Asked
Questions

Many situations come up where the taxpayer may have made errors with prior filings, or taxation authorities filed on their behalf (SFR) which caused them to have a larger tax balance than if the taxpayer had filed their tax return. In these situations, an amended tax return can lower outstanding tax liabilities if accepted.

If the taxpayer has an acceptable reason for not staying in compliance with tax laws, there is a possibility that the IRS and some states may waive fines that accrued.

This method allows taxpayers to pay far less than their tax balance if they meet the strict guidelines and complete the paperwork 100% correctly.

The taxing authorities can stop collection actions until the taxpayer’s financial situation improves. The tax may be forgiven if their financial situation doesn’t improve before the statute expires.
