I review a lot of businesses. I am fair and want to provide information for people who genuinely are looking at a business to use for themselves. Regarding doing business with the Tax Hardship Center, it’s too good to be true but WOW. They helped me so much. I felt like I was out of a 10-year prison at the end. The feeling I had after they worked out all the issues I had with back tax penalties, etc., was just such a relief.
Special thanks to: Josh Bensimhon, Senior Tax Analyst, my first impression on the phone. After 2 months of searching, he was the first person that put me at ease. Jessy Zhu, Tax Preparer, for the speed and accuracy of getting the electronic form filled in and filed. Leslie Welch, Tax Preparation Associate, who clearly and precisely explained what my role was and the timeline I was on.

Frequently asked questions
Tax relief questions we hear every day
Can the IRS settle tax debt for less than the full amount?
Yes, in certain cases. An Offer in Compromise is a real IRS program, but approval depends on eligibility, compliance, and documented finances.
Can you help stop wage garnishment or a bank levy?
Often, yes. The right move depends on the type and timing of the notice. Acting quickly matters because missing deadlines can limit your options.
Do I need to file my tax returns before I can get tax relief?
In many situations, yes. Most relief options require returns to be filed, or to be filed as part of the resolution plan.
What happens if I ignore an IRS notice?
Notices can escalate from reminders to collection actions, including liens, levies, or wage garnishment. Responding earlier usually gives you more flexibility.
Can the IRS take my tax refund if I owe back taxes?
In many cases, yes. Refunds can be applied to past-due balances until the debt is resolved or a formal plan is in place.
What is an IRS installment agreement, and do I qualify for one?
An installment agreement is an IRS payment plan. Qualification depends on your balance, filing status, and your ability to make payments that meet IRS requirements.
Can I lower my IRS monthly payment if I cannot afford it?
Sometimes. The IRS may consider different terms or other relief paths depending on your income, expenses, and overall financial situation.
What is the Currently Not Collectible status?
It is a hardship status that may pause IRS collection activity when paying would create financial strain. It is not forgiveness, but it can provide breathing room.
Can IRS penalties be reduced or removed?
In some cases, yes. Penalty relief depends on the type of penalty and whether you meet IRS criteria, such as reasonable cause or other eligibility pathways.
How long does tax relief take?
Timelines vary based on tax years involved, filing needs, IRS processing, and the program used. During your consultation, you will get a realistic timeline for your situation.
