1. Offer in Compromise |
| An Offer in Compromise is a proposal submitted to the IRS requesting relief from a taxpayer’s full tax debt. With documentation, review, and analysis it may be possible to settle a tax debt for less than 100% of the amount owed. An Offer may be accepted by the IRS if the taxpayer can demonstrate that “equity in assets” and “disposable income” does not add up to enough for the taxpayer to full pay.
An offer in compromise allows the taxpayer to settle a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. It may be a legitimate option if the taxpayer can't pay the full tax liability, or doing so creates a financial hardship. The IRS considers a taxpayer’s unique set of facts and circumstances.
The IRS generally approves an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most the IRS can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time. The Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone.
Before the IRS can consider an offer, the taxpayer must be current with all filing and payment requirements. The taxpayer is not eligible if in an open bankruptcy proceeding.
This presentation is designed to provide an overview of the Offer program.
