  • Review your income, expenses, and assets to meet IRS hardship criteria
  • Submit all required financial statements and documentation
  • Keep your account protected while you recover financially

You’ll receive clear steps, fast action, and total relief from IRS pressure.

Prevent Future Tax Crisis

While in hardship status, you must stay compliant to remain protected:

  • File all future tax returns on time
  • Keep records of income and essential expenses
  • Update the IRS if your financial situation changes
  • Revisit your tax strategy annually with a professional

Staying proactive prevents reactivation of collections and helps you plan long-term solutions.
