Tax Resolution Solutions: Your Path to Peace with the IRS

When you're facing tax problems, the pressure can feel endless—letters from the IRS, mounting penalties, threats of wage garnishment, and fear of asset seizures. But the truth is, you do have options, and you don’t have to face the IRS alone.

At Trifecta Tax Relief, we specialize in helping individuals and small business owners resolve their tax issues with strategic, legal, and personalized solutions. Here’s an overview of the most common tax resolution strategies and how they can help you regain control of your financial life.

What Is Tax Resolution?

Tax resolution is the process of working with the IRS or state taxing authorities to settle a tax debt, resolve compliance issues, and avoid aggressive collection actions like levies or garnishments. The right strategy depends on your unique financial situation, the amount you owe, and your ability to pay.

Common Tax Resolution Strategies

1. Installment Agreement

If you can’t pay your full balance at once, the IRS allows you to pay over time through a monthly payment plan. We help you negotiate terms that are realistic and affordable.

2. Partial Payment Installment Agreement (PPIA)

This is a reduced monthly payment plan based on your financial hardship. It allows you to pay less than what you owe over time, often until the statute of limitations runs out.

3. Offer in Compromise (OIC)

This powerful option lets you settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. If you qualify based on financial hardship, we can present a compelling offer to the IRS on your behalf.

4. Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status

If you’re in a situation where you genuinely cannot afford to pay anything right now, we can request CNC status, which temporarily halts collection actions against you.

5. Penalty Abatement

IRS penalties can double or even triple your original debt. If you qualify due to reasonable cause (illness, disaster, or other hardship), we can request that those penalties be reduced or completely removed.

6. Innocent Spouse Relief

If your spouse or former spouse’s tax mistakes led to the problem, you may be eligible to separate yourself from the liability. We can help you file for relief and protect your income and assets.

7. Filing Unfiled Tax Returns

If you haven’t filed in years, the IRS can file returns on your behalf—usually not in your favor. We help you file accurate back tax returns and minimize the damage before the IRS comes knocking.

8. State Tax Relief Programs

We also handle state tax problems. Many states have their own resolution options, and we know how to negotiate directly with them.
