An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It may be a legitimate option if you can’t pay your full tax liability in a reasonable time horizon or doing so creates a financial hardship. For being approved for this solution, the IRS consider your unique set of facts and circumstances:
- Ability to pay
- Income;
- Expenses;
- Asset equity
How does it affect me?
