At Clarity Tax Resolutions, our team of IRS agents, managers, and instructors brings over of combined experience to the table. We specialize in IRS tax debt settlements, including the widely known Offer in Compromise (OIC), and are dedicated to helping you find the best resolution for your unique situation.
Understanding IRS Tax Debt Settlements
What is an Offer in Compromise (OIC)? An Offer in Compromise (OIC) allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is designed for individuals who would face severe financial hardship if required to pay their entire tax liability. The IRS evaluates several factors, including:
- Your ability to pay the tax
- Income and expenses
- Equity in assets
The IRS typically approves an OIC when the offered amount represents the maximum they can reasonably expect to collect. However, not everyone qualifies, and the program is highly competitive:
- 52,000 Offers in Compromise are filed each year.
- Only 12,000 are accepted.
- The average settlement is 14 cents on the dollar.
- Processing typically takes five months, and about 50% end up in the Appeals Division.
- The IRS dedicates 20-40 hours to each OIC, involving a thorough review of credit reports, financial history, and future earning potential.
