Are you ready for the IRS to forgive you?
You may be wondering if IRS debt forgiveness even exists. It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? The short answer is that you can get IRS tax debt forgiveness regardless of how much or how long you owe in delinquent taxes.
How Can I Get My Taxes Forgiven?
It can seem impossible to see the light at the end when you are trying to get out of a mountain of back taxes. The truth is that there is help available, and it is coming from the IRS. Many people who are dealing with tax debt and the consequences it has on their lives believe they won't get the help they need. The IRS will work with you regardless of how old your tax debt may be.
There are many misconceptions about tax forgiveness and how to apply it. Some programs can be used in cases where you are not eligible, such as the innocent spouse provisions. The IRS fresh start program allows for tax forgiveness credits to be applied to your earned income to reduce the amount you owe each year. In some cases, you may even be able to reduce your owing amount to zero.
To determine which forgiveness plan is right for you, we will consider your financial situation. These are the steps to an IRS debt forgiveness program:
- Acceptance to the right program after applying
- Consent to keep current with all tax returns going ahead
- Accepting all terms and conditions set forth by the IRS regarding totals due, penalty abatement, and payment terms
- Accepting that the IRS periodically reassesses your financial situation
- Payment plan or a lump-sum payment to pay off full or amended debts
Based on your financial situation, and your tax debt, the IRS will calculate how much you must pay. The first step in determining if you are eligible is to apply.
- Who is eligible for IRS tax debt forgiveness?
- What Do I Need to Qualify for IRS Tax Debt Forgiveness?
Without consulting a tax professional, it can be hard to determine if you are eligible for debt forgiveness. If you haven't paid your entire tax bill because of financial hardship, the IRS may be willing to agree with you. These are the key factors that the IRS considers:
- Tax balances below $50,000
- A single filer income cap of $100,000
- For married couples filing jointly, there is an income limit of $200,000
- Self-employed people will see a 25 percent drop in their net income
Nearly all applicants will be approved for an IRS repayment agreement. Repayment may not be the best choice for you. An Offer in Compromise, or currently non collectible status may allow you to pay less overall. Both of these options will require you to provide financial information to IRS. You don't want to present any information that could contradict your claim that your tax bill is unpayable.
The 1974 Pennsylvania General Assembly decided that some citizens of the Commonwealth needed special tax provisions because they were poor. The General Assembly decided that imposing a personal income tax on these individuals would make it impossible for them and their families to live comfortably. Because poverty is a relative concept that considers actual income as well as the dependents of such income, the General Assembly made special tax provisions to help eligible people ease their economic burden.
Tax forgiveness is a credit that allows taxpayers who are eligible to lower their Pennsylvania personal income tax liability. Tax forgiveness:

How Does Tax Forgiveness Work?
Credits against back taxes are the best way to get tax forgiveness. These credits can help reduce your tax liability. You must ensure that the IRS considers your taxable income and non-taxable income as well as your financial situation and family size.
It's important to understand the process of tax forgiveness as we go along this article. It's not about forgiving your late taxes. They disappear in smoke and are never seen again. Credits against back taxes are a better way to get rid of tax debt. These credits can be used to reduce your tax liability, or even eliminate it. To determine if you are eligible, the IRS considers the amount of your taxable income and non-taxable income. It also considers the size of your family and your financial situation.
What are some of the tax forgiveness programs?
There are many relief options that you have. Your eligibility depends on your circumstances. We'll be discussing a few options for forgiveness and relief in detail in this article.
Installment Agreements
An installment contract is performed over several performances, such as payment, delivery of goods, or performances of service. An installment contract can specify that one or both of the parties must perform each installment. A contract could say that the buyer would pay a lump amount for goods over some time. Or that the seller would deliver the products and then receive payment.
If you are unable to pay the full amount, these agreements allow you to reduce your tax debt by paying it off in smaller amounts. The most common repayment term is 72 months. This option is not available to those who owe more than $50,000 in taxes, interest, and penalties.
Innocent Spouse Relief
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which offers relief from joint and multiple liabilities arising out of joint tax returns, has the innocent spouse rule as one of the three types. This rule allows the applicant to be exempted from paying any tax, interest, or penalties due to erroneous information reported by their spouse. Any unreported gross income, incorrect deductions, credit, or property basis claimed or received by the spouse are all considered erroneous. A total relief is available to the applicant if they knew nothing or had any reason to know about the erroneous items, or partial relief if the applicant only knew about a part of the erroneous items.
The IRS explains that an applicant for innocent spouse relief must satisfy three requirements. First, the applicant must have filed a joint tax return in which there is an understatement tax due to erroneous items that were not attributable to their spouse. Second, the applicant must not have known or had any reason to know that the tax was understated at the time they signed it. Third, the applicant cannot be held liable for the spouse's understatement tax given their facts and circumstances.
The spouse and the applicant must not have been involved in fraudulent transfers of property. If the applicant meets these requirements, they must file Form 857 with the IRS within two years of the IRS' first attempt to collect the higher tax. Exceptions may be granted for equitable relief.
This program will allow you to avoid penalties resulting from tax fraud or inaccuracies on your spouse's tax returns. This is a very specialized relief program.
Offer In Compromise
These numbers will be taken into consideration by the IRS and you may be eligible to file an Offer in Compromise. This is the closest the IRS can offer to tax forgiveness, except in very specific situations. It allows you to negotiate with the IRS the amount that you can pay.
This is a settlement program that allows you to pay much less than what you owe the IRS.
Not Collectible
Currently Not Collectible (or "Currently Not Collectible") is a relief program designed to provide a fresh start for taxpayers who can prove they can't pay their tax debt.
It is not an automatic process to qualify for tax debt forgiveness. Just because you meet the requirements does not mean that you will be granted forgiveness.
