Client Story

IRS Notices, Hardship, and a Fresh Start: Diana’s Journey to Zero Balance

Diana
San Diego, CA
Age: 43
$9,200
*Owed Tax

Diana contacted Fresh Tax Solutions Inc. shortly after filing her tax return and learning she owed approximately $9,200. While the balance itself was manageable, the pace and tone of IRS notices suggested the situation could escalate quickly if left unaddressed.

Rather than waiting, Diana chose to act early.

Fresh Tax Solutions reviewed her IRS transcripts and gathered documentation to ensure full compliance. Preparation of the following year’s return was a necessary step, as hardship-based resolutions require all filing obligations to be current.

The IRS issued formal notices confirming the balance and initiated enforcement warnings. Once filing was permitted, Diana’s next return resulted in a refund, which was applied directly to the account, reducing the balance to approximately $6,400.

A comprehensive hardship package was submitted demonstrating that the required payments would create financial strain. The IRS approved the Currently Non Collectible status and halted all collection activity.

Because Diana remained compliant and her financial circumstances did not materially improve, the IRS was unable to collect before the statutory collection period expired. The remaining balance was cleared by operation of law.
