Yes, IRS tax forgivness is possible but is not an option for everyone. Being able to pay less is is determined mainly by your ability to pay, future ability to pay, situation that caused the liability, errors made by you or possible errors made by the IRS. Below are some methods a tax pro can leverage to help you pay less taxes.

• OIC: This method allows taxpayers to pay less than the total amount owed if they meet the strict guidelines and complete the paperwork 100% correctly.
• Partial Payment Installment Agreement: Allows the taxpayer to make small monthly payments towards the tax balance. The tax amount may be forgiven if it is not all paid back before the collection statutes expire (day they can't collect anymore). .
• Uncollectible/Hardship: The taxing authorities can stop collection actions until the taxpayer's financial situation improves. The tax amount may be forgiven if their situation doesn't improve before the statute expires.
• Prove Reasonable Cause: If the taxpayer has an acceptable reason for not staying in compliance with tax laws there is a possibility that they may waive fines that were charged.
• Amending tax returns: Many situations come up where the taxpayer may have made errors with prior filings or the tax authorities filed on their behalf which caused them to owe more taxes than they actually did. In these situations an amended tax return will be filed to lower the tax liability.

Be wary of tax companies that promise they can get your taxes forgiven because there is no way of them knowing for sure before knowing your complete tax and financial situation.

Before a taxpayer becomes a client, an investigation is generally completed. An investigation includes reviewing the taxpayer's tax transcripts and financial situation to determine the best course of action. A tax company who promises certain outcomes before reviewing a taxpayer's tax history and financial situation, is not being truthful.

A reputable tax resolution service can help individuals file unfiled tax returns, obtain maximum deductions, stop bank holds, stop paycheck deductions, help with audits, possibly remove or lower tax fines, possibly lower the tax amount owed, get the taxpayer back into full tax compliance and most importantly prevent future actions from the taxation authorities while keeping your best interest and financial situation in mind.
