The IRS offers installment agreements (pay over time), penalty abatement (waive first-time penalties), currently not collectible status (pause collection if you can't pay), and the Offer in Compromise (settle for less than owed if you qualify).

Why this Back Taxes & IRS Debt Resolution page is written for Arena District
a community where Somali, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Nepali are spoken every day across schools, workplaces, and houses of worship — and Arena District, with a population near 2,400, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Across Columbus Metro, the tax filings we see most often are mixed-status household returns, ITIN applications, prior-year corrections, and small-business Schedule C filings for new entrepreneurs. Arena District families work with us to assemble accurate ITIN packets, proper dependent identification, and consistent address history across federal and Ohio state returns.
Arena District sits in Columbus Metro, home to Ohio State University, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan Chase operations, and the rapidly growing Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in Licking County. Franklin County, where Arena District is located, is a small rural town where families coordinate document trips around county courthouse hours and metro federal services.
COTA bus service connects the metro, but most appointments require driving — most clients reach our office via I-71, I-270, or Cleveland Ave. From Arena District (ZIP 43215), the trip is roughly 7 miles each way.
Arena District is about 7 miles from our Morse Rd office — typically a 13-minute drive. Most returns are completed in a single visit; ITIN packets sometimes need a quick follow-up for original-document return.

I owe IRS $20,000. Can I really settle for less?+
Possibly — through the Offer in Compromise program. The IRS evaluates your "reasonable collection potential" based on assets, monthly income minus allowable expenses, and time remaining on the collection statute. Acceptance rates hover around 30-40% for properly prepared OICs. We assess eligibility before recommending.
Will IRS take my house if I don't pay back taxes?+
IRS can file a tax lien (a public record claim against your property) for any unpaid balance over $10,000. Levies (actual seizure) happen only after multiple notices and typically target bank accounts and wages before real property. We help prevent escalation through proactive resolution.
Can I just set up a payment plan online?+
Yes — if you owe less than $50,000 and can pay within 72 months. Set it up at IRS.gov/payments. The setup fee is $31 for direct debit, $130 for non-direct-debit. For balances over $50,000 or longer terms, professional setup is recommended to ensure terms are sustainable.
How far is your office from Arena District?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 7 miles from Arena District — typically a 13-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Arena District residents owe local city income tax?+
Most Ohio municipalities in Franklin County levy a 1-2% local income tax on residents and on income earned within city limits. We calculate your local tax liability and file the local return alongside your federal and state returns when applicable.
