Dealing with overwhelming tax debt can feel impossible, but there’s a way to settle for less than what you owe. The IRS’s Offer in Compromise (OIC) program is designed to help eligible taxpayers pay a reduced amount and move forward financially.
How Does an Offer in Compromise Work?
The IRS evaluates each OIC application individually, considering factors such as:
- Your income and expenses – Can you realistically afford to pay your full tax debt?
- Your assets – If selling assets or using savings isn’t an option, you may qualify.
- Your financial hardship – If paying the full amount would cause severe financial difficulties, an OIC may be accepted.
The Benefits of an Offer in Compromise
- Reduce your tax burden and settle for less.
- Stop collection actions like wage garnishments and bank levies.
- Avoid further penalties and interest from accumulating.
Why Professional Help Matters
Getting an Offer in Compromise approved is not easy—the IRS has strict guidelines and rejects most applications due to errors or lack of documentation. A tax relief expert can help:
- Evaluate whether you qualify before applying.
- Prepare a strong case with accurate financial documentation.
- Negotiate with the IRS to increase your chances of approval.
