Unpaid Taxes? Learn How Tax Amnesty Can Help You.

Tax Amnesty: Resolve Your Tax Debt with Penalty Forgiveness.

If you’ve fallen behind on your taxes or failed to file, Tax Amnesty programs can help you get back on track by offering forgiveness for penalties and interest in exchange for paying the taxes you owe. At Cheshier Tax Resolution, we guide individuals and businesses through tax amnesty programs to settle their tax debts, avoid severe penalties, and regain financial stability.

What is Tax Amnesty?

Tax Amnesty is a limited-time program offered by the IRS or state tax authorities that allows taxpayers to resolve their outstanding tax liabilities. Through tax amnesty, you may be able to:

  • Avoid or reduce penalties that have been imposed for failing to file or pay taxes on time.
  • Reduce interest charges on unpaid taxes.
  • Resolve tax debts without facing more severe enforcement actions like levies, garnishments, or liens.

While the IRS doesn’t always have a formal “tax amnesty” program, similar programs exist that allow for relief through Installment AgreementsOffer in Compromise, or Penalty Abatement. Additionally, many states offer temporary tax amnesty programs that allow you to settle state tax debts without heavy penalties.

Do You Qualify for Tax Amnesty?

Eligibility for tax amnesty varies depending on the specific program and whether it’s offered by the IRS or state tax authorities. Common qualifiers include:

  • Unfiled tax returns: If you’ve failed to file one or more tax returns, amnesty may allow you to file past returns without incurring penalties.
  • Unpaid tax debt: If you owe taxes but haven’t paid them, you may be able to avoid penalties by paying the overdue amount within the amnesty period.
  • State tax liabilities: Some states offer tax amnesty programs periodically, allowing residents or businesses to pay back state taxes with reduced penalties or interest.

At Cheshier Tax Resolution, we’ll assess whether you qualify for IRS or state-level tax amnesty and help you take the necessary steps to take full advantage of the program.

Benefits of Tax Amnesty.

Participating in a tax amnesty program can offer several advantages, including:

Get compliant: Amnesty allows you to catch up on unfiled or unpaid taxes and get back in compliance with tax authorities, reducing future tax risks.

Reduced penalties and interest: You may be able to significantly lower the amount you owe by having penalties and interest reduced or eliminated.

Avoid IRS enforcement actions: By settling your tax debt through amnesty, you can avoid aggressive IRS collection actions such as levies, garnishments, or liens.
