A real settlement — for the taxpayers who genuinely qualify.
The IRS Offer in Compromise program allows the agency to accept less than the full balance owed when it determines that collecting the full amount is unlikely or would create genuine economic hardship. The IRS weighs your income, necessary living expenses, and equity in assets to decide what it believes it can reasonably collect — and that figure becomes the basis of the offer.
Not every taxpayer qualifies, and a poorly prepared offer is far more likely to be rejected than accepted. The application requires detailed financial disclosure and a defensible calculation of your reasonable collection potential, submitted correctly the first time.
How CCG builds your offer
- Evaluate whether an Offer in Compromise is realistically the right fit for your situation
- Gather and organize the financial documentation the IRS requires
- Prepare a defensible offer package and submit it directly to the IRS
- Handle all IRS correspondence and negotiation until your case is resolved
If an offer isn't the right fit
Some taxpayers don't qualify for an Offer in Compromise, and that's not the end of the conversation — a payment plan, penalty abatement, or another resolution path may make more sense. A complimentary consultation is the fastest way to find out which route applies to you.
The IRS won't tell you if you qualify for less than you owe. A thorough, honest evaluation is the only way to know for sure.
