What Is Tax Settlement?

While you may look at taxes as a legal obligation you owe for living in the United States, the truth is our government, like any other business, is interested in getting its money. If you have reached a point where you are swimming in debt and see no way out, you will not be able help the government obtain what they need to keep going.

A tax settlement is a legal agreement that allows you to pay your back taxes on a concrete schedule and at an interest rate you and the IRS can agree on.

The benefits of a tax settlement include:

• Generally lower amounts owed: Once you reach an agreement with the IRS about how you will pay back the taxes, your interest fees will stop increasing and you will be able to make low, scheduled payments.
• No more late fees: Now that your taxes have been officially settled, you won’t have to worry about the open-ended questions of when you will clear your balance. Because the tax settlement is a legally binding agreement, you can make payments that meet your budget.
• Keeping your property: Possibly the most worrisome part about late taxes is when your property becomes subject to levies—you could wake up one morning to an empty driveway where your car used to be. With a tax settlement, you will have settled all your debts and will be able to hang on to property that might be otherwise taken to cover what you owe.
