Alabama IRS Tax Debt Settlement
It’s crucial to pay and clear your taxes as early as possible to avoid additional liabilities imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Failure to do so can result in penalties and debt, and if left unresolved, the IRS is authorized to levy your properties and salary to cover your payments.

How to Settle Your IRS Tax Debt
To avoid penalties, it’s vital to pay your tax debt on time. If you find it challenging to meet deadlines, it’s important to negotiate easier payment options with the IRS. Our Alabama IRS tax debt settlement lawyers can guide you through the various options available for settling your tax liabilities.
Here are some of the tax debt settlement options we can help you with:
-
Currently Not Collectible
- For taxpayers needing extra time to pay their tax debt without sufficient income, the IRS may grant a “Currently Not Collectible” status. This status prevents tax collection for a year, though interest and penalties continue to accrue. The IRS will review your income and assets annually to determine if you still qualify.
-
Bankruptcy
- Filing for bankruptcy can partially or fully reduce your tax debt, though it impacts your credit score. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you might achieve full tax forgiveness or significant debt reduction, while Chapter 13 allows for reduced penalties and an installment repayment plan over six years or less.
-
Innocent Spouse Claim
- If you file taxes jointly and errors or unpaid debts arise, you can claim innocent spouse status to absolve yourself from responsibility. This applies if you were unaware of these issues. Other options include separation of liability relief and equitable tax relief for joint filers.
-
Payment Plans or Installment Agreements
- An installment agreement is suitable if you can pay your tax liabilities through monthly installments over a period of up to six years, with low interest rates.
-
Offer in Compromise
- If you lack valuable property and your income only covers daily expenses, you might qualify for the “Offer in Compromise” program. This program allows you to pay a reduced percentage of your tax debt, with the remainder forgiven. The amount depends on your financial situation and tax debt.
-
Statute of Limitations
- The IRS has ten years to collect a tax debt after it is assessed. After this period, the debt is forgiven, and no further collection is possible. However, certain conditions may affect the applicability of this statute. We will review your situation to see if it applies.
