Settling Back IRS Tax Debt
There are different ways to settle IRS tax debt and there are generally three programs that the taxpayer can qualify for.
The first is a hardship or currently non-collectible program.
There are good news and bad news about this program. After IRS takes a current documented financial statement, IRS may determine you are not collectible at the current time. IRS will suspend your case for a period of 1 to 3 years and put a freeze on it.
The good news is IRS’s off your back for a couple of years and the bad news is penalties and interest still run on it. With that said, your case will come out for financial review in a couple of years later.
The second program is the installment agreement or monthly payment. After IRS takes a current financial statement they will determine how much money they expect from you on a monthly basis.
The third way to sell your debt is to qualify for an offer in compromise, this is where you can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar.
After a review of your current financial statement, we will let you know which of the program to qualify for and start to remove IRS out of your life.

I am a former IRS agent and teaching instructor of the offer in compromise.
I both worked the offers in compromise and accepted offers in compromise for the Internal Revenue Service.
FACTS:
IRS works around 70,000 offers a year and accepts approximately 32,000 offers in compromise for average settlement of $9500 per offer.
These figures are misleading because this is the national average.
The acceptance of an offer in compromise depends solely on the financial statement, documentation, and the collectibility that the United States government feels they can collect over the life of the statute from a taxpayer.
Offers in compromise are time-consuming and more complex than people think.
The Internal Revenue Service actually audits the financial statement. IRS spends a lot of due diligence on offers in compromise and one of the reasons for that is all excepted offers in compromise become public record for 18 months at certain regional tax offices for public inspection.
If you are contemplating filing an offer in compromise you must learn the standards, and the rules before submitting it. I also caution all taxpayers to walk through the prequalifier tool to make sure they are a qualified candidate.
One of the cardinal rules for the offer in compromise is that you must offer to Internal Revenue Service your total liquidity in your assets. Real estate is discounted by 20%.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me I will review your offer for free and make recommendations
Beginning with Offer applications received on or after March 27, 2017:
The IRS will return any newly filed Offer in Compromise application if you have not filed all required tax returns. Any application fee included with the OIC will also be returned. Any initial payment required with the returned application will be applied to reduce your balance due. This policy does not apply to current year tax returns if there is a valid extension on file.
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.
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.
Make sure you are eligible.
Before IRS can consider your offer, you must be current with all filing and payment requirements.
You are not eligible if you are in an open bankruptcy proceeding. Use the Offer in Compromise Pre-Qualifier to confirm your eligibility and prepare a preliminary proposal.
Submit your offer
You’ll find step-by-step instructions and all the forms for submitting an offer in the Offer in Compromise Booklet, Form 656-B (PDF).
Your completed offer package will include:
Form 433-A (OIC) (individuals) or 433-B (OIC) (businesses) and all required documentation as specified on the forms;
Form 656(s) – individual and business tax debt (Corporation/ LLC/ Partnership) must be submitted on separate Form 656;
$186 application fee (non-refundable); and
Initial payment (non-refundable) for each Form 656.
Select a payment option
Your initial payment will vary based on your offer and the payment option you choose:
Lump Sum Cash:
Submit an initial payment of 20 percent of the total offer amount with your application. If your offer is accepted, you will receive written confirmation. Any remaining balance due on the offer is paid in five or fewer payments.
Periodic Payment:
Submit your initial payment with your application. Continue to pay the remaining balance in monthly installments while the IRS considers your offer. If accepted, continue to pay monthly until it is paid in full.
If you meet the Low Income Certification guidelines, you do not have to send the application fee or the initial payment and you will not need to make monthly installments during the evaluation of your offer. See your application package for details.
Understand the process
While your offer is being evaluated:
Your non-refundable payments and fees will be applied to the tax liability (you may designate payments to a specific tax year and tax debt);
A Notice of Federal Tax Lien may be filed;
Other collection activities are suspended;
The legal assessment and collection period is extended;
Make all required payments associated with your offer;
You are not required to make payments on an existing installment agreement; and
Your offer is automatically accepted if the IRS does not make a determination within two years of the IRS receipt date.
If your offer is accepted
You must meet all the Offer Terms listed in Section 7 of Form 656, including filing all required tax returns and making all payments;
Any refunds due within the calendar year in which your offer is accepted will be applied to your tax debt;
Federal tax liens are not released until your offer terms are satisfied; and
Certain offer information is available for public review by requesting a copy of a public inspection file.
If your offer is rejected
You may appeal a rejection within 30 days using Request for Appeal of Offer in Compromise, Form 13711 (PDF).
The online self-help tool may provide additional assistance on appealing your rejected offer.

At the end of the day, many taxpayers feel they have things to hide her skeletons in their closet and an IRS auditor with the spyglass is going on cover some financial secret goings on in the lives of taxpayers.
While this is true it’s important to remember that IRS is just questioning things about your tax return that seem to be out-of-place and not normal.
IRS has what’s called the DIF grading system scoring system that generally determines what tax returns will be pulled for audits. DIF stands for discriminatory index function. That is the number one source of why tax returns are pulled for a tax audit.

The benefits of using former IRS agents is very simple.

We can also go to appeals if necessary and defend you through the entire IRS audit process.

The IRS Audit:
IRS starts all audits with basic information and items they are looking for.
Agents have the ability to dig further if they find discrepancies or start sniffing with audit trails that can lead other places.
The problems with an IRS audit is IRS can be asking for one year and decide to go back two years or maybe for a year so the general taxpayer has no idea where this audit is going to end up. Many times a tax professional can prevent this.
One of the big tips I can tell taxpayers going into a tax audit yes have everything neat and organized. If you don’t have some of the records put a package together reconstruction that is believable. even though you don’t have your tax records you are allowed to reconstruct.
Being a former IRS agent I can tell you the best thing you can do if you have any skeletons in your closet whatsoever is turn this over to a tax professional.
If your tax records are clean you should do this yourself and save the money but if anything whatsoever is hidden, or you don’t want to be discovered you better hire someone who has plenty of IRS experience.

IRS Policy Statement 5-133 for unfiled tax returns. This is a very important policy statement.
Delinquent returns—enforcement of filing requirements
Taxpayers failing to file tax returns due will be requested to prepare and file all such returns except in instances where there is an indication that the taxpayer’s failure to file the required return or returns was willful or if there is any other indication of fraud.
All delinquent returns submitted by a taxpayer, whether upon his/her own initiative or at the request of a Service representative, will be accepted.
However, if indications of wilfulness or fraud exist, the special procedures for handling such returns must be followed.
Where it is determined that required returns have not been filed, the extent to which compliance for prior years will be enforced will be determined by reference to factors ensuring compliance and evenhanded administration of staffing and other Service resources.
Factors to be taken into account include, but are not limited to:
Normally, application of the above criteria will result in enforcement of delinquency procedures for not more than six (6) years.
Enforcement beyond such period will not be undertaken without prior managerial approval.
Also, if delinquency procedures are not to be enforced for the full six-year period of delinquency, prior managerial approval must be secured.
PLEASE BEWARE, IRS CAN FILE FOR YOU. And this is very bad news.
When IRS files your tax return you will pay the highest amount allowed by law.

Options for Settling IRS Tax Debt
There are three basic ways that taxpayers settle their current tax situation for back taxes with the Internal Revenue Service.
There are different ways to settle IRS tax debt and there are generally three programs that the taxpayer can qualify for.
The first is a hardship or currently non-collectible program.
There is good news and bad news about this program.

The third way to sell your debt is to qualify for an offer in compromise, this is where you can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar. it’s important for taxpayers to understand that not all are eligible for the offer in compromise program.
