Los Angeles Tax Relief Options
The IRS offers multiple relief programs. The right one depends on your income, assets, and specific situation.
Qualify to pay less than the full amount owed. The IRS considers your ability to pay, income, expenses, and asset equity. Not everyone qualifies, but those who do can resolve significant tax debt.
Set up a manageable monthly payment plan with the IRS. Stops collection actions while you pay down the balance. Available even if you owe significant back taxes.
If paying would cause financial hardship, the IRS can place your account in CNC status — temporarily halting collection actions while your situation improves.
First-time penalty abatement and reasonable cause relief can significantly reduce IRS penalties. Many Los Angeles taxpayers qualify without realizing it.
If your spouse (or former spouse) understated taxes on a joint return without your knowledge, you may qualify for relief from that portion of the liability.
