Back taxes refer to taxes that were not paid in the year they were due. They can accumulate penalties and interest if left unpaid, increasing the amount owed to tax authorities.
An Offer in Compromise is a settlement option that allows taxpayers to resolve their tax debt for less than the full amount owed, based on the taxpayer’s ability to pay and other financial factors.
Penalty abatement is a waiver or reduction of tax penalties that may be available if the taxpayer meets certain criteria such as reasonable cause or first-time compliance relief.
An installment agreement is a payment plan arranged with tax authorities, allowing taxpayers to pay their tax debt over time in manageable monthly amounts.
Various options are available to address tax issues, ranging from limited approaches like simple payment plans to more comprehensive settlements and negotiations. Each option offers different advantages depending on the taxpayer’s financial circumstances and goals.
If the total tax debt is relatively low and the taxpayer can afford regular payments, establishing an installment agreement may successfully resolve the issue without the need for more complex solutions.
