FAQs

When the Internal Revenue Service sends you a notice stating that you owe back taxes, the amount is usually much higher than what you thought because they have tacked on penalties and interest. Of course you could just write a check and pay them the full amount, including penalties and interest. Worse you could just ignore them; meanwhile the penalties and interest keep piling up. Or you could hire my firm, as an Enrolled Agent who is experienced in the matters of back taxes. By analyzing your situation, we can determine your best course of action. For many taxpayers with no ability to pay, this typically leads to an Offer in Compromise.

An Offer in Compromise is an out of court agreement between the IRS and the taxpayer that resolves the taxpayer's liability. The Internal Revenue Service has the authority to settle or compromise federal tax liabilities by accepting less than full payment under certain circumstances. These circumstances are: Doubt as to liability - Doubt exists that the assessed tax is correct. Doubt as to collectibility (most common) - Doubt exists that you could ever pay the full amount of tax owed. Effective tax administration - (i.e., economic hardship)

Depending on the IRS caseload, it generally takes eight to ten months. But no matter how long it takes the Internal Revenue Service to review the Offer in Compromise, during that time all further collection activities are suspended.
