Without sufficient evidence, the IRS won't accept a request for tax relief through any program in the Fresh Start Initiative. Include as much evidence as you can when you send a request. Documentation is the best way to prove compliance with the IRS Fresh Start Program guidelines. Documentation includes, but isn't limited to, medical statements from doctors, reports from fire departments, reports from insurance companies, statements regarding student loans, and certificates proving the death of family members. Also, we recommend that you include a letter along with your Form-843 explaining your personal situation as well as the reasons why you cannot pay off your outstanding tax debt. You must file all your unfiled or missing tax returns in order to receive tax relief through the Fresh Start Program. Also, your estimated tax payments and current withholdings must also be current. Finally, you must file all of your tax returns for the last six months. A professional tax relief company is the best way for you to stop your request from getting denied. Even if the IRS denies your request, a tax relief agency can help you file an appeal.

Receiving monthly payments now could mean that you have to return those payments when you file your tax return next year. If things change again and you are entitled to the Child Tax Credit for 2021, you can claim the full amount on your tax return when you file next year.
