Program Acceptance Guarantee
Follow our step-by-step guidance and get accepted into an IRS relief program—or we'll refund your subscription fees up to $100.
The FreshRelief Guarantee
We guarantee that if you follow our exact steps—whether through our Automated Tax Relief online platform or our Essential Tax Relief offline guidance—you will be accepted into one of the three primary IRS relief programs:
- Offer in Compromise (OIC)
Settle your tax debt for less than you owe
- Currently Not Collectible (CNC)
Pause IRS collections due to financial hardship
- Installment Agreement (IA)
Set up a monthly payment plan you can afford
If you complete all required steps as directed and your application is rejected by the IRS, we will refund your FreshRelief subscription fees—up to $100—no questions asked.
Why Getting Into a Program Matters
Once the IRS accepts you into a relief program, you gain significant protections. Being in an active program helps prevent:
- Bank account levies—the IRS cannot seize funds from your accounts while you're in good standing with your program
- Wage garnishments—your paycheck stays intact when you're making agreed-upon payments or qualify for hardship status
- Additional penalties—while interest continues, failure-to-pay penalties are significantly reduced when you're in compliance
The key is staying in good standing: making payments on time for Installment Agreements, maintaining qualifying hardship status for CNC, or fulfilling OIC terms. As long as you don't default on your program requirements, these protections remain in place.
Understanding the Limitations
While we stand behind our program acceptance guarantee, there are certain things outside our control that we cannot guarantee:
The IRS moves at their own pace. OIC applications can take 6-24 months to process. We cannot speed up federal government timelines.
Tax liens already filed remain on record. While programs can help prevent new liens, removing existing ones requires separate processes.
If collection actions are already in progress, stopping them requires urgent intervention. Our guidance helps prevent future actions, not reverse current ones.
While relief programs address your core debt, penalty abatement and interest relief are separate requests with their own qualification criteria.

Maintaining Your Protection
Getting into a program is the first step. Staying protected requires keeping your agreement in good standing:
For Installment Agreements
Make every monthly payment on time. Miss a payment or file a new return with a balance due, and your agreement may default—reopening you to collection actions.
For Currently Not Collectible Status
Your financial hardship must remain genuine. If your income significantly increases, the IRS may remove your CNC status and resume collection. File all future tax returns on time.
For Offers in Compromise
Complete the settlement payment as agreed, file all tax returns on time for the next 5 years, and pay any new tax balances in full. Violating these terms can reinstate your original debt.
