This IRS program can help reduce, resolve, or eliminate thousands in tax debt — if you qualify.
If you still owe the IRS thousands of dollars, you might feel like there’s no way out — but there is. The IRS Fresh Start Program is a real relief option that can help reduce, resolve, or even eliminate your tax debt.
It was created for people who are struggling to keep up with payments or facing harsh collection actions. With the right plan, you may be able to settle for less, stop garnishments, and finally move forward.
How the Fresh Start Program Helps With Tax Relief
The program provides four core paths for taxpayers managing IRS debt:
- Offer in Compromise — settle your total debt for less than what you owe
- Installment Agreement — break the balance into affordable monthly payments
- Penalty Abatement — eliminate fees that have inflated your balance
- Collection Hold — stop aggressive IRS actions like wage garnishments and bank levies
See what relief you may qualify for in under 60 seconds.
Answer a few quick questions and a licensed tax specialist will walk you through your options.
Check Your Eligibility →Who Qualifies?
If your tax debt is over $10,000 and you’re behind on payments — or already dealing with IRS notices, garnishments, or liens — you may qualify. The Fresh Start Program is designed for everyday Americans, not businesses or high-net-worth filers.
Eligibility comes down to a handful of things: how much you owe, your income, your filing status, and whether your returns are current. A specialist can run the numbers in a few minutes.
