Offers-in-Compromise
What You Should Know
An offer-in-compromise is an agreement between the IRS and a taxpayer that settles a debt for less than the amount owed. Similar to installment agreements and other IRS programs, certain compliance and collectibility requirements must be met in order to qualify. In general, for an offer-in-compromise to be accepted, the IRS has to determine that it can collect more from a taxpayer through a settlement compared to what it can collect over the life of the remaining collection statute. In May 2012, the IRS expanded its offer-in-compromise program to include more flexible terms, allowing more taxpayers to qualify.
