💬 Tax Resolution Services

The IRS requires taxpayers to be in FULL FILING COMPLIANCE before it will review or approve an Offer in Compromise.

An OIC is a formal request to settle tsx debt for less than the full amount owed. Before the IRS will consider this request, it must have a complete and accurate picture of your tax history and current compliance status. 

If required tax returns are missing or unfiled:

-The IRS will reject the Offer without review.

-Processing will be delayed or stopped

-Any payments or applications may be returned.

Filing all required returns ensures:

-Your total tax liability is accurately calculated

-The IRS can evaluate your true financial situation

-Your Offer is eligible for consideration

Once all returns are filed and you are current, the IRS can properly assess whether an Offer i Compromise is a viable option for your case. 

If you have unfiled or past-due tax returns, those returns must be completed before an Offer in Compromise can move forward. Tax return preparation and filing is a seperate service an is not included in the OIC enggement agreement.

If filing assistance is needed, please review our tax preparation and compliance services and pricing here.

Once all required returns are diled and you re compliant, we can proceed wirh evaluating and submitting Offer in Compromise.

When submitting an Offer in Compromise using the lump-sum payment option, the IRS requires an initial payment equal to 20% of the offer amount to be submitted with the Offer.

This 20% payment is:

• A mandatory IRS requirement
• Applied toward your proposed settlement amount
• Required for the IRS to process and review the Offer

If the Offer is accepted, the 20% payment is credited toward your total settlement.

If the Offer is rejected, the payment is generally applied to your existing tax balance.

The IRS will not consider an Offer in Compromise without this required initial payment.

The IRS requires a non-refundable $205 application fee to process an Offer in Compromise.

This fee:

• Is set by the IRS (not The Solutions Center)
• Must be submitted with the Offer
• Covers IRS processing and review of the application
• Is required regardless of whether the Offer is accepted or rejected

The IRS will return or delay Offers submitted without the required application fee unless you qualify for a low-income waiver.

The IRS review timeline for an Offer in Compromise can vary significantly based on the complexity of the case, IRS workload, and whether additional information is requested.

In most cases:

• Initial IRS review may take 3 to 6 months
• Full review and final determination can take 6 to 12 months or longer

Some cases may be resolved sooner, while others may take additional time depending on IRS processing backlogs and case-specific factors.

These timelines are set and controlled by the IRS, not The Solutions Center. We do not have the ability to expedite IRS review or influence processing speed.

An Offer in Compromise includes a future compliance requirement set by the IRS, not by The Solutions Center.

If an Offer in Compromise is accepted, the IRS requires you to:

• File all future tax returns on time
• Pay all future tax liabilities in full and on time
• Remain fully compliant for five years following acceptance

This requirement is mandatory. Failure to remain compliant may result in:

• Default of the Offer in Compromise
• Reinstatement of the original tax debt
• Additional penalties and interest

The Solutions Center does not control or enforce this requirement. Ongoing tax compliance is the taxpayer’s responsibility and is a condition imposed by the IRS.
