Real Stories, Real Relief
Clear Start Tax's impact is best illustrated through the experiences of its clients:
Hector's Journey - Settled $30,000 for $100

After years of struggling with a $49,000 tax debt, Stacy found solace in Clear Start Tax's expertise. By qualifying him for the Offer in Compromise program, his entire debt was eliminated, offering her peace of mind and financial freedom.
Understanding the IRS Fresh Start Program
Originally created to help taxpayers struggling after the recession, the IRS Fresh Start Program remains one of the most effective tools for reducing tax debt-especially through Offer in Compromise (OIC). This program allows qualifying taxpayers to settle for less than what they owe, based on their income, assets, and ability to pay.
Clear Start Tax has helped thousands navigate the OIC process, ensuring applications are submitted accurately, supporting documents are in place, and clients receive the best possible outcome.
While Offer in Compromise remains the most powerful option under the Fresh Start Program, it's not the only one. The IRS also provides other resolution options, including:
Installment Agreements, which allow individuals to pay down their debt over time in affordable monthly installments
Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status, which pauses collection activity for those facing serious financial hardship
Clear Start Tax's proficiency in navigating these options ensures clients receive solutions tailored to their unique situations.
Why Expert Help Matters
Successfully resolving tax debt through the Fresh Start Program takes more than just filling out forms. The IRS reviews detailed financial information-and a single mistake can result in a denial, delay, or a less favorable outcome.
Clear Start Tax provides:
Comprehensive financial analysis and eligibility review
Full preparation and submission of IRS relief applications
Direct negotiation with the IRS on the client's behalf
Ongoing support to stay compliant after resolution
Client-Centric Approach
Clear Start Tax's success is rooted in its personalized, results-driven approach. By conducting in-depth financial reviews and maintaining clear, consistent communication, the firm ensures clients feel supported and informed at every stage of the resolution process.

Trump admin sets the record straight on reports of Musk 'body-checking' Treasury Secretary at White House
The Washington Post reported after speaking with Steve Bannon that Elon Musk aggressively "body-checked" Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at the White House earlier this year, highlighting flared tensions between the tech billionaire and members of the Trump administration. The report stated that Musk and Bessent had entered the Oval Office in April to express their preferences for acting IRS commissioner. After Trump sided with Bessent's choice and the two men exited the Oval Office, they were said to have exchanged insults and, at one point, Musk allegedly rammed his shoulder into Bessent's ribcage and Bessent hit him back, Bannon said, informing the outlet that the information had been shared with him. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the report on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures," telling Fox News' Maria Bartiroimo that the incident was less dramatic than many assumed. "I certainly wouldn't describe it as a fistfight. It was definitely a disagreement," she shared. "Although I was not there, I didn't witness it with my own eyes. I heard about it through secondhand reporting. But again, we've moved on from that. The president has moved on from it, and the entire administration is focusing on passing this [big beautiful] bill." The former DOGE cost-cutter is allegedly discontent over the president pulling the nomination of his ally and longtime Democratic donor Jared Isaacman to run NASA, as well as Trump's big, beautiful bill, which does not solve the deficit or include subsidies for electric vehicles. The bill caused some contention from Musk and within the GOP, with some lawmakers, including Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., unwilling to vote "yes." Musk lambasted the bill as a "pork-filled," "disgusting abomination" with a public attack on X last week, writing, "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." Leavitt cited a previous assertion that "healthy disagreements" have occurred between Trump's cabinet members and the former DOGE leader, adding that the team was still able to come together for the good of the American people despite the friction. "You saw when President Trump graciously sent Elon Musk back to his companies, Secretary Bessent was there in the Oval Office, along with Secretary Lutnick and Stephen Miller. I was there, the chief of staff was there, and we were all hoping for the best for Elon," she said. The press secretary also sounded off on a recent tweet from ABC News correspondent Terry Moran, who drew ire from the White House on Sunday after tweeting a rant against deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and President Trump in a now-deleted social media post, in which he called them both "world-class" haters. "This is, again, coming from someone who is supposed to be an unbiased and professional journalist. This is unacceptable and unhinged rhetoric coming from somebody who works at a major television network," Leavitt said. An ABC spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement that the outlet stands for "objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others." "The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation," the statement continued.

Austin, Texas, continues to attract some of the most innovative minds and fastest-growing startups in the country. From tech ventures to local service-based businesses, the entrepreneurial spirit is thriving. Yet for all the excitement and energy, one challenge keeps tripping up promising ventures: financial mismanagement. Many entrepreneurs focus on product development, customer acquisition, and branding—leaving accounting, forecasting, and compliance as afterthoughts. But in a city where competition is fierce and investors are selective, overlooking your financial health can cost you growth—or even your business. The startup journey often comes with: Inconsistent revenue Unclear cash flow Poorly tracked expenses Tax surprises Missed funding opportunities Founders are typically visionaries, not financial experts. As a result, many operate their businesses using spreadsheets, gut instincts, or outdated accounting software.

By working closely with your accountant and eventually a CPA firm, a CFO keeps you organized year-round so you're not scrambling when April rolls around.

The Protection Tax small business program provides tailored support for entrepreneurs navigating IRS debt while managing day-to-day operations. Unlike individual taxpayers, small businesses often face multi-layered tax issues — including 941 payroll tax liabilities, 1099 misreporting, and business-related audits. The Protection Tax team is equipped to handle these complexities with credentialed professionals, IRS transcript access, and financial documentation reviews. Protection Tax business clients undergo a full compliance review at intake, where missed filings, unremitted payroll taxes, or overstated expenses are identified and addressed. The firm helps business owners correct past filings, avoid further penalties, and negotiate manageable IRS repayment structures — including installment agreements and hardship status, when eligible. The Protection Tax resolution process emphasizes legal accuracy, not temporary fixes. All recommendations are based on verified IRS data, not guesswork. This approach is especially valuable for business owners who previously relied on bookkeepers or unlicensed tax preparers and are now facing enforcement actions. Protection Tax compliance protocols also include audit defense preparation, revenue verification, and real-time monitoring of IRS transcripts. Whether it's a sole proprietorship or a multi-employee corporation, each case is reviewed according to IRS standards and matched with the correct relief strategy.
