US Federal Tax Services - IRS Negotiations / Offer in Compromise
When it comes to IRS tax negotiations, one size doesn't fit all. Each situation is unique, and each individual or business has unique needs. We analyze your situation and tailor our legal counsel to your situation.
While many people would like to settle for less than the full amount through an offer in compromise, this type of relief is not available for everyone. By working with a leader in tax law, you will benefit from our major strength — personal attention — which allows us to personally tailor IRS negotiations and settlements that are appropriate to your situation.
An offer in compromise (OIC) is an agreement between a taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service that settles the taxpayer's tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
​
Absent special circumstances, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes that the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement.
