Struggling with IRS or State Tax Debt?

Owing money to the IRS or state tax authorities can feel overwhelming—but you have options. At Chisholm Law Group, LLC, we help individuals and businesses take control of their tax issues with practical, affordable solutions tailored to your situation.

IRS Recovery from High-Income Non-Filers

In 2024, the IRS recovered $1.3 billion from high-income individuals who failed to file tax returns.

The IRS is intensifying enforcement efforts against high-income non-filers, increasing the risk of penalties and legal consequences. Individuals in similar situations can benefit from legal assistance to resolve outstanding tax issues before enforcement escalates.

Chisholm Law Group Can Help You Find a Way Forward

You don’t need to face the IRS alone—and you don’t need to be wealthy to get effective help. Whether you owe a few thousand dollars or much more, we’re here to guide you through every step.

Services We Offer:

Installment Agreements

Set up affordable monthly payments with the IRS or state agencies. We offer help with:

    • Streamlined Installment Agreements: Individuals owing less than $50,000 are eligible for fast-tracked installment agreements with minimal paperwork. Thanks to the IRS Fresh Start Initiative, it’s now easier than ever to qualify for these agreements. The Fresh Start program raised the debt thresholds and expanded eligibility, meaning more taxpayers can enter into simple, long-term payment plans without the need for extensive financial disclosures. We guide you through the process to make sure your plan is set up correctly and with terms that work for you.
    • Partial Payment Installment Agreements: If you can’t afford to pay your full tax debt, you may qualify for a Partial Payment Installment Agreement (PPIA). This allows you to make lower monthly payments based on what you can afford, with the remaining balance possibly being forgiven at the end of the term. These agreements require financial documentation and periodic reviews by the IRS, but we handle the paperwork and advocate for you every step of the way.
    • Periodic Agreement Reviews: If your financial situation changes, we’ll help adjust your agreement to keep payments manageable. The IRS reviews long-term agreements regularly, and if your income or expenses shift, we can renegotiate the terms to reflect your new situation.

Offer in Compromise (OIC)

Settle your IRS debt for less than you owe. OIC eligibility depends on your financial situation, including income and (allowable) expenses, asset equity, and future earning potential. We handle everything from eligibility analysis to negotiating the best possible outcome for you.

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) lets you settle your IRS debt for less than what you owe if paying in full would cause financial hardship.

OIC Eligibility: To qualify for an OIC, the IRS considers:

    • Your ability to pay based on your income, allowable expenses, and assets.
    • Your current and future income versus necessary living expenses.
    • The value of your assets (property, savings, etc.).
    • Your tax compliance (you must be up-to-date with filings and payments).
    • Whether paying the full debt would cause undue hardship.

We’ll help you assess your eligibility and build a strong case to increase your chances of approval.

Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status

If you’re facing financial hardship and truly cannot make any payments, you may qualify for Currently Not Collectible status.

When the IRS or a state grants CNC, they temporarily halt collection efforts — no levies, no garnishments — because they recognize you cannot pay at this time.

CNC is available for:

    • Individuals owing back taxes who are unable to meet basic living expenses.
    • Businesses facing tax issues that threaten their ability to operate.
    • Cases needing periodic review, as the IRS re-evaluates CNC status over time to check if your financial situation has improved.

We’ll help you document your hardship, apply for CNC, and stay ahead of periodic reviews to protect your financial recovery.

Passport Revocation:

Passport revocation can create significant disruptions, especially if you rely on travel for business or personal reasons. At Chisholm Law Group, LLC, we help clients facing passport revocations or non-renewals due to tax debts or legal issues, guiding them through the necessary steps to resolve the situation.

If you are dealing with passport revocation or non-renewal, it’s important to act quickly. Our team works diligently to help you navigate the process and explore options like the IRS’s “Fresh Start Initiative” or offer tailored strategies to resolve underlying issues, allowing you to move forward with your life without unnecessary restrictions.

Tax Lien Subordination or Withdrawal:

If a tax lien has been filed, we help you request subordination (letting another creditor take priority) or withdrawal (removing the lien notice altogether). This can protect your credit and allow for better financial opportunities while you’re in an installment agreement.

Why Work With Us?

We make complex legal matters accessible and understandable. No guesswork. Just thoughtful, personalized planning designed to give you peace of mind.
