IRS Defense

What Is An Offer In Compromise?

Doubt as to collectability

Doubt as to the collectability of a tax debt exists when it appears that the taxpayer could never pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.

In circumstances like these, the IRS may forgive some or all of the tax debt. However, the doubts as to collectability must be proven through evidence.

Doubt as to liability

In other circumstances the taxpayer may claim that he or she was not actually liable for the tax owed.

Essentially, the taxpayer must show that a legitimate doubt exists regarding the amount of assessed tax liability.

A taxpayer may believe that there is a doubt as to the liability when the examiner failed to follow the law, the examiner did not examine all evidence submitted by the taxpayer, or new evidence would change the determination.

Effective tax administration

There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists that would allow the IRS to consider an OIC.

To be eligible for compromise on this basis, a taxpayer must demonstrate that the collection of the tax would create an economic hardship or would be unfair and inequitable.

IRS Installment Agreements

For those who cannot resolve their tax debt through an offer in compromise, an installment agreement can allow a taxpayer to devise a reasonable payment plan option. Installment agreements allow for the full payment of the tax debt in smaller, more manageable amounts.

There are different types of Installment Agreements, which allow you to pay IRS taxes over a series of monthly payments if you cannot pay in full. The most common types of tax installment Agreements handled by Sadek Bankruptcy Law Offices Law Offices are:

Guaranteed installment agreement

This is the most straightforward form of an installment agreement. This form of an installment agreement is reserved for taxpayers owing $10,000.00 or less in unpaid taxes.

Streamlined installment agreement

This form of an installment plan is intended for taxpayers that have tax debt of $25,000.00 or less. It is deemed a streamlined filing because it does not require a comprehensive financial disclosure.

Financially verified installment agreement

Taxpayers who owe greater than $25,000.00 or who are unable to make the minimum monthly payment on a Streamlined Installment Agreement may consider this form of agreement.

Installment agreement over $100,000.00

A tax debt to the IRS that is greater than $100,000.00 requires a longer-term installment agreement. In certain circumstances, the IRS will mandate the sale of at least some  assets to satisfy debt some of your debt as a precondition to an offer.

Partial payment installment agreement

If you are truly unable to pay off your taxes, you can look to apply for a Partial Payment Installment Agreement which will require you to pay less than you owe in full over time, as part of your debt falls of each period due to the Statue of Limitations. This is rarely accepted and requires full financial disclosures.

The above captures the main types of available installment agreements. While rare, in certain circumstances a petition for innocent spouse relief may also relieve tax liability. Innocent tax liability is a form of relief that can protect a spouse who played no part in tax mistakes or fraud from back taxes, penalties, and other punishment.
