How Can I Obtain An Offer In Compromise?

The federal government does not readily agree to take a payment for less than the amount due. However, in certain circumstances, it will agree to reduce an individual’s tax liability through an offer in compromise.

For example, if the taxpayer is at risk of filing bankruptcy, or the amount of outstanding tax debt is so large there is no realistic possibility of it being repaid, the IRS may agree to an offer in compromise.

Offers in compromise are sensitive issues. When granted, they can become public records, visible to other taxpayers. The process of obtaining an offer in compromise is complex. It is important to have an experienced tax litigation attorney working on your case.

Are You Eligible For An Offer In Compromise?

In an offer in compromise, the IRS may agree to accept less than the full tax debt owed in exchange for forgiving the remaining tax debt. While these agreements sound good on paper, they are extremely difficult to secure and result in taxpayers making one or more lump-sum payments in discharge of their remaining tax debt.

The amount of tax debt to be paid in an offer in compromise is based on several factors, including the collectability of the tax debt. The IRS has very strict formulas it uses to determine how much could realistically be collected from the taxpayer’s assets, properties and income.

In exceptional circumstances, you also may be able to reduce your tax debt through an offer in compromise even if you have sufficient assets to pay the tax due in full. To do so, you will need to show that paying the tax debt would cause you economic hardship or would be unfair and inequitable. Attorney Randolph can help you to determine if your circumstances meet these IRS thresholds for securing an offer in compromise to reduce your tax debts.
