Tax attorneys have extensive expertise with
planning, preparing, and negotiating Offers in Compromise. Internal
Revenue Code authorizes the IRS, to accept less than full amount of
tax liability owed in any civil or criminal case arising under the
tax laws prior to the case's referral to the Department of Justice.
For an Offer in Compromise to be accepted, the taxpayer must
establish to the satisfaction of the IRS that the taxpayer either:
has no means of paying the tax, or does not actually owe the tax.
Prior to 1992 the IRS has been reluctant to settle tax liabilities.
In February of 1992, the IRS announced new procedures for settling
back taxes. The new procedures greatly liberalized the Offer in
Compromise process and increased the likelihood that financially
distressed taxpayers would be able to settle their liabilities for
less than the full amount.
The IRS will accept an Offer in Compromise when it is unlikely that
the tax liability can be collected in full and the amount of the
Offer in Compromise reasonably reflects collection potential.
An Offer in Compromise is a legitimate alternative to declaring a
case as currently not collectible, or to a protracted installment
agreement. The goal is to achieve collection of what is potentially
collectible at the earliest possible time and at the least cost to
the government.
