• COLLECTION ALTERNATIVES

    You have options.

  • Do you owe taxes?

    You have options.

    What is the first question you should ask when you owe taxes, what are my options?

    Yes, you have 6 options.

    01 

     

    Bankruptcy

     

    Filing for bankruptcy may help discharge certain tax debts, but it’s important to meet specific criteria and understand that not all tax liabilities can be eliminated.

    04 

     

    Installment Agreement

     

    An installment agreement enables you to pay off your tax debt in manageable monthly payments, spreading the burden over a set period instead of paying it all at once.

    02 

     

    Currently Not Collectible

     

    If you are unable to pay your tax debt due to financial hardship, you may qualify for "Currently Not Collectible" status, which temporarily halts collection.

    05 

     

    Liability

     

    Understanding and clarifying your tax liability is crucial, as it determines how much you owe and what steps you can take to resolve the debt effectively.

    03 

     

    Full Pay

     

    By full paying your tax debt, you will significantly reduce the amount of penalties and interest, along with the risk of enforcement actions like lien and/or levies.

    06 

     

    Offer in Compromise

     

    An Offer in Compromise allows you to compromise your tax debt for less than the full amount, based on your financial situation and fulfillment of the terms of the agreement.

    During my years with the IRS many people expressed to me how they did not know what options were available. So I decided to share this information through workshops, something no one has done before. - Nathalie Raygosa

  • Reasons for the Workshops

    Many are not aware of the options.

    Try a different approach to informing and helping the public learn about collection options and issues.

    Some representatives do not have the time to review this information with each of their clients.

    Many taxpayers never knew this information and wished they had called sooner.

    To help people resolve their tax debts, by providing knowledge about collection options, issues and tools.
