I taught the offer in compromise program as a Former IRS agent. I worked out of the local South Florida IRS field offices. FREE CONSULTATIONS
- IRS accepts 20% of all Offers in Compromise filed.
- IRS received 55,000 offers in compromise last year.
- 90% of those accepted offers come from tax professional who know the system.
The Offer in Compromise is a IRS Tax Program that have lead many to thinking I can settle my taxes for ” pennies on a dollar.” While the statement is true many taxpayers are disappointed when IRS sends out a rejection letter.
Just for the record, as a Former IRS Agent who worked offers in compromise, IRS does everything they can to reject offers in compromise.
The Offer in Compromise requires a great deal of skill and knowledge. The Offer on Compromise is worked much like a IRS tax audit. IRS spends no less than 20 hours working the Offer.
IRS has specialists work the Offer in Compromise Program. These specialist are the highest level of IRS personnel training in financial review and analysis.
As a former IRS Agent I have worked hundreds of Offer in Compromise. Sadly, most taxpayer have no clue what they are getting into.
A word to the wise, never submit an offer in compromise without having a full evaluation to see whether you qualify for the program.
By submitting the offer in compromise you are giving the IRS a financial road map to your life and it can become a valuable collection tool if your offer in compromise goes south.
A 433-OIC is required to complete the evaluation.
The basic rules for Offers in Compromise, you must give IRS all your equity in all your assets. IRS will also complete an income analysis to determine monthly payments.
Offer in Compromise – Payment Options
Your initial payment will vary based on your offer and the payment option you choose:
- Submit an initial payment of 20 percent of the total offer amount with your application. Then you can wait for written acceptance, then pay the remaining balance of the offer in five or fewer payments.
- You can submit your initial payment with your application.You can then 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. See your application package for details.
Understand the Offer in Compromise Program and the Process
While your offer in compromise is being evaluated by the IRS;
- 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; and
- Your offer is automatically accepted if the IRS does not make a determination within two years of the IRS receipt date.

Fresh Start Tax LLC A Local South Florida Professional Tax Firm “A” Rated by the Better Business Bureau Since 1982
We are former IRS Supervisors, Managers and Instructors who worked and taught out of the South Florida IRS offices. We have over 60 years work experience at the local IRS and our firm has over 163 years of professional tax experience.
We can get immediate releases of both bank and wage garnishment levies by the IRS.
We are one of South Florida’s oldest, most trusted and experienced professional tax firms.
How we immediately get Notices of Wage Levy and Bank Garnishment Levies Released.
As former IRS Agents, Managers and Instructors we have issued thousands of IRS Wage/Garnishment and Bank Levies. We know exactly how to quickly get them released. We have what it takes.
1. We immediately send a power of attorney to the IRS letting them know we are now your representative. You will never have to speak to them.
2. We will make sure all your tax returns are filed and current. If your tax returns are not up to date, the IRS will refuse to work your case. This is leverage that they use to get you compliant. We can pull tax transcripts, file and prepare your tax returns within days, even if you have lost your tax records.
3. The IRS requires a current financial statement. We will secure a required 433-F (IRS financial statement), verify the income and expenses and work out a settlement agreement. The IRS will require a closing settlement method for each case.
4. We review with our clients how they want to settle their case. We get them an agreement based on their current financial needs.
Settlement agreements can be in different forms:
a. Hardship Settlements. Cases usually go into a 3 year suspended status because of an inability to pay. This is also called currently noncollectable. Your case will go into a hardship status because you do not have the income coming in to meet your current expenses. The IRS will use the National Standards Program to assess hardship.
b. Payment Agreements. Cases can be closed with agreed upon monthly installment payments to the IRS. We will review the different programs the IRS uses for the lowest possible amount required.
c. Offer in Compromise. There are three types of OICs:
The IRS may accept an Offer in Compromise based on three grounds:
1. Doubt as to Collectibility – Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.
2. Doubt as to Liability – A legitimate doubt exists that the assessed tax liability is correct. Possible reasons to submit a doubt as to liability offer include:
(1) the examiner made a mistake interpreting the law,
(2) the examiner failed to consider the taxpayer’s evidence or
(3) the taxpayer has new evidence.
3. Effective Tax Administration – There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists that would allow the IRS to consider an OIC. To be eligible for compromise on this basis, a taxpayer must demonstrate that the collection of the tax would create an economic hardship or would be unfair and inequitable
