The offer in compromise even though it looks simple on the outside is a very complex procedure within the ranks of Internal Revenue Service.
Each offer in compromise if accepted is open for public inspection at local district and regional IRS offices. IRS must keep accepted offers in compromise on file for one year for full public inspection.
Because of this, the IRS is painstakingly looks over, reviews and manages offers far beyond what the public may think. The offer in compromise not only must get the agent approval, it must get approval from the Agents the direct manager , it must get approval from the area director, then it goes to IRS District Counsel for final review and approval to make sure it meets all criteria and legal qualifications for settlement.
Most people have their offer rejected simply because they’re unfamiliar with the detailed process of acceptance. The revenue officer working the offer will spend between 20 and 30 hours working the case alone.

IRS must give you a written explanation if your offer is not accepted.
The IRS usually rejects offers in compromise for one of two reasons:
1. The offer is too low,
2. The IRS felt like they could collect more money over the life or period of the statute.
If the offer in compromise was too low, the IRS letter will state what amount is acceptable to accept. IRS will generally send you the report of all the figures and reason for the rejection. Once you find out the issues the IRS is having, you can have the opportunity to correct the facts or figures that you feel the IRS applied incorrectly. If you can fix the problem at this level, this is one of the best opportunities to resolve the problem.
Remember if you are unsuccessful at this level you can always file another offer in compromise at a later time.
You can always resubmit your offer in compromise.

You could resubmit your offer in compromise as many times as you wish.

My guess is that 50% of all offers in compromise that are resubmitted to Internal Revenue Service have a much higher acceptance rate simply because the taxpayers or their representatives know exactly how to approach the Internal Revenue Service. So learn from the mistakes of your first offer in compromise
So don’t be dismayed if your first offer in compromise fails you have as many chances as you wish to resubmit your offer in compromise.
