While that is true you must be a true qualified candidate for the IRS offer in compromise program to settle back tax debt.
So here is the process to determine how you can dispose of an IRS tax debt.
First and foremost the IRS will require a current financial statement and that is generally on a form 433F or 433A depending on where your cases in the IRS system. You can download the forms on our website.
IRS will expect that financial statement to be documented fully including bank statements, pay stubs, copy of all expenses and any other document that applies in your particular situation. The Internal Revenue Service conducts a mini audit on your financial statement. Since IRS spends so much time reviewing your case using the financial statement we understand the system to put you in the best spotlight with IRS. We spend a lot of time reviewing your financial statement and making adjustments were possible to get you the best result.
Full compliance check.
It is of utmost importance for you to know that the Internal Revenue Service will conduct a full compliance check which means that Internal Revenue Service will make sure all your tax returns are filed, up to date, and you are currently are making estimate payments or have sufficient withholding being taken out in the year you call IRS so you will not incur a problem again. IRS does not like repeat and habitual offenders.

Many people say, well I don’t have sufficient records to prepare my tax returns?
That is not a problem for us, we can pull back IRS transcripts to find out what your income for the past six years and we can reconstruct your tax return based on IRS reconstructive methods and still ensure you pay the lowest amount by law.
There are five general options to close out a tax debt case.
1. You can pay the tax liability in full and if you need a couple of weeks or a couple of months IRS will entertain that and allow you time enough to cut them a check. As a general rule we file a power of attorney, speak to the Internal Revenue Service and let them know of the full payment date.
2. You can make a payment plan.
There are various payment plan options available and when you call our office we will review your current financial statement and walk you through the various programs the internal revenue has to pay them.
Payment plans are based on your current financial statement and your ability to pay. IRS will also take an online payment if you meet and fit the criteria.
3. Your case can be put in a currently not collectible or hardship.
If you have more expenses and income and you live the means test of the national standard program , IRS can temporarily suspend your case. That suspension could last one to three years. IRS will re-review the case in a period of time. The downside to this program is that penalties and interest still run, the upside is that IRS is off your back for a period in season of time.
4. You can file a bankruptcy to help stop and delay IRS.
As a general rule chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 may apply to certain cases. We can review those options with you.
5. The statute of limitations.
IRS has 10 years to collect back taxes from the day your taxes as assessed. The day your taxes assessed means the day IRS puts your tax return onto their computer system for the first time.

You may ask, “Why was my return selected for audit?”
When returns are filed, they are compared against “norms” for similar returns.
The “norms” are developed from audits of a statistically valid random sample of returns. These returns are selected as part of the National Research Program which the IRS & the State conducts to update return selection information.
The return is next reviewed by an experienced auditor.
At this point, the return may be accepted as filed, or if based on the auditor’s experience questionable items are noted, the auditor will identify the items noted and the return is forwarded for assignment to an examining group.
Upon assignment to a group, the return is reviewed by the manager. Items considered in assigning a case are: factors particular to the area such as issues pertaining to construction, farming, timber industry, etc. that have specific factors and rules that apply.
Based on the review, the manager can accept the return or assign the return to an auditor. The assigned auditor again reviews the return for questionable items and either accepts it as filed or contacts the taxpayer to schedule an appointment.

How we immediately get Notices of Bank Levy and Bank Garnishment 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/ Exceptional Circumstances – 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.
