WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWWhat is an offer?An offer <strong>in</strong> compromise (offer) is an agreement between you (the taxpayer) andthe IRS that settles a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. The offerprogram provides eligible taxpayers with a path toward pay<strong>in</strong>g off their tax debtand gett<strong>in</strong>g a "fresh start." The ultimate goal is a compromise that suits the best<strong>in</strong>terest of both the taxpayer and the IRS. To be considered, generally you mustmake an appropriate offer based on what the IRS considers your true ability topay.Submitt<strong>in</strong>g an application does not ensure that the IRS will accept your offer. Itbeg<strong>in</strong>s a process of evaluation and verification by the IRS, tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>toconsideration any special circumstances that might affect your ability to pay.This booklet will lead you through a series of steps to help you calculate anappropriate offer based on your assets, <strong>in</strong>come, expenses, and future earn<strong>in</strong>gpotential. The application requires you to describe your f<strong>in</strong>ancial situation <strong>in</strong>detail, so before you beg<strong>in</strong>, make sure you have the necessary <strong>in</strong>formation anddocumentation.Are you eligible?BankruptcyBefore you submit your offer, you must (1) file all tax returns you are legallyrequired to file, (2) make all required estimated tax payments for the current year,and (3) make all required federal tax deposits for the current quarter if you are abus<strong>in</strong>ess owner with employees.If you or your bus<strong>in</strong>ess is currently <strong>in</strong> an open bankruptcy proceed<strong>in</strong>g, you are noteligible to apply for an offer. Any resolution of your outstand<strong>in</strong>g tax debtsgenerally must take place with<strong>in</strong> the context of your bankruptcy proceed<strong>in</strong>g.If you are not sure of your bankruptcy status, contact the Centralized InsolvencyOperation at 1-800-973-0424. Be prepared to provide your bankruptcy casenumber and/or Taxpayer Identification Number.Can you full pay?Your Future Tax RefundsDoubt as to LiabilityOther important factsGenerally, the IRS will not accept an offer if you can pay your tax debt <strong>in</strong> fullthrough an <strong>in</strong>stallment agreement or a lump sum.The IRS will keep any refund, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest, for tax periods extend<strong>in</strong>g throughthe calendar year that the IRS accepts the offer. For example, if your offer isaccepted <strong>in</strong> 2013 and you file your 2013 <strong>Form</strong> 1040 on April 15, 2014 show<strong>in</strong>g arefund, IRS will apply your refund to your tax debt. The refund is not consideredas a payment toward your offer.If you have a legitimate doubt that you owe part or all of the tax debt, you willneed to complete a <strong>Form</strong> <strong>656</strong>-L, <strong>Offer</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Compromise</strong> (Doubt as to Liability).The <strong>Form</strong> <strong>656</strong>-L is not <strong>in</strong>cluded as part of this package. To submit a Doubt as toLiability offer, you may request a form by call<strong>in</strong>g the toll free number 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676), by visit<strong>in</strong>g a local IRS office, or at www.irs.gov.Penalties and <strong>in</strong>terest will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to accrue dur<strong>in</strong>g the offer evaluation process.After you file your offer, you must cont<strong>in</strong>ue to file and pay all required tax returns,estimated tax payments, and federal tax payments through the f<strong>in</strong>al decision and,if accepted, through the fifth year of compliance (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g any extensions).You cannot submit an offer that is only for a tax year or tax period that has notbeen assessed. Do not send <strong>in</strong> an offer until you have received at least one billfor your tax debt(s).1


You cannot submit an offer if the IRS has referred your case to the Department ofJustice (DOJ), and the DOJ case <strong>in</strong>cludes any of the tax periods you want tocompromise.The law requires the IRS to make certa<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation from accepted offersavailable for public <strong>in</strong>spection and review. These public <strong>in</strong>spection files arelocated <strong>in</strong> designated IRS Area Offices.A Notice of Federal Tax Lien (lien) gives the IRS a legal claim to your property assecurity for payment of your tax debt. The IRS may file a lien dur<strong>in</strong>g the offer<strong>in</strong>vestigation. However, unless a jeopardy situation exists, a lien will usually notbe requested until a f<strong>in</strong>al determ<strong>in</strong>ation has been made on the offer.If your bus<strong>in</strong>ess owes trust fund taxes, responsible <strong>in</strong>dividuals may be held liablefor the trust fund portion of the tax. You are not eligible to submit an offer unlessthe trust fund portion of the tax is paid or the Trust Fund Recovery Penaltydeterm<strong>in</strong>ations have been made on all potentially responsible <strong>in</strong>dividual(s). Trustfund taxes are the money withheld from an employee's wages, such as <strong>in</strong>cometax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes.The IRS may levy your assets up to the time that the IRS official signs andacknowledges your offer as pend<strong>in</strong>g. In addition, the IRS may keep any proceedsreceived from the levy. If your assets are levied after your offer is pend<strong>in</strong>g,immediately contact the IRS person whose name and phone number is listed onthe levy.If you currently have an approved <strong>in</strong>stallment agreement with the IRS and aremak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>stallment payments, then you may stop mak<strong>in</strong>g the payments when yousubmit an offer. If your offer is not accepted, your <strong>in</strong>stallment agreement with IRSwill be re<strong>in</strong>stated with no additional fee.PAYING FOR YOUR OFFERApplication fee<strong>Offer</strong>s require a $186 application fee.EXCEPTION: If you are an <strong>in</strong>dividual or are operat<strong>in</strong>g as a sole proprietorshipand your household <strong>in</strong>come meets the Low Income Certification guidel<strong>in</strong>es, youwill not be required to send the application fee.Payment optionsYou must select a payment option and <strong>in</strong>clude the payment with your offer.
