Start here

IRS Notices

Decode any IRS notice, find the deadline that controls it, and respond to the urgent ones in time.

Start here

IRS Tax Debt

What happens when you owe, what the IRS can and cannot do, and how to pick the right path out.

Form 656

Offer in Compromise

When and how the IRS will settle for less than you owe, and how to know if you actually qualify.

Form 9465

Installment Agreement

Set up a monthly payment plan you can actually afford and stop the collection pressure.

Form 843

Stop a wage garnishment or bank levy and get released income back into your hands.

Status 53

Currently Not Collectible

If you cannot pay anything right now, this status pauses collection while the clock keeps running.

Form 12277

Tax Lien Withdrawal

Get a federal tax lien withdrawn, released, or subordinated so you can sell or refinance.

Back returns

Unfiled, Amended and Substitute Returns

Common Questions

Is This Legal or Tax Advice?

No. TaxCleanse is educational. The guides explain how IRS programs work and walk you through the steps, but they are not advice about your specific situation. For that, talk to a licensed professional.

Can I Really Handle This Myself?

Often, yes. Many IRS issues come down to filing the right form correctly and on time. The guides are built for that. When a situation is too complex to do alone, we say so and point you to a review.

What If My Case Is Complicated?

Use the free review. Send us the short version of what is happening and we will tell you whether it is something you can do yourself or something worth handing to a professional.

Is TaxCleanse Affiliated with the IRS?

No. TaxCleanse is an independent educational resource. We are not affiliated with the Internal Revenue Service or any government agency.
