1. Thats a big ole No. Are you serious, the US government forgive? HA. That is a good one.
2. The IRS does not have a heart. They never "forgive" taxes unless you are destitute (no home, no car, no assets at all, no job, etc). If you don't pay you will not be able to have a bank account, a house or a car. You sometimes can get them to settle for less on the penalty and interest side, almost never on the actual taxes owed. Good luck, the IRS has all the power and you have none.
3. The IRS will forgive tax debt. Just go through bankruptcy procedding, piece of cake, right?
4. Look in the Blue Pages of your phone book under US Government for the nearest office of the Internal Revenue Service- Taxpayer Assistance Division office and bring your ID,Social Security card,and all your paperwork along with your W-2(s). Explain your situation and these folks can help you with payment arrangements,answer any and all tax questions AND help file your taxes for free.
5. i no from expierence the irs doesnt forgive when you owe money, ive paid bak some from as many as 10 yrs ago..
6. The IRS has an process called an "Offer In Compromise", where you make an settlement offer based on your assets and your future earning ability. These compromises are very time consuming and 85+% of them are rejected. So, the answer is "maybe" but probably not.
7. As another poster said you can try the Offer in Compromise, but chances are that you would be turned down if it is shown that you are working and could pay what you owe over time. Depending on why your taxes weren't paid on time,(illness,out of the country, etc) If you have the full amount of the Tax paid off in full, you can request an abatement of the penalties you were charged if you meet the requirements. Interest is never abated. Call The IRS @ 1-800-829-1040 Those advertisements you see on TV are a ripoff. They take their fee up front and do nothing,
