Ask about your situation

Sending this doesn't commit you to anything, and we'll always mention the free routes alongside any paid one.

Free help first

  • Apply for an IRS Offer in Compromise or payment plan directly at irs.gov, at no cost beyond any required application fee
  • Contact a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, which is often free for taxpayers who meet the income guidelines
  • Contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service, a free, independent office within the IRS for taxpayers facing hardship or a stuck case
  • Ask a CPA or enrolled agent for an initial consultation — many offer this free or at low cost before you commit to anything
Step 1

You send a short message

Tell us roughly what's happening and what you already owe, if you know — no need for exact figures yet.

Step 2

We point you to the right guide or route

Depending on what you describe, that might be a free IRS tool, a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, or a paid provider comparison.

Step 3

You decide what to do next

Nothing here commits you to a paid service — the free routes are always mentioned alongside the paid ones.

We do not publish an email address, so this form is the fastest route to a person. We cannot answer questions about your personal financial situation or tell you whether you qualify for anything.
