Former IRS Agents, since 1982. Former IRS OIC Specialist. The experience Tax firm.
We are composed of former IRS agents and managers who were former employees of the Internal Revenue Service. We know the system.

Due to the IRS new fresh start initiative set out by the Internal Revenue Service many more taxpayers are eligible for the tax debt settlement.
Always remember you must be a true and qualified candidate.
As a former IRS agent, I would let all individuals who are trying to settle their debt on the own to understand that this is a long process.
Before a taxpayer or client thinks about the filing of an offer in compromise they should check out the IRS offer in compromise pre-qualifier tool first. You can walk to the pre-qualifier tool on our site or call us today to learn more about it.
We will not file an offer in compromise or accept any fee for any client unless we know they are qualified for the program.
So if we send in your offer in compromise, you probably do have a pretty good chance of getting it accepted.
It is important to know you will that all back tax returns will have to be filed, up-to-date and current on the IRS computer system before the Internal Revenue Service will accept an offer in compromise.
IRS Statistics
Last year there were 78,000 offers in compromise were filed with the Internal Revenue Service, 38% of those were accepted for an average of $6500 per case.
Keep in mind this is a national average and varies from case to case is completely dependent on your current financial statement.
About 20% of all offers in compromise go to the Appellate Division for settlement.
You should know that not everyone is an offer in compromise candidate to settle their tax debt.
Make sure you are eligible for the OIC.
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.
Submitting your offer or OIC to the Internal Revenue Service.
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;

• $186 application fee (non-refundable); and
• Initial payment (non-refundable) for each Form 656.
Selecting a payment option for the offer in compromise program
Your initial payment will vary based on your offer and the payment option you choose:
• IRS Lump Sum Cash:
Submit an initial payment of 20 percent of the total offer amount with your application. Wait for written acceptance, then pay the remaining balance of the offer in five or fewer payments.
• IRS 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, you must continue to pay monthly until it is paid in full.
While your offer in compromise 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;

IRS does a thorough review of your financial statement therefore you want to make sure you are both honest and accurate. IRS has the ability to go back as far as they want for their financial review. 3 to 6 months is a general indicator of IRS’s review process.
As a general rule, IRS will not release your levy until all your tax returns are filed.

There are two ways you can take deductions: you can itemize deductions or use the standard deduction.
Deductions reduce the amount of your taxable income.
The standard deduction amount varies depending on your income, age and filing status, and changes each year.
Certain taxpayers cannot use the standard deduction:
• A married individual filing as married filing separately whose spouse itemizes deductions.
• An individual who files a tax return for a period of less than 12 months because of a change in his or her annual accounting period.
• An individual who was a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien during the year.
Nonresident aliens who are married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of the year and who choose to be treated as U.S. residents for tax purposes can take the standard deduction. For additional information, refer to Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.
• An estate or trust, common trust fund, and partnership; see Code Section 63(c)(6)(D) at Law.cornell.edu.
You should itemize deductions if your allowable itemized deductions are greater than your standard deduction or if you must itemize deductions because you cannot use the standard deduction.
You may be able to reduce your tax by itemizing deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF).
Itemized deductions include amounts you paid for state and local income or sales taxes, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage interest, and disaster losses.
You may also include gifts to charity and part of the amount you paid for medical and dental expenses.
You would usually benefit by itemizing on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF), Itemized Deductions, if you:
• Cannot use the standard deduction
• Had large uninsured medical and dental expenses
• Paid interest or taxes on your home
• Had large unreimbursed employee business expenses
• Had large uninsured casualty or theft losses, or
• Made large charitable contributions
Your itemized deductions may be limited and your total itemized deductions may be phased out (reduced) if your adjusted gross income for 2014 exceeds the following threshold amounts for your filing status:
• Single – $254,200
• Married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er) – $305,050
• Married filing separately – $152,525
• Head of household – $279,650
