What is an offer in compromise and how do i qualify?

Offer in Compromise is a program that the IRS implemented years ago to allow taxpayers to settle tax arrears for a portion of the amount owing. Depending on your unique tax status, different amounts of tax settlement are available. Tax Settlement Center specializes in finding the best possible option for people who qualify, even if the IRS does not overtly advertise these programs.

Millions of Americans have fallen behind on their tax payments to the IRS at some point in their lives. It can be frightening to owe money to the IRS, but don’t worry, and don’t lose faith — there are options for tax settlement.

The IRS and state collection process involves sending notices to taxpayers with outstanding tax debts. If debts remain unpaid, agencies may resort to actions like wage garnishment or bank account levies to collect what is owed.

If you can’t afford to pay your tax bill but want to stay compliant and out of IRS collectors, there are several options available to you. Here are some things to think about if you’re trying to figure out how to pay your tax bill:

1. Installment Agreement

Consider working out an installment plan with the IRS if you can afford monthly payments. This long-term payment plan requires that you have filed all applicable tax forms and owe no more than $25,000 in total tax, penalties, and interest.

2. Hardship Options

If you don’t have the financial means to pay your tax debt in full and can’t afford a monthly payment plan with the IRS, you may be eligible for hardship relief. The IRS offers a temporary hardship arrangement to taxpayers who do not have the financial means to pay down their debt right now. If you want to get a hardship agreement from the IRS, you’ll need to provide the following information:

A list of savings, sources of income, and assets.
Your most current bank statements.
Market value for assets.
Proof of income within the last three months.
