IRS Fresh Start Program Guide
How the IRS Fresh Start Initiative expanded access to installment agreements and lien withdrawal.
The Fresh Start Initiative made three changes. Streamlined installment agreements increased to $50,000. The IRS will withdraw a Notice of Federal Tax Lien once you enter a Direct Debit agreement. And the OIC formula was adjusted to make more taxpayers eligible.
Lien withdrawal removes the public filing entirely. Not a release, which shows the lien was satisfied, but a withdrawal, which erases it as if it never existed. This is enormously better for credit. We handle the application.

Unfiled returns get more expensive the longer they sit. A conversation with a tax attorney costs you nothing and tells you where you actually stand.
