When the IRS shut down along with the rest of the U.S. during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, its offices accumulated a mind-boggling 11 million pieces of unopened mail. As the agency reopens and is working to catch up on all of that correspondence, the inevitable delays could work in your favor.
The Backlog Buys You Time
The time it takes the IRS to sort through 11 million pieces of mail is time you gain to get your finances together before the tax collector comes knocking at your door. It also gives you time to consult a knowledgeable tax professional who can advocate on your behalf and get you the best result for the least amount of money.
When taxpayers fill out our Tax Relief Survey, they are able to see if they qualify for the IRS Fresh Start Program and begin their journey toward tax resolution in minutes.
The backlog of cases also means IRS agents don’t have as much time to investigate individual cases, and have become more lenient when considering whether a taxpayer is eligible for the Fresh Start Initiative, a tax debt relief program that could reduce your tax bill by as much as 95%.
How to Get Started
When you fill out a brief survey, you can find out in as little as 15 minutes if you are eligible for programs like the Fresh Start Initiative, which may help you settle your tax debt for much less than what you currently owe.
