One base rule for the offer in compromise program. IRS is only concerned about your income and assets. this includes your equity in your home, pension plans are IRA’s.

One nice thing about the IRS accepting your offer in compromise is that once you meet the terms of the settlement they will release your federal tax lien.

Below you will find out what you need to know about the offer in compromise program.

Beginning immediately:

The IRS will return any newly filed Offer in Compromise application where the taxpayer has not filed all required tax returns.

Any fees included with the OIC will also be returned.

This new policy does not apply to current year tax returns if there is a valid extension on file.

IRS will consider your unique set of facts and circumstances:

• Ability to pay;

• Income;

• Expenses; and

• Asset equity.

IRS will generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.
