My Offer in compromise was rejected, can I appeal? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.
IRS Offer in Compromise Rejected
Sadly, most of the offers that are filed by the large “offer in compromise mills” were never legitimate Offers. I don’t need to mention any names but if you see them on TV or on the Radio and the person doing the work is in another state or only one state for the whole nation, you should be leery—get a second opinion. Even better call me for your second opinion, FIRST!
Let’s assume you have a valid offer that was filed by someone other than me. Why are you calling me? If you can’t get the company to return your phone calls, or suggest that they file and appeal, it is probably not a valid Offer and the company that filed your Offer knows that. I suggest you file a complaint to the attorney general in the state and get someone else to review your Offer.
Many Offers that were valid when submitted are no longer valid when the time for determination of validity is completed several months later. If that is the case, you are out of luck and you should not file an appeal. However, assuming your Offer is still valid, an appeal should be promptly filed within 30 days of the official rejection letter on IRS Form 13711.
If you Offer was rejected because of a neglect on the part of your representative during the Offer process, it is unlikely the Appeals process will work and a new Offer will have to be submitted.
I don’t want to sound negative but less the truth is less than 5% of the rejected Offers I have reviewed were ever valid—NOT EVEN ON THE DATE THEY WERE SUBMITTED! If this is the case, I will review four other settlement options and together we will decide which one is best for you—THAT WILL WORK!
