From the very first phone conversation I was treated as if my case was the only case that existed and was the most important thing in the world. Where I felt unsure and fear, they assured me that I had their support and they would fight until the end, which they did.

How Hard is it to Get an Offer in Compromise with the IRS?
Only about 40% of the Offers in Compromise submitted to the IRS are eventually accepted. Most OIC offers are rejected on the first attempt due to technical errors in the paperwork.
If this happens, a case can appeal the rejection within 30 days of receiving the rejection notice.
Who Qualifies for an IRS Offer in Compromise?
Generally, the IRS will accept an OIC when the amount offered represents the most that they can reasonably expect to collect within the statute of limitations or some reasonable time frame.
If you have the ability to pay the amount owed through other means such as installment agreements, you will not be accepted for an OIC.

Important Points to Consider Before Filing an IRS Offer in Compromise
- To begin the Offer in Compromise process, you must be current with all your tax return filing requirements. If you have not filed your current year’s return, the IRS will consider your account up to date if a valid extension was filed. Additionally, you must be current with all required estimated tax payments or have sufficient withholding. If you are an employer, you must have your tax deposits for both the current and past two payroll quarters before filing.
- An application fee must be paid with the submission of the application, unless you qualify under the provisions available for “low income” taxpayers, generally defined as someone whose income falls below poverty levels. Low income certification is included in the application process.
- If you have already initiated bankruptcy proceedings you would not be eligible for an Offer in Compromise, although you may be able to settle your tax debt through the bankruptcy court.
- The statute of limitations on collection is extended by the period it takes for the IRS to consider your offer.
- OICs are not available for tax years or tax periods that have not been assessed.
- To apply for an Offer in Compromise you are required to provide extensive and detailed personal and financial information to the IRS by completing a Collection Information Statement.

Offer in Compromise FAQ’s

Does an IRS offer in compromise hurt your credit?
After an offer in compromise is complete, the IRS will release all tax liens filed against you. This should improve your credit score.
Do you provide state tax relief services as well as IRS tax help?
Tax relief options vary from state to state. TaxAudit licensed tax professionals are qualified to help you with tax resolution in every state.
How long does it take to get a decision on an offer in compromise?
