What is an Offer in Compromise?

An Offer in Compromise is a program offered by the IRS that allows eligible taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is particularly beneficial for those who cannot pay their full tax liability or would experience significant financial hardship if required to do so. The IRS evaluates each case based on a comprehensive assessment of the taxpayer’s ability to pay, income, expenses, and asset equity.

Eligibility Criteria for Offer in Compromise

To qualify for an OIC, taxpayers must meet specific requirements:

  • Tax Filings: All required tax returns must be filed.
  • Estimated Payments: All necessary estimated tax payments for the current year must be made.
  • Bankruptcy Status: Applicants should not be in an open bankruptcy proceeding.
  • Valid Extension: If applying for the current tax year, a valid extension request must be filed.


Understanding these criteria is crucial before submitting an application, as failing to meet them can result in rejection or return of the application.
