Clear Start Tax Outlines the Key Documents Required for IRS Fresh Start Eligibility and Why Incomplete Files Often Lead to Rejection 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. 'The IRS won't evaluate hardship based on what you say - they base it on what you can prove,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'And most people don't realize how critical their documentation is until it's too late.' The Three Essential Documents the IRS Requires for Fresh Start Program Whether you are applying for a settlement, hardship status, or any form of Fresh Start relief, Clear Start Tax says these three documents are non-negotiable: Without this full financial snapshot, the IRS cannot properly assess eligibility or approve a resolution plan. By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they're eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt. Why the IRS Demands Full Financial Disclosure The IRS uses your financial documents to determine your reasonable collection potential - essentially, what they believe you can afford to pay.

Divorced and Facing IRS Collection? Clear Start Tax Outlines How Innocent Spouse Relief Could Save You Thousands
Clear Start Tax Explains How Divorced Taxpayers Can Escape IRS Liability for a Former Spouse's Mistakes IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025 / Divorce can be complicated enough without the added stress of IRS debt. Yet every year, countless divorced Americans are shocked to discover they're on the hook for a former spouse's tax liabilities - often for mistakes they didn't know about. According to Clear Start Tax, a leading national tax resolution firm, the IRS's Innocent Spouse Relief program can offer a powerful - and often overlooked - solution. When Divorce Leaves Taxpayers Facing a Former Spouse's Mistakes Many taxpayers assume that a divorce decree automatically separates their financial obligations. But under joint tax returns, the IRS can pursue either spouse for the full amount owed, including taxes, penalties, and interest. That means years after a divorce, one spouse may face wage garnishment, bank levies, or collection notices for a tax bill they had no role in creating. 'We've worked with clients blindsided by IRS letters years after their divorce,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'Innocent Spouse Relief can be a lifeline in these cases - but most people don't even realize it exists.' Who Qualifies for Innocent Spouse Relief? Clear Start Tax explains that the IRS looks at several key factors when reviewing Innocent Spouse claims: Why the Right Approach Is Essential for Approval While the program offers powerful protection, Clear Start Tax emphasizes that success depends on a careful application and thorough documentation. Missing deadlines, submitting incomplete paperwork, or misunderstanding eligibility rules can lead to denial, leaving taxpayers exposed to the full debt. 'Innocent Spouse Relief isn't just a form-it's a carefully built case,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'We work closely with our clients to present the strongest possible application, so they can move forward without being burdened by a former partner's tax mistakes.'
