Tax resolution refers to the legal processes and strategies used to resolve disputes or unpaid obligations with tax authorities. It seeks to find solutions that minimize financial impact while ensuring compliance with tax laws. Approaches may include negotiating settlements, arranging payment plans, or contesting improper assessments.

Familiarity with common terms can help you better understand the tax resolution process. Below are definitions of key concepts frequently encountered during resolution efforts.
An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the tax authority to settle a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is typically available when paying the full amount would cause financial hardship.
An Installment Agreement allows taxpayers to pay their tax debt over time in manageable monthly payments. This arrangement helps avoid immediate collection actions and provides a structured repayment plan.
Unfiled Tax Returns refer to tax returns that have not been submitted to tax authorities by the required deadlines. Addressing unfiled returns is essential to avoid penalties and resolve outstanding tax obligations.
Certain tax debts may be discharged through bankruptcy under specific conditions. Bankruptcy can provide relief but requires careful evaluation to determine eligibility and implications.
Various legal paths exist to resolve tax debts, each suited to different financial situations and tax issues. Choosing the right approach involves weighing benefits, costs, and potential outcomes to find the best fit for your circumstances.
If your tax debt is relatively small or involves only a single tax year, a limited resolution approach such as filing unfiled returns or setting up a straightforward installment plan may adequately address the issue without extensive negotiation.
In some cases, simply bringing your tax filings up to date and ensuring compliance can resolve problems before they escalate. This approach focuses on preventing further penalties and streamlining future tax obligations.
Substantial tax liabilities or complicated tax histories often require a comprehensive approach involving negotiation with tax authorities, possible offers in compromise, and detailed financial analysis to secure a favorable settlement.
