Lefstein-Suchoff CPA & Associates, LLC has a proven track record of getting our Client’s Offers in Compromise accepted and thereby saving our clients thousands of dollars.
If, on the other hand, we believe that filing an Offer in Compromise will simply waste your time and resources, we will discuss in detail, other resolution strategies to minimize and fully resolve your tax liability. In some instances we may suggest a combination of resolution strategies to resolve the liability in question, so time and energy are not wasted, thereby increasing additional penalties and interest.
Below, we have provided some information regarding the OIC process:
The IRS may compromise the tax liability in most civil or criminal cases before referral to the Department of Justice for prosecution or defense. The Attorney General or a delegate may compromise any case after the referral. Interest and penalties, as well as tax, may be compromised. Offers-in-Compromise are submitted on Form 656 accompanied by a financial statement on Form 433-A for an individual or Form 433-B for business (if economic hardship may also apply to an offer-in-compromise by submitting form 656).
If the IRS accepts an offer-in-compromise, the payment is allocated among tax and penalties owed; the payments will be applied to tax, penalties, and interest, in that order, beginning with the earliest year. If the IRS agrees to an amount that does not exceed the combined tax and penalties, and there is no agreement regarding allocation of the payment, no amount will allocated to interest.
A $150 user fee is required for many offers-in-compromise. Taxpayers must normally pay the user fee at the time a request to compromise is submitted. No user fee is imposed with respect to offers:
1. That are based solely on doubt as to liability, or
2. That are made by low-income taxpayers (i.e., taxpayers whose total monthly income falls at or below income levels based on the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines).
