Mesa AZ IRS offer in compromise forms

The two most common Mesa AZ IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC) forms are the 433-A for individuals and 433-B for businesses.  There is also a $150 non-refundable application fee and a non-refundable initial payment.  You will also have to decide on a payment option.  There are two payment options:

Lump Sum Cash: Initial payment must be 20% of the total OIC amount.  After acceptance the remaining balance must be paid in five or fewer payments.

Periodic Payment: Initial payment must be 20% of the total OIC amount and continue to pay the remaining balance in monthly installments while the IRS considers your offer.  If your OIC is accepted, monthly payments need to be maintained until the agreed amount is paid in full.

If you meet the Low Income Certification guidelines, you are not required to send in the $150 application fee or the initial 20% payment or monthly installments during the evaluation period.

10 Proverbs to remember if you need to Solve your IRS Debt in Mesa AZ

Proverbs reflect the accumulated wisdom, prejudices and superstitions of the human race.  Even though they come from many different lands and cultures, the ideas they express are common to all people.  We should at least be familiar with them so that when someone uses one, we will know what they are talking about.

  • Absence makes the heart grow fonder—Persons, places, or things become dearer to us when they are absent.
  • Actions speak louder than words—People are more impressed with our sincerity if we act on our beliefs than if we merely talk about them.
  • All for one and one for all—All the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members are pledged to support the group.  This is best known as the motto for the three musketeers.
  • All that glitters is not gold—Things that appear on the surface to be of great value may be quite worthless.
  • All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy—A person who never takes time off from work becomes boring and bored.
  • All’s fair in love and war—People in love and soldiers in wartime are not bound by the rules of fair play.
  • All’s well that ends well—Problems that occur along the way do not matter as long as the outcome is good.
  • Any port in a storm—In an emergency, we will accept help from any source and in any place, even from an unpleasant person.
  • Army marches on its stomach, An—To be effective, an army relies on good and plentiful food.  This saying is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
  • Bad news travels fast—People are quick to discuss the misfortunes of others.
Why did I bother to share these proverbs with you?  How does this relate to solving your Mesa AZ IRS debt?  I believe that solving and IRS debt in Mesa AZ is more then just filling out forms and making phone calls.  A Mesa AZ IRS debt that needs to be solved occurs because something non related becomes such a big burden that the last things a taxpayers wants to face is paying the IRS or filing a tax return.  Once we can help our clients discover what that is then we can begin to successfully solve their Mesa AZ IRS debt and not have it reoccur again.  The favorite part of my job is seeing the relief in my clients eyes and the smile on their face when we have accomplished the victory.  To learn more about solving your IRS debt in Mesa AZ visit the main part of my website or feel free to give me a call to schedule a free initial consultation.

Phoenix’s Tax Debt Advisors—IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC) Details

If there is no way you could ever pay off the IRS during the remaining statute of limitation period, the IRS will allow, under certain conditions, a settlement for less than you owe.  The IRS knows they have to be careful to not encourage taxpayers that file and full pay on time each year to try to pay less by not paying and filing an Offer in Compromise in Phoenix AZ.  Our experience has been that taxpayers who file and full pay each year are much better off in their personal lives than those who qualify for an OIC. Phoenix AZ Offer in Compromise candidates have had some pretty amazing challenges that got them into trouble with the IRS.  It just isn’t a tax protest mentality that qualified them—if that were the case the IRS would reject flat out an Offer in Compromise Phoenix AZ application.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. cautions you on the “Pennies on the Dollar” IRS Advertisements

Although it is rare to hear or read about “Pennies on the Dollar” settlements with the IRS anymore, they still exist.  The reason is that phrase was used by predators taking money and advantage of vulnerable Mesa AZ taxpayers looking for an escape from their IRS tax debt.  Another reason is that most of these predator companies are out of business.  The few that still lure unsuspecting taxpayers in Mesa AZ with pennies on the dollar promises are employees of these defunct companies still trying to take advantage of taxpayers.  If you received a phone call from a company not in your area—out of state—you are best to hang up and find someone local who has been in business for a significant time and who you can meet with face to face.

Tax Debt Advisors help—What is an Offer in Compromise?

Tempe AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an offer to pay less than what you owe to the IRS and receive a complete settlement of all past tax debts, including interest and penalties.  The OIC program is only one of several ways to settle your Tempe AZ tax debt for less than what you owe.  IRS Form 656 and Form 433-A are the OIC accepted forms for individuals.  IRS Form 433-A Worksheet calculates the amount that needs to be offered.  The terms and conditions of the OIC include filing and paying on time your taxes for the next five years.  If you cannot file your individual tax return (1040) by April 15, you must request an automatic extension and file and full pay by the extension deadline.  The IRS approves only a small percentage of the offers submitted.  In 2004 only 16% of the OIC’s were accepted.  In 2010 the percentage was 24%.

It is a big mistake to file an OIC unless you are fairly certain you will have acceptance.  Interest and penalties continue to accrue as well as the statute of limitations.  If it takes the IRS 2 years to reject you OIC, you will come out of the process in much worse shape than when you submitted your OIC.

Tax Debt Advisors is next doors to Tempe AZ and has the experience to properly calculate and submit an OIC with a high degree of success.  Tax Debt Advisors has been assisting clients on Tempe AZ IRS problems for over 45 years.
