What tax-resolution actually does
The IRS has more relief options than most taxpayers know about. A licensed professional identifies which ones apply to your specific case.
Fresh Start eligibility check
The IRS Fresh Start Initiative expanded relief eligibility. Find out in minutes whether you qualify for Offer in Compromise, an installment agreement, or Currently Not Collectible status.
Stop wage garnishment fast
Once a tax professional files the right paperwork, wage garnishments and bank levies can often be released within days, not months.
Free confidential analysis
No fees to see whether you qualify. Consultations happen by phone with a US-based tax professional, not a call-center rep.
Penalty and interest reduction
IRS penalty abatement programs can wipe out years of penalties for taxpayers with clean prior compliance. Most taxpayers do not know they can request it.
How the free analysis works
- Step 1
Tell us your situation
Fill out the short form. We ask for your name, a callback number, your email, and how much you owe. That is all we need to match you with the right professional.
- Step 2
Free confidential call
A US-based tax-resolution professional calls you, usually the same day. They review your IRS situation, explain your options, and quote a flat fee if you want them to represent you.
- Step 3
You decide
No pressure. If you want to move forward, they handle every call and every letter with the IRS. If not, the analysis is yours to keep and use however you want.
Taxpayers who got relief
Names and details below are illustrative composites drawn from actual case outcomes. Individual results vary based on IRS eligibility criteria.
"Owed the IRS $47,000 in back taxes from a bad year. My representative filed an Offer in Compromise and it was accepted at $6,200. I would have paid a lawyer twice that just to file bankruptcy."
"They started garnishing my Social Security. I had no idea that was even legal. Within a week of my consultation, the garnishment stopped and we were on a monthly plan I could actually afford."
"Three years of penalties, about $18,000. My tax pro got most of it abated because it was my first serious tax issue. Owed the underlying tax, but the penalties came off."
"I was terrified to call the IRS myself. The professional handled every call and every letter. I never had to talk to the IRS directly, which was worth the fee alone."
Common questions
Do I really qualify for IRS relief? +
The IRS Fresh Start Initiative expanded eligibility for Offer in Compromise, installment agreements, and Currently Not Collectible status. Whether you qualify depends on your income, expenses, and asset situation. That is exactly what the free analysis reviews — you find out in one phone call, not by guessing.
Is this actually a government program? +
No. The IRS Fresh Start Initiative is a set of IRS-administered relief programs. PeakIntent is not affiliated with the IRS or any government agency. We connect qualified taxpayers with independent, licensed tax-resolution professionals who negotiate with the IRS on your behalf.
How much does it cost? +
The initial analysis is free. If a professional takes your case, their fee depends on your situation — typically a flat fee based on the complexity of the resolution. They will quote you before any engagement so you know the cost upfront.
Can they stop wage garnishment or a bank levy? +
In most cases, yes — but timing matters. A licensed tax professional can file paperwork with the IRS that releases levies and garnishments, often within days of engagement. The sooner you call after receiving an IRS notice, the more options are available.
What if I owe less than $10,000? +
Most tax-resolution firms focus on cases $10,000 and up because that is where their services provide real financial benefit. If you owe less, you may be better served by contacting the IRS directly to set up a payment plan, which is free to do at IRS.gov.
Will you share my information? +
Your information is shared only with the vetted tax-resolution professional matched to your case. We do not sell your data to marketing lists. See our Privacy Policy for details.
