When full repayment is not possible, options like Offers in Compromise or status classification as currently not collectible can provide relief. These solutions require documentation and negotiation to demonstrate inability to pay or qualify for reduced settlements. Engaging with these programs often leads to reduced debts and halted collection actions, offering clients a path to financial recovery.

The time to resolve retirement tax issues varies depending on complexity and chosen solutions. Simple cases like penalty abatements can take a few weeks, while comprehensive resolutions like Offers in Compromise may require several months. Efficient handling and clear communication throughout the process help expedite outcomes. Our team remains responsive to our clients, striving to manage timing expectations realistically and provide progress updates regularly.
