Unintentionally violating tax laws can happen to anyone. The IRS has created the Fresh Start program. The IRS's nonserial offender policies may be the right solution for you if you are eligible.

Businesses impacted by recent California fires may qualify for extensions, tax relief, and more; please visit our State of Emergency Tax Relief page for additional information.

The federal Fresh Start Program does not offer tax relief. Only those who meet the eligibility criteria will be eligible. If you are unable to show that paying your tax bill would result in significant financial hardship, then you will need to be eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Initiative. What type of Fresh Start tax program you can access will depend on the severity of your financial hardship. While the IRS provides guidelines on what constitutes a financial emergency, it is up to you to prove that hardship.

We know what you’re thinking—this Fresh Start Program seems too good to be true! The good news is that the IRS program is 100% legitimate.

If you earn a low to moderate income, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) can help you by reducing the amount of tax you owe. To qualify, you must meet certain requirements and file a tax return. Even if you do not owe any tax or are not required to file, you still must file a return to be eligible. If EITC reduces your tax to less than zero, you may get a refund.

This should not take more than 24 months from the acceptance of your offer.
