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.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Offers in Compromise—General Information

IRS Offer in Compromise Mesa AZ

Here is some general information the IRS Offer in Compromise.  Beyond the basics you are best to consult with a local IRS resolution expert in Arizona.  If you truly cannot afford to pay back the taxes owed, including the interest and penalties, you may be a candidate to apply for an Offer in Compromise.  This IRS settlement option allows you to settle your entire debt for a lesser amount.  This can be done by making short monthly payments or one lump sum.

An Offer in compromise has an advantage over filing a bankruptcy because payroll taxes cannot be eliminated by filing a bankruptcy.  Once your offer has been accepted and you have paid in full the agreed amount, the IRS will remove all tax liens.  The amount that is considered acceptable by the IRS is based on your ability to pay.  Financial statements with proof of all of your personal and business expenses will have to be provided along with bank statements.

Many potential Mesa AZ Offer in Compromise clients qualify for an Offer but the amount considered acceptable to the IRS is more than the taxpayer can pay.  To determine if you are a viable Offer candidate, contact Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Payroll Tax Debt

Payroll taxes are not dischargeable in a bankruptcy and therefore need to be resolved with some other IRS settlement option.  A monthly payment plan will require you to pay the principle, interest and penalties in full or until the statute of limitations runs out which will be 10 years from the date of assessment of the IRS tax debt.  If your monthly payment is very small or the statute of limitations is about to expire or you qualify for a currently not collectible status you may want to selection one of these options versus an IRS Offer in Compromise.  The Offer program may be the best option if none of the above apply to you.

The Offer program is a lengthy process that will require you to stay in compliance during and after you have been approved and made the required payment.  Few taxpayers understand the process and how to keep their Offer from being disallowed.  Scott Allen E.A. in Mesa AZ provides a free initial consultation and can walk you through all the steps needed to select the right settlement option.  You can reach Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Offer in Compromise—Big Warning !

Let’s start out with a big warning. Very few taxpayers qualify to do an IRS Offer in Compromise. Most cannot afford the amount of the Offer the IRS will accept. If you are told by a IRS resolution professional that you qualify for an Offer in Compromise get a second opinion. This is especially true if you are talking with an out of state company that often make promises they cannot keep. Get your second opinion locally here in Arizona. You will probably find out that you do not qualify for the Offer amount you were first told and you will likely feel better about using a local company as well.
Scott Allen E.A. of Mesa AZ is the right choice to get your correct determination if you qualify for an Offer and the amount you would qualify for. Often the Offer in Compromise option is not the best settlement option. Before you leap into a commitment financially, call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 and schedule a free initial consultation. You will quickly know you have made the right decision during your first appointment.

Is the IRS Still Accepting Offers in Compromise?

Yes, but…  The bad news is that over the last two decades the numbers of offers being accepted has been in decline.  The good news is that a higher percentage of offers applied for are being accepted.  Why?  Many tax payers and companies representing tax payers filed offers that were outside of the rules.  Most of the companies filing frivolous offers have gone out of business and left their clients stranded and in much deeper trouble with the IRS.  Avoid companies outside of your area that you cannot meet face to face.  They make promises they cannot keep.  Avoid being taken because they tell you what you want to hear.  The following is an action list that must be kept to get acceptance of your offer:
  • Make sure you can file and pay on time.  This means having enough withholdings if you are an employee or making estimated tax payments.  Prepare your return in February to give you time to come up with any amount due by April 15 and avoid filing extensions.  All past returns must be filed to be included in the offer.
  • Consider using a Mesa AZ tax professional to help you through the paperwork maze.  Even small errors will cost you big time—by having your offer rejected or having the IRS counter your offer with a much higher amount to pay.  The IRS will require proof of all expense tems included in your financial statements.
  • Consider all of your settlement options before filing an Offer.  Many times the best settlement option is not an Offer.  This is another reason to have a tax professional in Mesa AZ on your side.
  • When the IRS requests additional information, respond promptly.  Any delay will increase the chances that your offer will be rejected, lost or transferred to another IRS employee.
Tax Debt Advisors, Inc of Mesa Arizona offers a free initial consultation to discuss your potential Offer in Compromise or other tax matters.

Successful IRS Offer in Compromise requires professional assistance from Tax Debt Advisors

Gilbert AZ Offer in Compromise

A Gilbert AZ Offer in Compromise is a challenging process.  Most successful Offers require professional assistance.  Not because the forms are that difficult but due to the time and attention it takes to keep your Offer flowing through the IRS system.  Most rejected Offers are lost in the process or when transferred to the next person assigned to your case.  The other problem is that so many Offers are rejected due to errors or incomplete information that it is easier for the IRS to find something wrong with your Offer and reject it than to process the paper work.  When the IRS does contact the taxpayer for information, the deadlines are very tight to respond.  Any deadline missed will result in a rejected Offer.

Tax Debt Advisors near Gilbert Arizona has the experience and expertise to monitor your Gilbert AZ Offer in Compromise from start to finish.  If you would like a free Gilbert AZ initial consultation regarding an Offer in Compromise, call 480-926-9300 today.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.—Offer in Compromise Facts

Avondale AZ IRS Offer in Compromise Facts

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) allows Avondale AZ taxpayers to settle their tax debt including interest and penalties for less than the amount owed under certain circumstances.  If there is no way you are going to pay the tax debt owed or the IRS liability creates a financial hardship the IRS will consider a lower payback amount.  The IRS takes into consideration your ability to pay, your income and necessary living expenses and any equity you have in assets.

The IRS must be convinced that the government is better off accepting a lower amount than trying to collect the full debt over the remaining statute of limitations.  Not everyone in Avondale AZ qualifies for an OIC or the OIC amount is higher than what the taxpayer can afford.  All taxpayers should consider all other available settlement options before selecting an OIC.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has been representing taxpayers before the IRS on all settlement options including OIC.  If you are interested in a free consultation, call 480-926-9300 to schedule an appointment.
