What is an offer in compromise?

The Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a program that allows a taxpayer to settle their delinquent taxes for LESS than the total amount the IRS claims they owe.The OIC is arguably the most widely used of all tax relief programs. In addition, new tax laws have given fresh hope to those who previously did not qualify for an OIC under old legislation.Our staff at Progressive have the skills and experience to determine whether an Offer in Compromise is the program for you.

If you qualify for the OIC program, you can save thousands of dollars in taxes, penalties and interest. Taxpayers can negotiate settlements on all types of taxes, including most payroll taxes, penalties, and interest.
The OIC program provides taxpayers who owe the IRS more than they could ever afford to pay, the opportunity to pay a small amount as a full and final payment.
A Doubt as to Collectability (DATC) Offer in Compromise is negotiated on the basis of a taxpayer's inability to pay and takes into account the taxpayer's current financial position including the taxpayer's equity in assets.
The OIC program also allows taxpayers that do not agree that they owe the tax or feel that the tax has been incorrectly calculated, an opportunity to file an Offer in Compromise- Doubt as to Liability (DATL) and have their tax liabilities reconsidered. More information: Offer in Compromise
