Do I Qualify for an Offer in Compromise in Connecticut?
Tax debts can feel insurmountable, leaving you in search of viable solutions. An Offer in Compromise (OIC) offers a beacon of hope for resolving your tax issues.
In this article, we'll delve into the intricacies of an OIC, examining the eligibility criteria and the invaluable benefits it provides. By the end, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of this powerful tax resolution option and whether you meet the criteria.
What is an Offer in Compromise?
An Offer in Compromise extends a lifeline to those burdened by overwhelming tax liabilities. It serves as an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS, allowing you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. For individuals facing financial hardships, an OIC represents an opportunity to regain control of their financial future.
By demonstrating an inability to pay the full amount or raising valid doubts about the accuracy of the tax liability, you may qualify for this resolution option.
Am I Eligible?
To ascertain your eligibility for an Offer in Compromise, several critical factors come into play:
Ability to Pay:
The IRS thoroughly evaluates your financial situation, considering factors like income, expenses, assets, and future earning potential. This assessment aims to determine your capacity to pay the full tax debt. If it's evident that covering the entire amount would lead to significant financial hardship, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise.
Doubt as to Liability:
If you genuinely dispute the amount of tax owed, you can potentially qualify for an Offer in Compromise based on doubt as to liability. This means you believe the IRS has incorrectly assessed your tax liability and can provide evidence to substantiate your claim.
Doubt as to Collectibility:
When the IRS deems it improbable to collect the full amount owed from you, or believes it would cause financial hardship, they may consider an Offer in Compromise to expedite the resolution. If it can be demonstrated that collecting the full debt is not feasible, you may qualify for this option.
Effective Tax Administration:
In exceptional cases, even if you can afford to pay the full amount, circumstances such as severe health issues or extraordinary financial hardship can warrant an Offer in Compromise. The IRS looks beyond your financial situation to evaluate whether an OIC is necessary to ensure effective tax administration.
