  • Dateline Resources Fully Funded for Colosseum Gold Project Bankable Feasibility Study

    Dateline Resources Fully Funded for Colosseum Gold Project Bankable Feasibility Study

    SAN BERNARDINO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / Dateline Resources Limited (OTC:DTREF)(ASX:DTR) is pleased to update its shareholders on the strong financial position and ongoing progress of its flagship Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Element (REE) Project in California. With a robust cash balance and recent capital inflows, the Company is fully funded to complete the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) for the Colosseum Gold Project, a significant milestone in unlocking the project’s value.

    Key Highlights

    Dateline Resources is well-positioned with current cash reserves of $1.95 million, which are expected to increase to $2.3 million upon receipt of part of the proceeds from the Udu Copper Project sale. The Company has raised approximately $1.1 million through recent warrant exercises, reflecting strong shareholder support. The BFS for the 1.1 million ounce Colosseum Gold Project is progressing on schedule, with metallurgical test work now underway. Additionally, planning for a dedicated REE drilling program at Colosseum is being advanced and guided by leading REE experts. The Company is also on track to uplist to the OTCQB Venture Market in Q3 2025, enhancing visibility for U.S. investors.

    Financial Strength to Drive Colosseum Forward

    Dateline’s cash reserves stand at $1.95 million, bolstered by $1.1 million raised from recent warrant exercises. An additional $350,000 is expected from the partial payment of the sale of the non-core Udu Copper Project in Fiji, bringing the total cash balance to approximately $2.3 million. These funds fully cover the costs of the Colosseum Gold Project’s BFS, ensuring the Company can advance this critical study without delay. The Company has also seen growing interest from warrant holders seeking to convert their holdings, signaling potential for additional organic funding. By monetizing non-core assets like the Udu Copper Project, Dateline is strategically focusing resources on its high-potential U.S. projects, particularly Colosseum.

    “We are in a strong financial position to complete the Colosseum BFS, a pivotal step toward realizing the project’s full potential,” said Stephen Baghdadi, Managing Director. “With the support of our shareholders and disciplined capital management, we are well-equipped to deliver value for our investors.”

    Colosseum Gold Project: BFS Progress

    The BFS for the Colosseum Gold Project, which hosts a JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource of 1.1 million ounces of gold (27.1Mt @ 1.26g/t Au), commenced last month and remains on schedule. Key activities include metallurgical test work, with drill core shipped to Kappes, Cassiday & Associates in Nevada for analysis. Australian Mine Design & Development (AMDAD) is overseeing mine engineering, ensuring a comprehensive study that will guide the project’s development. The BFS is expected to be completed in December 2025

    Rare Earth Elements: Expanding Colosseum’s Potential

    In addition to its gold resources, Colosseum holds significant REE potential. Planning for a targeted REE drilling program is advancing, with program design led by renowned experts Dr. Anthony Mariano and Tony Mariano. The Company is finalizing drill targets and logistics and will soon commence the tender process for a drilling contractor. This program, announced on May 5, 2025, underscores Dateline’s commitment to maximizing the value of Colosseum’s diverse mineral assets.

    OTCQB Uplisting to Broaden U.S. Investor Access

    Dateline is on track to uplist to the OTCQB Venture Market in Q3 2025, a move designed to increase visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors. This uplisting will complement the Company’s ASX listing and support its growth strategy in the U.S. market, where Colosseum is strategically located in the Walker Lane Trend, less than 10km from the Mountain Rare Earth mine.

    About Dateline Resources Limited

    Dateline Resources Limited (OTC: DTREF, ASX: DTR) is an Australian publicly listed company focused on mining and exploration in North America. The Company owns 100% of the Colosseum Gold-REE Project in San Bernardino County, California, which hosts a 1.1 million ounce gold resource and significant REE potential.

  • Onvida Health and Ambience Healthcare Partner to Enhance Patient Care and Revolutionize Clinical Workflows with AI Technology

    Onvida Health and Ambience Healthcare Partner to Enhance Patient Care and Revolutionize Clinical Workflows with AI Technology

    YUMA, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / Onvida Health, a leading provider of integrated care throughout Arizona, and Ambience Healthcare, the leading AI platform for clinical documentation, CDI, and coding, today announced the launch of a pilot program across multiple clinical sites.

    Onvida Health clinicians across outpatient, inpatient, and emergency department settings will be piloting Ambience’s suite of AI applications to generate comprehensive and compliant documentation in real time-directly within Epic’s Electronic Health Record (EHR).

    The pilot, launching in June 2025, reflects Onvida Health’s ongoing commitment to delivering the highest quality care in the region-while supporting clinicians with innovative technology to improve efficiency, reduce burnout, and increase time with patients.

    With this technology, Onvida Health providers will spend less time on administrative work and more time with patients-while strengthening documentation integrity, supporting compliance, and improving financial accuracy.

    “We are investing in the most advanced AI platform in healthcare because we believe the best patient care starts with supporting our clinicians,” said Marc Chasin, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Onvida Health. “Ambience will allow our clinicians to spend less time on paperwork and more time with their patients-while improving quality, accuracy and compliance.”

    Ambience’s suite of AI applications includes:

    • Scribing: The only AI medical scribe built to support the medicine, workflows, and coding and billing requirements of more than 100 specialties and subspecialties, including inpatient and emergency medicine

    • CDI: A point-of-care CDI assistant that analyzes conversations and surfaces precise ICD-10 codes, CPT codes, and full audit trails for revenue cycle teams

    • Patient Summaries: Comprehensive summaries for patients, their families, and caretakers

    • Referrals: Clinically relevant and well-organized referral letters for primary care clinicians and specialists

    Ambience’s AI platform helps clinicians design their agenda before a patient visit begins. Once the clinician is in the room with a patient, Ambience listens to the conversation. The technology then leverages all of the patient’s historical EHR data, as well as the recording of the visit, to automate documentation for the patient and clinician. This includes clinical notes, after-visit summaries, referral letters, and CPT and ICD-10 coding suggestions.

    “By equipping our clinicians with Ambience’s AI technology, we’re ensuring that every patient receives more personalized attention, more thorough care, and a better overall experience,” said Kristina Diaz, M.D., President of Onvida Health Medical Group. “This partnership is about giving our patients and clinicians the time, focus, and quality they deserve-putting the human connection back at the center of every visit.”

    Clinicians at leading health systems across North America leverage Ambience before, during, and after patient encounters. Ambience has been deployed at Cleveland Clinic, UCSF Health, St. Luke’s Health System, Houston Methodist, John Muir Health, Memorial Hermann Health System, and others.

    “We are honored to partner with Onvida Health, an organization deeply committed to putting patients first, supporting their providers, and driving innovation,” said Mike Ng, CEO and Co-Founder of Ambience Healthcare. “Today, clinicians spend only about a quarter of their time on direct patient care – and together with Onvida Health, we are going to change that. By supporting every clinical encounter with Ambience’s AI technology, we’re helping clinicians reclaim their time, enhance compliance and accuracy, and refocus healthcare around what matters most: the patient.”

    About Onvida Health

    Onvida Health is a not-for-profit hospital system with 430 inpatient beds, 45 outpatient clinics and a free-standing Emergency Department. The Onvida Health team includes 495 providers representing 52 specialties, 4000 employees and hundreds of volunteers who work closely together to create a welcoming, caring and compassionate environment for patients and their families.

  • enVVeno Medical Appoints Jennifer Bright as Chief Financial Officer

    enVVeno Medical Appoints Jennifer Bright as Chief Financial Officer

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:NVNO) (“enVVeno” or the “Company”), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of deep venous disease, announced the appointment of Jennifer Bright as Chief Financial Officer, effective today, May 19, 2025. Ms. Bright brings more than 25 years of financial and strategic leadership experience built across several commercial-stage medical device and pharmaceutical companies including Biolase, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Apria Healthcare, Smile Brands, and Teleflex Medical, as well as technical accounting and auditing experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

    “Jennifer brings a wealth of commercial experience to the CFO role, which we believe will be instrumental as we transition from a development-stage company to a commercial entity,” said Robert Berman, enVVeno Medical’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to overseeing our financial strategy and operations, Jennifer will play a critical role in strengthening our financial infrastructure, supporting our commercialization efforts for VenoValve, and expanding our relationships with institutional investors and analysts. Her experience navigating growth and change will be a valuable asset as we enter this next phase of the Company’s evolution.”

    Ms. Bright is a Certified Public Accountant and received a B.A. degree in Business Administration, Accounting, from the University of Washington. She succeeds Craig Glynn, who will continue to be available to the Company in an advisory capacity.

    The Company is currently developing two devices for the treatment of deep venous CVI, a potential first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve called the VenoValve®, and a non-surgical replacement venous valve called enVVe®. The Company estimates that there are approximately 2.5 million potential new patients each year in the U.S. that could be candidates for replacement venous valves, including approximately 1.5 million with active venous ulcers. The Company has submitted a pre-market authorization (PMA) application for the VenoValve to the FDA, with a decision anticipated in the second half of 2025. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects to file an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) seeking authorization from the FDA to begin enVVe pivotal trial.

    About CVI
    Severe, deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a debilitating disease that is most often caused by blood clots (deep vein thromboses or DVTs) in the deep veins of the leg. When valves inside of the veins of the leg fail, blood flows in the wrong direction and pools in the lower leg, causing pressure within the veins of the leg to increase (venous hypertension). Symptoms of severe CVI include leg swelling, pain, edema, and in the most severe cases, recurrent open sores known as venous ulcers. The disease can severely impact everyday functions such as sleeping, bathing, dressing, and walking, and is known to result in high rates of depression and anxiety. There are currently no effective treatments for severe CVI of the deep vein system caused by valvular incompetence. Estimates indicate that CVI costs the U.S. healthcare system in excess of $4 billion each year.

    About enVVeno Medical Corporation
    enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based, late clinical-stage medical device Company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of deep venous disease. The Company’s lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous CVI. The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVI called enVVe®. CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal and become chronic. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The Company has submitted a pre-market authorization (PMA) application for the VenoValve to the FDA, with a decision anticipated in the second half of 2025 and is currently performing the final testing necessary to seek approval from the FDA for the enVVe pivotal trial.

  • Tharimmune Appoints Renowned Counter-Terrorism and Critical Infrastructure Expert James Gordon Liddy (CDR US Navy SEAL (Ret)) as Key Strategic Advisor Against Weaponized Fentanyl and Other High-Potency Opioids Following Positive FDA Feedback

    Tharimmune Appoints Renowned Counter-Terrorism and Critical Infrastructure Expert James Gordon Liddy (CDR US Navy SEAL (Ret)) as Key Strategic Advisor Against Weaponized Fentanyl and Other High-Potency Opioids Following Positive FDA Feedback

    BRIDGEWATER, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / Tharimmune, Inc. (Nasdaq:THAR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics, today announced the appointment of James Gordon Liddy (CDR US Navy SEAL (Ret)) as a strategic advisor. Mr. Liddy, an internationally recognized expert on counterterrorism and critical infrastructure protection, will provide invaluable guidance as Tharimmune advances the development of TH104, its lead program for temporary prophylaxis against respiratory and/or central nervous system depression in military personnel and chemical incident responders exposed to high-potency opioids, including potential weaponized agents like fentanyl.

    Mr. Liddy brings a distinguished career and unparalleled expertise in national security and preparedness to Tharimmune. As the Senior Advisor to the Director for Strategy, Policy and Initiatives for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and previously the Chief of Plans and Policy for the United States Special Operations Command’s Washington Office, he played a pivotal role in designing and coordinating policy, operational plans, and strategic initiatives for the Global War on Terrorism. His experience as a member of a highly classified national security program further underscores his deep understanding of the threats facing the nation.

    Notably, CDR Liddy’s tenure as the Combating Terrorism and Special Operations Officer for the Chief of Naval Operations saw him as the principal architect for the Navy’s Anti-Terrorism Force Protection Plan and the leader of the Navy’s elite Antiterrorism Assessment Team (Red Cell). He also spearheaded the creation of DoD’s Anti-terrorism and Force Protection Plan DoD Directive 20012.H, demonstrating his capability to develop and implement critical protective measures at the highest levels of government.

    Tharimmune recently announced positive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the advancement of TH104 for the prophylaxis indication against ultrapotent opioid exposure. The FDA indicated that no additional clinical trials appear to be necessary prior to a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) submission, allowing Tharimmune to leverage existing data and focus on this critical unmet need for military personnel and first responders.

    “We are honored to welcome James Gordon Liddy to our team as a strategic advisor,” said Vincent LoPriore, Executive Chairman of Tharimmune. “His extensive background in counter-terrorism, critical infrastructure protection, and the development of national security strategies aligns perfectly with our mission to advance TH104 as a crucial medical countermeasure against the threat of weaponized opioids. Mr. Liddy’s insights and guidance will be invaluable as we work to bring this potentially life-saving prophylaxis to those on the front lines.”

    Mr. Liddy’s deep expertise in threat assessment, preparedness, and response planning will provide Tharimmune with unique strategic perspectives as the company navigates the development and potential deployment of TH104 within national security frameworks. His understanding of the operational environments faced by military personnel and chemical incident responders, as well as the critical need for effective countermeasures, will be instrumental in shaping Tharimmune’s approach.

    “I am impressed with Tharimmune’s commitment to addressing the serious national security threat posed by high-potency opioids, including weaponized fentanyl,” said James Gordon Liddy. “The potential of TH104 to provide a temporary prophylactic solution is significant. I look forward to contributing my experience to help guide Tharimmune’s strategy and accelerate the availability of this important medical countermeasure to protect our servicemen and women and first responders.”

    Mr. Liddy holds a Masters Degree from the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and has completed the Information Operations Curriculum at the National Defense University. He is also a Doctoral student in Complex Emergency and Disaster Management at Tulane University, with a Graduate CBRNE sub-specialty curriculum from the Uniformed Services Medical School, Bethesda MD. He is also the co-author of the New York Times bestseller, FIGHT BACK, Tackling Terrorism Liddy Style.

    About Tharimmune, Inc.

    Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNR) Reports First Quarter 2025 Results, Increases 2025 Pro Forma Revenue Guidance to more than $75M

    Company reports quarterly revenue of $1.4 million; net loss and earnings per diluted Share of $6.6 million and $1.74

    Quarterly adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.5 million reflects 29% YOY improvement

    Stockholders’ equity was $13.8 million at quarter end

    Increases 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $75 million based on strong first quarter across TRNR, Sportstech and Wattbike

    AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) (“TRNR” or the “Company”), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands and pending acquirer of Sportstech and Wattbike, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

    The Company reported revenue of $1.4 million, a nearly 4x increase from the prior-year period. Net loss for the quarter was $6.6 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $11.4 million and $2,681.82 per share in the same period last year. These figures do not include the pending acquisitions of Sportstech and Wattbike.

    Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a loss of $2.5 million, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Stockholders’ equity increased to $13.8 million, up from $7.1 million at year-end 2024, strengthening compliance with a key Nasdaq continued-listing requirement.

    As a result of strong Q1 performance across TRNR and the pending acquisitions of Sportstech, and Wattbike – which all together generated more than $20 million in pro forma revenue during the first quarter – the Company is raising its full-year 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $75 million, a greater than 15% increase from the April guidance of $65 million.

    Trent Ward, CEO and Co-Founder of TRNR, said: “Our acquisition activity in the past few months and our improved shareholder’s equity are expected to result in a transformational year. While our Sportstech and Wattbike deals are not yet closed, and therefore not reflected in our reported financials yet, we are operating as one group and our pro forma Q1 shows more than $20M in revenues when including those acquisitions. As a result, we are increasing our 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $75M and we expect that we will generate positive adjusted EBITDA in Q4 given that we would have been close to this milestone on a pro forma basis in Q1. We’re focused on closing the transactions in the near-term and integrating operations to drive increased growth and synergy.”

Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we may announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The inclusion of our website address or the address of any third-party sites in this press release are intended as inactive textual references only.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.

    The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure in this press release consist of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on debt extinguishment; vendor settlements; and transaction related expenses.

    The Company believes the above adjusted financial measures help facilitate analysis of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

    • Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense (income), net, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired;

    • Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and

    • Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and may also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

    Our use of Adjusted EBITDA, or any other non-GAAP financial measures we may use in the future, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:

    • Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

    • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment charges for fixed assets and capitalized content, and gains (losses) on disposals for fixed assets;

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (gains) losses associated with debt extinguishments.

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect losses associated with vendor settlements.

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related expenses for CLMBR acquisition and pending acquisitions of Wattbike and Sportstech.

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non cash fair value gains (losses) on convertible notes, derivatives, warrants and unrealized currency gains (losses).

    Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. For example, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures is limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Forward Looking Statements:
    This press release includes certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe”, “project”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “strategy”, “future”, “opportunity”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “would”, “will be”, “will continue”, “will likely result” or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the possibility of acquiring future businesses or completing the referenced pending transactions in a timely manner or at all, the financial performance of those acquisitions and the resulting guidance of having more than $75m of pro forma revenue in 2025, achieving profitability by Q4, and the financial performance of the acquisition targets which have not been audited or reviewed by a PCAOB auditor and could vary materially (a) once that audit or review work is completed and such financials are included in the Company’s reported financials and (b) due to the effect of the exchange rates of foreign currencies which can be volatile. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the expectations and projections of the Company. Risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: demand for our products and the products of the acquisition targets if the acquisitions are completed (collectively, the “Products”); competition, including technological advances made by and new products released by our competitors and the competitors of the acquisition targets; our ability to accurately forecast consumer demand for our Products and adequately maintain our inventory; and our reliance on a limited number of suppliers and distributors for our Products. A further list and descriptions of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

  • IRS Backlog Is Shrinking – But Enforcement Is Speeding Up: Clear Start Tax Explains Why Now Is the Time to Act

    IRS Backlog Is Shrinking – But Enforcement Is Speeding Up: Clear Start Tax Explains Why Now Is the Time to Act

    With Faster IRS Processing, Taxpayers May Face Quicker Enforcement – Clear Start Tax Urges Immediate Action to Avoid Penalties

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / The IRS has made significant progress in clearing its backlog of unprocessed returns and collection cases, but that may not be good news for taxpayers who are behind. According to Clear Start Tax, a nationally recognized tax resolution firm, fewer delays mean faster enforcement, and taxpayers who previously benefited from slow processing may now find themselves facing levies, liens, and garnishments with little warning.

    “The IRS has caught up – and they’re coming faster,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “If you owe back taxes or haven’t filed, now is the time to act. The window to resolve your situation before enforcement begins is closing.”

    Faster Processing Means Quicker Consequences

    In the wake of increased funding and technology upgrades, the IRS is moving more aggressively to enforce unpaid tax balances. Taxpayers who previously went months-or even years-without contact are now receiving notices and enforcement actions much more quickly.

    Clear Start Tax warns that this acceleration puts taxpayers at higher risk of:

    • Wage garnishments that reduce take-home pay without court involvement

    • Bank levies that freeze and drain checking or savings accounts

    • Tax liens that damage credit scores and block financial opportunities

    • Penalty and interest accumulation that rapidly increases the total debt

    Why Waiting Is No Longer a Safe Option

    In previous years, delays within the IRS backlog often gave taxpayers additional time before enforcement actions began. Now that processing has accelerated, that grace period has effectively disappeared. Clear Start Tax notes that once a case enters the IRS collections system, enforcement is frequently initiated through automated processes – making a timely response more critical than ever.

    “Enforcement is moving faster than many taxpayers expect,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “Once the IRS begins its process, things can escalate quickly without warning.”

    The Clear Start Tax Approach: Strategic Support Before the IRS Acts

    Clear Start Tax takes a proactive, hands-on approach to resolution, not just reacting to IRS enforcement, but helping clients stay ahead of it. Every case begins with a full financial analysis to understand the taxpayer’s position and identify the most effective path forward.

    The team then develops a personalized plan that may include:

    • Submitting an Offer in Compromise to settle the debt for less than what’s owed

    • Setting up a structured Installment Agreement with affordable monthly payments

    • Requesting Currently Not Collectible status for those experiencing financial hardship

    • Engaging directly with IRS agents to halt garnishments, release levies, or delay further action

    Beyond resolving the immediate issue, Clear Start Tax works with clients to ensure they remain compliant going forward, so future risks are minimized and financial stability is restored.

    About Clear Start Tax

    Clear Start Tax is a full-service tax liability resolution firm that serves taxpayers throughout the United States. The company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with a wide range of IRS and state tax issues, including back taxes, wage garnishment relief, IRS appeals, and offers in compromise.
