for taxpayers navigating IRS debt. Reviewed by licensed CPAs, connected to a vetted network of A+ BBB-rated tax relief firms.
Fresh Start Initiative exists because the IRS is the largest collection agency in America — and the one most taxpayers understand the least. We publish plain-English guides to every major IRS program and notice. Our articles are written or reviewed by licensed tax professionals: CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and tax attorneys authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
When you’re ready to talk to a professional, we match you — at no cost — with a licensed, A+ BBB-rated tax relief firm from our vetted network. We only work with firms that employ CPAs, EAs, or tax attorneys, maintain A+ ratings with the Better Business Bureau, and have proven case outcomes. You’ll work directly with the firm’s team, not with us.
We are not a tax preparation firm. We do not provide tax advice or representation. We are not affiliated with the IRS or any government agency. Individual results vary based on the specifics of your tax situation.
