The IRS engages in tax debt settlements. However, not everyone with IRS tax debt qualifies for settlements. You must first qualify for the IRS offer in compromise program before attempting to actively seek a settlement of your tax debt. Even after qualifying to submit an offer in compromise, acceptance by the IRS is far from assured.

As a general rule, the IRS will not enter into settlements with people who are perfectly capable of paying their tax debts. The IRS will not pursue settlements based on frivolous arguments like overall objections to the tax system in the United States. Also, tax settlements are generally not an option for people who live beyond their means.

IRS settlements may be available to those who have very large tax debts but very little income. Settlements may also be available to people with special circumstances (such as the recent disability of the primary wage earner). Settlements are also available for people who would experience true economic hardship if they paid the entire tax amount due.

Due to the complexity of the IRS offer in compromise program, those who successfully broker a settlement are usually represented by tax professionals. This is true because you must prove to the IRS that your allowable expenses exceed your income. Backing these assertions with acceptable documentation is required. Because Tax Tiger attorneys have extensive experience with the unwritten practices of the IRS, we can advise you accurately of your chances of obtaining a settlement. We have negotiated settlements for qualified tax debtors for as little as $10! Our tax attorneys are available to discuss your tax issues free of charge, so give us a call today.
