What is Tax Relief?
Tax relief encompasses programs and strategies designed to help taxpayers who cannot pay their full tax liability. The IRS and California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) offer several official relief programs, and understanding your options is the first step toward resolving tax problems.
Los Angeles residents face unique tax challenges, from high cost of living to volatile income in entertainment and gig economy sectors. Our tax relief specialists understand these local factors and how to present your case effectively to the IRS.
Key Statistic: The IRS accepts approximately 33% of Offer in Compromise applications. Working with experienced professionals significantly improves approval odds and settlement amounts.

Tax Relief Options Explained
Offer in Compromise (OIC)
The OIC program allows you to settle your tax debt for less than you owe. The IRS evaluates your ability to pay based on income, expenses, assets, and future earning potential. Successful settlements often reduce debt by 50-90%.
Best for: Taxpayers who cannot pay their full debt within the 10-year collection period
Installment Agreement
Monthly payment plans that allow you to pay off tax debt over time. Options include streamlined agreements (for debts under $50,000) and partial payment plans where you pay what you can afford.
Best for: Taxpayers who can pay their debt over time but not immediately
Penalty Abatement
IRS penalties can add 25-75% to your original debt. First-time penalty abatement and reasonable cause abatement can eliminate these penalties, significantly reducing what you owe.
Best for: Taxpayers with clean compliance history or documented hardships
Currently Not Collectible (CNC)
If paying any amount would cause financial hardship, the IRS can place your account in CNC status. Collections stop, and if the statute of limitations expires (10 years), the debt may be forgiven.
Best for: Taxpayers experiencing severe financial hardship
