in tax liability forgiven by the IRS in a Single Year
According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the IRS wrote off over $129 billion in individual tax debt as currently uncollectible in 2017 alone — proof that real relief exists for qualified taxpayers.
Millions of Americans are in the same boat.
Tax debt isn’t a personal failure. The IRS delinquency system touches nearly every walk of life — and the numbers show just how widespread the problem really is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tax Relief
If you owe more than $10,000 to the IRS, have unfiled returns, or are facing aggressive enforcement like levies or garnishments, working with a professional tax relief firm like TaxWave is strongly recommended. The IRS negotiation process is complex, and experienced professionals know how to navigate programs like Offer in Compromise and Currently Non-Collectible status far more effectively than most individuals can on their own.
The IRS generally requires the last six years of unfiled returns to be brought into compliance before they will consider any resolution program. TaxWave's licensed tax preparers specialize in preparing and filing delinquent returns accurately. In many cases, we can file your missing returns and negotiate simultaneously, minimizing the time you're exposed to enforcement actions.
TaxWave uses a technology-driven intake process that lets us move faster and more accurately than most firms, while our licensed professionals handle every negotiation personally. We don't outsource your case or pass you from rep to rep. You get a dedicated case manager and direct access to the licensed professionals working on your resolution from start to finish.
Enrolling in an IRS resolution program does not by itself affect your credit score, since the IRS does not report to credit bureaus. However, a federal tax lien can appear in public records searches. Part of TaxWave's resolution process often includes pursuing lien withdrawal or subordination to protect your financial standing.
