Offer in Compromise
Can’t afford IRS taxes due? We can help.
Did you know that you can settle your debt with the IRS for just pennies on the dollar with their Offer in Compromise (OIC) program? The program allows taxpayers to settle with the IRS on tax debt that has been incorrectly assessed or for liabilities they cannot afford to pay.
The IRS Code states: “We will accept an Offer in Compromise when it is unlikely that we can collect the full amount owed and the amount you offer reasonably reflects the collection potential…” (Internal Revenue Code section 7122). Often it is possible to fully and completely eliminate the taxes you owe – including all penalties and interest – at an enormous discount. There is no preset bottom limit that the IRS will accept to settle your debt especially if your offer is done “right.”
If done correctly your debt may be settled for only 5-15% of what you presently owe. The key is to determine the least amount that the IRS will accept from you before you make the offer. We will help you minimize your tax debt via an offer in compromise by evaluating your situation, advising you on your options, and working with you to prepare and submit the required documentation for this common form of tax settlement.
Before you can request an OIC, all of your tax returns must be filed and you must pay a deposit of 20% of your offer amount. A settlement can be made in one lump sum, or over a number of months. However, it is more difficult and costly to get OICs approved that will pay over time, so a lump sum payment is the most practical option for most taxpayers. During the OIC process, your objective is to convince the Service that you are paying them something that they would not otherwise get. To prove this claim, you are required to complete a detailed financial statement, listing all of your income, bank accounts, and assets. If your assets exceed your debt, your offer will not be accepted. Government figures show that 75% of Offers in Compromise are returned due to forms being filled out incorrectly; and of the 25% that are processed, approximately 50% of them are rejected. Our team utilizes specialty software to prepare OIC ensuring that every offer we submit is accepted for processing and approved by IRS.
