The new IRS settlement program called the fresh start initiative

An new IRS offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe.
It may and could be a legitimate tax option if you can’t pay your full tax liability, or doing so creates a financial hardship.
The Internal Revenue Service considers your unique set of facts and circumstances before accepting a IRS Settlement. they will consider,
a.    Ability to pay,
b.    Income;
c.    Expenses and
d.    Asset and equity.
 

 Approvals of offers and compromise



We generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.
IRS will explore all other payment options before accepting an offer in compromise. The Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone.
If you hire a tax professional to help you file an offer, be sure to check his or her qualifications.
Make sure you are eligible by having a tax professional qualify your case before submission to the IRS.
