Tax Relief in Colorado Springs, Colorado
Setting up a payment plan with the IRS is one challenge. Keeping it going through a job change, a family emergency, or a lean year is another. Fresh Start Tax Relief Services helps taxpayers in Colorado Springs and the surrounding Pikes Peak region with both. We are a women-owned business based in Pasadena, California, and our licensed tax agents bring decades of IRS experience to clients across Colorado.
Helping Taxpayers in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region
Our Colorado Springs clients start the same way everyone does: a call to (800) 250-8884 or a few minutes with our online application. We ask about your situation, your income, and what a good outcome looks like to you. Southern Colorado is part of a much larger map for us: "Not only do we service every single county in California, but we service taxpayers nationwide."
If You Have Already Tried to Handle It Yourself
In most cases, people wait until the last moment to call us, or until they have exhausted every other option. Maybe you called the IRS and felt lost. Maybe you agreed to a payment you could not really afford. None of that disqualifies you from getting help. We step in as soon as you become a client and start working on the specifics of your case right away.
Payment Plans: Getting One and Keeping It
An installment agreement lets you pay your tax debt over time instead of all at once. For individuals who owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest, the IRS generally offers a streamlined agreement that can stretch payments across up to 72 months without a detailed financial statement. Larger balances usually require more documentation and negotiation.
Getting approved is only half the job. While a plan is in place, you are expected to file every future return on time and pay any new taxes when they are due. A new balance or a missed filing can put the agreement at risk. We negotiate terms you can realistically handle so that the plan holds up over the long run.
What Happens If a Plan Falls Apart
Miss payments or fall out of compliance, and the IRS can default your agreement. Once that happens, collection activity can resume, including a tax levy on your bank account or wages. For people who thought their tax problem was behind them, it can be a painful surprise.
If your agreement has defaulted or is close to it, call us before the next notice arrives. We look at what changed, review whether the terms still fit, and work with the IRS on a path forward that reflects where your finances stand today.
A Women-Owned Team That Listens
We are a team of hardworking women who treat every case as unique. That starts with listening. We want to understand your story and your goals before recommending anything, and we will always give you the truth about your options, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
