What Is An Offer In Compromise?
What exactly is an Offer in Compromise? Simply put it is a way to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. An Offer in Compromise is really only for people that would experience financial hardship if they had to pay their full tax bill.
However, everyone who applies for this program will have their individual circumstances taken into account.
These include:
- Your income
- Your ability to pay
- Your expenses and outgoings
- Your asset equity
What Does It Mean?
Usually, an Offer in Compromise represents the most you can be expected to pay within what is considered a reasonable amount of time. It is always worth exploring other options when it comes to tackling your tax debt as there might be other alternatives that are better suited to your circumstances.
