The IRS Fresh Start Program is an initiative designed to make it easier for individuals and small businesses to pay back taxes and avoid tax liens. It includes provisions such as extended installment agreements, offers in compromise, and increased thresholds for tax liens.
IRS Fresh Start Program eligibility includes individuals and small businesses facing financial difficulties, with specific criteria for each part of the program. Individuals who owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest can qualify for streamlined installment agreements. Those with higher debts may need to provide detailed financial information to be considered.

To apply for the IRS Fresh Start Program:

  • Determine which part of the program you're eligible for (e.g., installment agreement, offer in compromise).
  • For installment agreements, you can apply online through the IRS website if you meet the criteria.
  • For an offer in compromise, submit Form 656, Offer in Compromise, along with the required documentation and application fee.

Yes, the IRS Fresh Start Program is a legitimate program offered by the IRS to help taxpayers settle their tax debts under more manageable terms and avoid liens.
Participating in the IRS Fresh Start Program itself does not hurt your credit score. However, if the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien against you before you enter the program, the lien could affect your credit. The program can actually help prevent such actions by facilitating easier repayment terms.
The cost to participate in the IRS Fresh Start Program varies based on the specific pathway you're eligible for and apply to. For example, an Offer in Compromise requires a $205 application fee and initial payment (varies by case), while setting up an installment agreement may involve a setup fee that can range from $31 to $225, depending on the type of agreement and whether you set it up online or via another method. Fee waivers may be available for qualifying low-income taxpayers.
