What is an IRS offer in compromise?
It settles your tax liability for less than the total amount owed, provided you can prove you can’t pay. Depending on how much you can afford, you can pay “Pennies on the Dollar Owed” in taxes.
If done correctly, this option could save you enormous money and is the best strategy for most taxpayers. You should take extreme caution. You should hire a professional with knowledge of the IRS’ procedures.
This professional should determine the least amount the IRS will accept from you. If the Offer is not submitted correctly, it will be rejected, or you may be required to pay more than is necessary.
An Offer in Compromise may save you a LARGE amount of money. Do you know that the IRS only has a limited time to collect your back taxes?
Let a Professional Tax Attorney determine when the IRS’ time limit to collect taxes runs out.
In most cases, the IRS has only a limited time to collect unpaid taxes. You must CAREFULLY evaluate precisely when that period will run out.
Your troubles may be solved. Moreover: If the IRS’ time has run out, or if it will run out soon, your troubles may be over.
Delaying tactics may be used to stall the IRS while their time runs out. Once the IRS is out of time, they MUST stop ALL collection action against you.
The IRS MUST release all property liens
TAX RETURNS – FAILURE TO FILE
Many people fail to file Individual Income Tax Returns for various reasons. Some reasons are innocent, although the most common is that people can’t afford to pay taxes.
When this happens, it becomes difficult to get back into the system. “I filed for 1998. I couldn’t pay for 2000, so I did not file. Then I was afraid to file for 2001. I haven’t filed since then. What can I do now?”
You commit a criminal offense if you do not file Income Tax Returns. However, no one who has voluntarily filed returns before being caught has ever been criminally prosecuted. That is the first key: filing BEFORE they catch you.
IRS Penalties
Some IRS penalties can be as high as 100% to 150% of the original taxes owed. Even if you could pay the taxes owed, the extra penalties will make paying off the entire balance impossible.
The IRS imposes penalties to punish taxpayers and keep them in line. The IRS does forgive penalties. Before you pay the IRS any penalty amounts, you may want to consider requesting the IRS not to punish you because it wasn’t your fault.
