The IRS Offer in Compromise, How to Settle Your IRS Tax Debt

An offer in compromise/IRS Tax Settlement 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.

The IRS will and can consider:

 

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

 

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

The Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone. Let us pre-qualify you.
