What is a IRS Tax Settlement

 
An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It may be a legitimate option if you can’t pay your full tax liability, or doing so creates a financial hardship.
IRS will consider your unique set of facts and circumstances:
 

  • Ability to pay;
  • Income;
  • Expenses; and
  • Asset equity.

 
The Internal Revenue Service 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.
You should explore all other payment options before submitting an offer in compromise.
Clearly, the Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone.
