The options to resolve your problem are dependent upon your tax situation. Things that may be considered are errors made by the taxation authorities, financial standing of the taxpayer and more. Below are some methods that can possibly be used to resolve your tax problem.

• CDP or CAP Hearing: The IRS and many states provide the taxpayer the ability to appeal certain tax actions, whether they are enforcement actions or decisions that a taxpayer wants to challenge.
• Filing Tax Returns: Sometimes just filing tax returns that were due can help you alleviate any tax problems.
• PPIA: This method allows the taxpayer to make a payment amount they can afford each month. The statute of limitations may expire before the total amount is satisfied.
• Uncollectible/Hardship: Any type of activities against the taxpayer may be stopped until the taxpayer’s financial situation improves. If the financial situation does not improve by the time the statute of limitations expire, the amount in question does not have to paid.
• Fines Abatement: If it can be proven that the taxpayer has an acceptable reason for not staying in compliance with the tax laws, the taxation authorities may waive fines that were charged.
• Amending Tax Returns: Many situations come up where the taxpayer may have made errors with a prior filing or the taxation authorities filed on the taxpayers behalf which caused them to have a higher liability than they actually should have. Amending these returns can significantly change the tax balance due, or possibly even be due a refund.
