TaxRise reduces a retired mother’s tax liability by 99%

Alabama | May 2020 – In a testament to perseverance, a breast cancer patient battling multiple medical conditions finds relief from insurmountable tax debt through TaxRise’s expert intervention.
Kate*, a retired mother from Alabama, faced a daunting challenge: managing her battle with breast cancer while dealing with an IRS debt of $42,242. Through TaxRise’s dedicated advocacy, her tax burden was reduced to just $500.

A Perfect Storm

Living on Social Security retirement benefits, Kate was already struggling to afford her necessary medical treatments and medications. The mounting medical bills, combined with her tax debt, created a perfect storm of financial hardship.
As Kate focused on her health battles, the IRS’s aggressive collection efforts only added to her stress. The constant calls and threatening letters became an overwhelming burden for someone already fighting for their health.

A Daughter’s Concern

Crystal, Kate’s daughter, grew increasingly worried about how the stress of tax debt might impact her mother’s health. Understanding the gravity of the situation, she helped her mother take action by reaching out to TaxRise in 2018.

TaxRise’s Resolution Strategy

Our team stepped in to protect Kate, providing much-needed relief from collection pressure. Working closely with Crystal, we gathered all the necessary documentation to build a compelling case for relief.
Understanding the severity of Kate’s medical and financial hardship, our tax experts prepared and submitted an Offer in Compromise (OIC). When the initial offer was rejected, our team submitted an appeal, refusing to give up on finding a solution for our client.

The End Result

In early 2020, our persistence paid off. The appeal was successful, and the IRS accepted our Offer in Compromise, reducing Kate’s tax debt from $42,242 to just $500 – a remarkable 99% reduction.
Crystal expressed deep gratitude to Kate’s Case Manager for this life-changing outcome. Finally free from the burden of tax debt, Kate can now focus entirely on what matters most – her health and recovery.
