IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / If you're hoping to reduce, resolve, or even eliminate your IRS tax debt through the IRS Fresh Start Program, there is one thing you need to know before anything else: documentation is everything. According to Clear Start Tax, thousands of taxpayers are denied relief or face delays simply because they cannot provide the three basic financial records the IRS requires to evaluate Fresh Start eligibility.
The firm warns that even if someone qualifies for programs like Offer in Compromise or Currently Not Collectible, missing paperwork can derail the process or lead to automatic rejection.

From collecting pay stubs and lease agreements to calculating self-employment income, Clear Start Tax takes the guesswork out of what the IRS wants - and when they want it.
'We make sure clients submit a clean, complete package,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'That means fewer delays, fewer rejections, and faster relief.'
