NEGOTIATED
SETTLEMENTS
Did you know that you can settle your debt with the IRS for less than you owe them with their Offer in Compromise program?
This program allows taxpayers to settle with the IRS on tax debt that has been
1) incorrectly assessed or
2) for liabilities they cannot afford to pay.
The IRS Code states: "We will accept an Offer in Compromise when it is
unlikely that we can collect the full amount owed and the amount you
offer reasonably reflects the collection potential..." (Internal
Revenue Code section 7122).
Many times, (but not always) it is possible to completely eliminate all
of the taxes you owe - including all penalties and interest - at a huge
discount. There is no preset bottom limit that the IRS will accept to
settle your debt especially if your offer is done "right."
Ultimately, the IRS does not look at how much you “owe”. It
is simply looking at “how much you earn” and “how
much in assets you own”. If done correctly, it may be possible to
settle your for only 5-15% of what you presently owe. BEWARE!!! There
are many national companies promising settlement of your tax debt for
“PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR”!! To make a blanket statement such
as this without knowing any of the circumstances of your situation, is
reckless at best, and malpractice at its worst.
Can you imagine your doctor walking into your examination room and
start writing a prescription, without having any type of examination or
asking you any questions??? The IRS has a set procedure
established with guidelines and regulations that specify how a deal has
to be structured for it to be accepted. I know exactly what the IRS is
looking for and what an acceptable offer would be. If an offer is
submitted that isn’t done according to their guidelines, it will
be IMMEDIATELY REJECTED!!! Many of these companies are accepting
clients whose financial circumstances are such that their offers were
never viable or acceptable from the beginning!!! Yet they are still out
thousands of $$$$’s in fees.
