IRS Fresh Start Programs – IRS Tax Relief

---

Dealing with the IRS is overwhelming.

Back taxes grow.
Penalties stack.
And IRS notices don’t stop on their own.

The IRS Fresh Start Program was created to help taxpayers regain control — but only if the right option is chosen.

At Newline Tax Group, we help individuals and businesses identify which IRS tax relief program actually fits their situation and handle the process from start to finish.

👉 Learn How Tax Resolution Works

The IRS Fresh Start Program is not a single program.

It’s a collection of relief options designed to help taxpayers:

• reduce what they owe
• pay over time
• pause collections by choosing Currently Not Collectible status
• remove penalties

In certain cases, an Offer in Compromise option may allow the IRS to accept less than the full balance owed. 

Each option has strict qualifications based on income, assets, and compliance status.

Choosing the wrong one wastes time — and can trigger enforcement.

That’s where professional guidance matters.

Settle your tax debt for less than the full balance when you qualify based on income and assets.

Make structured monthly payments that fit within IRS guidelines.

Temporarily stop IRS collections when paying would cause financial hardship.

Penalty abatement removes penalties that have inflated your balance and accelerated growth.

Each program works differently.

The right choice depends on your financial profile — not preference.

Working with Newline Tax Group means you don’t deal with the IRS alone.

Our role is to remove uncertainty and manage the process correctly.

We do this by:

• pulling official IRS transcripts to confirm balances and status
• analyzing income, expenses, and assets using IRS standards
• identifying which Fresh Start options actually apply
• communicating directly with the IRS on your behalf
• keeping you compliant so the issue stays resolved

Our team includes licensed IRS Enrolled Agents with over 20 years of combined experience negotiating with the IRS nationwide. 

Each of the following programs may apply depending on your situation:

• Offer in Compromise – Resolve debt for less than owed
• Installment Agreements – One manageable monthly payment
• Currently Not Collectible Status – Temporary collection pause
• Penalty Abatement – Reduce added penalties

These options are tools — not guarantees.

Using the right one matters.

IRS interest and penalties compound monthly.

The longer you wait:

• fewer options remain
• enforcement escalates
• relief becomes harder to secure

Fresh Start programs are available — but timing matters.

It takes less than 30 seconds to determine whether any options may apply.

No pressure.
No upfront retainer.
Just clarity.

👉 See What Options May Apply

Do I need to owe a certain amount to qualify?

• Many Fresh Start options apply when balances exceed $10,000, though some programs are available for smaller amounts.

Does Fresh Start eliminate all tax debt?

• Not automatically. Some programs reduce balances, others pause collections. Eligibility depends on income, expenses, assets, and compliance.

How long does the process take?

• An installment agreement can be established within weeks. Settlements may take several months. We manage communication with the IRS to keep cases moving.

Newline Tax Group works with taxpayers in Costa Mesa and throughout California to resolve IRS tax issues under the Fresh Start Program.
