Clear Start Tax Shows How Americans Are Transforming Tax Burdens Into Fresh Starts
IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2025 / For thousands of Americans grappling with back taxes, the IRS Fresh Start Program has opened the door to meaningful relief - but many taxpayers still don't realize they qualify. Clear Start Tax, a national leader in tax resolution, helps clients turn overwhelming tax problems into manageable solutions.
A Game-Changer for Taxpayers Struggling With Tax Debt
Launched to help struggling taxpayers regain stability, the Fresh Start Program offers more than just payment plans - it offers a chance to reduce tax balances, avoid aggressive collections, and reclaim financial peace of mind. Whether through an Offer in Compromise that settles debt for a fraction of what's owed, a tailored Installment Agreement, or Currently Not Collectible status that halts IRS actions during hardship, these tools have reshaped the financial future of thousands.
"Many taxpayers are surprised to learn the IRS offers legitimate relief options," said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. "Our focus is on helping clients access these solutions and regain financial stability with confidence."
Why Proactive Action Pays Off
Clear Start Tax emphasizes that early action can make all the difference. Waiting too long can trigger wage garnishments, bank levies, or liens that shrink options and escalate costs. Acting early allows taxpayers to preserve access to the most flexible solutions - and can even unlock better settlement terms.
How the Fresh Start Program Works
The IRS Fresh Start Program was designed to help taxpayers resolve back taxes in a manageable, structured way. It works by assessing the taxpayer's current financial situation - including income, expenses, assets, and liabilities - to determine what level of repayment is realistic. Depending on eligibility, the IRS may agree to reduce the total amount owed, set up a payment plan, or pause collections entirely. To qualify, taxpayers must stay current on future tax filings and submit detailed financial information to demonstrate their hardship or limited ability to pay.
The Clear Start Tax Difference: Strategy, Advocacy, Results
What sets Clear Start Tax apart isn't just its knowledge of IRS programs - it's the firm's hands-on, client-first approach. Each case starts with a detailed financial assessment, allowing the team to match the client to the right program. From there, Clear Start Tax handles complex paperwork, negotiates directly with IRS agents, and stays by the client's side through every step of the process.
"Our role isn't just to fill out forms - it's to be a strategist, an advocate, and a guide," added the Head of Client Solutions. "We help people regain control of their finances, not just their ledgers."

US stock futures little changed ahead of US-China trade talks

U.S. stock futures are little changed with inflation data due and possibly, some clarity on where the U.S. and China stand on trade issues and how the Senate may vote on the more than 1,000-page tax bill before it. The May consumer price index report, due midweek, could provide insight into whether the tariff rollercoaster is reviving inflation. It is the first full month of data since President Donald Trump announced his aggressive tariff plan on April 2. Many of the harshest tariffs have been rolled back or paused, but some have kicked in. Wholesale price data are due the next day and could give investors an idea of whether there is inflation coming down the pipeline to Americans. Wholesale prices are what businesses pay for their goods and services. At the end of the week, a new consumer sentiment reading from the University of Michigan also includes data on inflation expectations. Separately, officials from the U.S. and China are expected to hold trade talks in London, Trump said last week. The talks follow a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping after Trump accused China of violating terms of a tariff pause agreed on last month in Switzerland. At 5:45 a.m. ET, futures linked to the blue-chip Dow rose 0.12%, while broad S&P 500 futures added 0.12% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures were flat. All three indexes closed higher last week, and the S&P 500 is now less than 3% from its record high. The S&P 500 topped the 6,000 mark for the first time since Feb. 21. Investors will also continue to watch the path of the One, Big Beautfil bill in the Senate after a public and fierce tit-for-tat exchange between Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and Trump over social media about the tax bill. Musk called the bill a "pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," and Trump called Musk "crazy." Cryptocurrency platform Gemini said it confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering of class A shares. The IPO is expected after the SEC review process, it said in a release. Medora Lee is a money, markets, and personal finance reporter at USA TODAY.

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: The tax understatement was due to the other spouse's error (such as unreported income or inflated deductions).The innocent spouse didn't know, and had no reason to know, about the issue at the the innocent spouse liable would be unfair or create innocent spouse applies within the IRS's filing window (generally two years from first collection notice). 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."
