What is this miracle solution? The official term is Offer in Compromise or an OIC for short. Before you breath a sigh of relief and start thinking this will solve your problems I need to tell you something: We used to laugh at the OIC applications. There is a reason I said they’re hard to get, and let me tell you just some of the hurdles you’ll have to overcome:
? You have to prove to the IRS that you will never be able to pay back the entire tax debt, or prove that paying off your debt would create “undue hardship”. When you deal with the IRS you are guilty until proven innocent.
? Only 2% of all offers in compromise are successful.
? If the Offer in Compromise is accepted you have to enter into a five year contract with the IRS. You have to file all returns on time and pay any tax debt you may incur during the five year period. Failure to live up to the terms of the contract will result in the entire debt being reinstated and you’ll have to owe the original amount plus any additional interest and penalties.
You can’t always believe the “experts”. Sometimes I stay up late and watch these commercials where so called tax experts tell you they can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar. They’re trying to sell you on an Offer in Compromise. And they will file the OIC for you, but if you don’t meet the criteria they have your money and you still owe the debt. Always research these tax professionals with the Better Business Bureau before you give them your money when you’re already in a tight spot.
Now you have the smoking gun…Use it!
