How do you discern Christian godly counsel?
Psalm 37:30
The godly offer good counsel, they know what is right from wrong.
Proverbs 18:2
Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to offer their own opinions.
Proverbs 27:9
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume.
Settle Tax Debt through the Offer in Compromise
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.
The Internal Revenue Service will consider your unique set of facts and circumstances such as your:
1. Ability to pay;
2. Income;
3. Expenses; and
4. Asset equity.
The federal government, 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.
The Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone.
Make sure you are eligible before you File to Settle Tax Debt
Before the Internal Revenue Service 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.
New Pre-Qualifier Tool
There is now a new pre-qualifier tool put out by the Internal Revenue Service to find out if you can settle your tax debt through the offer in compromise.
You can find that form on our website under IRS forms. You do not want to file for a tax debt settlement and less you know you are a suitable and qualified candidate.
As a former IRS agent, it is not in any taxpayer’s best interest to attempt to settle their tax debt on their own.
There is much financial minutia and maneuvering involved and I can tell you this firsthand because I taught the tax debt settlement practice at the Internal Revenue Service. If you want to get your offer in compromise to settle your tax debt through, it is only in your best interest to hire a professional Christian Firm.
The average wait time currently is 6 to 9 months before the offer in compromise is completely processed and accepted before the Internal Revenue Service.
Last year 58,000 offers in compromises were accepted and the acceptance rate is 38%
Submit your offer in compromise to settle a tax debt
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;
- $150 application fee (non-refundable); and
- Initial payment (non-refundable) for each Form 656.
Select a payment option to Settle a Tax Debt
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. Wait for written acceptance, then pay the remaining balance of the offer 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.
Understand the process of a Tax Debt Settlement
While your offer/settlement 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.

Why Are Taxpayers and Businesses Audited by the State of Florida, Department of Revenue:
You
The state of Florida Department of revenue audits taxpayers for four major reasons:
1. Enforce Florida tax laws uniformly,
2. Deter tax evasion,
3. Promote voluntary compliance,
4. Educate taxpayers.
The Non-Filer Program
One of the chief priorities with the state of Florida Department of revenue is to go after those individuals and businesses who have failed to pay sales tax. With Florida being such a transient area and businesses opening up in closing the state of Florida launches new programs and every fiscal year to go after non-filers and to close the tax gap that exists.
The state launches several programs every year to sales tax cheats and to attempt to launch criminal investigations against those individuals and businesses who fail to pay over sales tax that have been collected. If you have not filed your past due tax returns is in your best interest to contact us today to get you back in the program.
The State of Florida excepts most tax returns as accurate.
The state of Florida accepts most tax returns as filed, they audit some returns to verify accuracy and evaluate compliance.
Sales and Use Tax Audits do not always result in the taxpayer owing additional tax, penalty or interest.
The State tax auditor may adjust a credit carryover or correct distribution without assessing additional tax.
Why are Taxpayers Selected for State Tax Audit?
Audit Methods
The methods for selecting a business or individual to audit vary from tax to tax. Here are some examples of sources we use to identify a potential audit candidate:
- Internal Revenue Service information.
- Information sharing programs with other states and state agencies.
- Computer-based random selection.
- Analysis of Florida tax return information.
- Business publications, periodicals, journals, and directories.
Types of Records You will Need to Provide for the Sales Tax Audit
When the State of Florida notifies you of our intent to audit, they will also tell you what records you will need to provide.
The types of records may include, but are not limited to:
1. General ledgers and journals
2. Cash receipt and disbursement journals
3. Purchase and sales journals
4. Sales tax exemption or resale certificates
5. Florida tax returns
6. Federal tax returns
7. Depreciation schedules
8. Property records
9. Other documentation to verify amounts entered on tax returns.
Record Keeping Requirement
You must keep your records for three years since an audit can extend back that far.
The State of Florida Department of Revenue may audit for periods longer than three years if you did not file, or filed a substantially incorrect return or payment.
Yes, you have taxpayers Rights During an Sales Tax Audits ?
The Florida Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights provides protection for taxpayers’ privacy and assets during their interactions with Revenue employees.
Your rights include:
1. The right to fair treatment.
2. The right to get available information and prompt, accurate responses to your questions.
3. The right to have the Department begin and complete its audit in a timely manner after we notify you of our intent to audit.
4. The right to get simple, nontechnical statements which explain the reason for audit selection and the procedures, remedies, and rights available during audit, appeals, and collection proceedings.
If you do this yourself, Can you Request Technical Assistance During the Audit?
When there are transactions or issues for which the tax consequences are questionable, you may ask for a written statement of our position any time during the audit. Our office of Technical Assistance and Dispute Resolution will issue a Technical Assistance Advisement (TAA), which is binding on the Department. For more information, read “Requesting Advice During an Audit.”
We encourage you to use our Tax Law Library to research the issue before requesting technical assistance.
What Happens When the Sales Tax Audit is Complete?
After your Sales Tax audit is complete, you can review the audit findings and proposed changes to your tax liability. The auditor will give you a copy of the work papers and explain your rights, including deadlines for filing protests.
If you agree
If you agree with the audit findings, we expect you to pay the amount due in full. If you cannot pay in full we can work payment plans or installment arrangements out with the state of Florida sales tax division. You have the right to protest the proposed changes if you disagree with them.
Florida’s voluntary disclosure program
Florida’s voluntary disclosure program allows a taxpayer to report previously unpaid or underpaid tax liabilities for any tax administered by the Department of Revenue.
It is the taxpayer’s opportunity to voluntarily pay these taxes without being penalized.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who has any tax liability for a tax administered by the Florida Department of Revenue and who has not been previously contacted by the Department concerning the liability.
Disclosures relating to delinquencies or deficiencies that are obvious and would routinely generate a billing if not otherwise self-disclosed are not eligible for the program.
What are the benefits to the taxpayer?
When the tax and interest liabilities have been paid, all penalties will be waived unless tax has been collected and not remitted. In those instances, a five percent penalty will be imposed, unless reasonable cause is presented.
How far back will Sales Tax Agents look?
Three years immediately preceding the postmark date of the voluntary disclosure request. Failure to take advantage of this program could result in the Department holding the taxpayer liable for the applicable (longer) limitation periods of the relevant taxes.
What taxes are eligible?
All taxes administered by the Department of Revenue are eligible, including (but not limited to):
- Governmental leasehold intangible personal property tax,
- Gross receipts tax on utility services,
- Insurance premium taxes, surcharges, and fees.
- Local option tourist development taxes administered by Department of Revenue,
- Motor vehicle warranty fee (“lemon law).
