Tool 3 ยท Resolution decision tree

Which IRS resolution guide fits your situation?

Eight multiple-choice questions route you to the guides most worth reading first. It is education, not an eligibility decision.

Answers stay in this tab, are not saved or submitted, and clear when you refresh.

Question 1 of 8

Which kind of tax problem are you trying to resolve?

This decision tree focuses on individual federal IRS debts. State and business cases need different guidance.

The interactive questions need JavaScript. The guide directory on this page works without it.

What this is and is not. This router is general education about federal IRS collection only. It does not decide whether you qualify for any program, and it does not track deadlines. If a notice gives you a date, act on that date; do not wait on this tool. For state balances, see the state agencies hub.
