Offer in Compromise
Settle Qualified Tax Debt for Less Than the Full Amount Owed
If you cannot afford to pay your full IRS tax debt, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise.
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) allows eligible taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the total amount they owe. But your approval depends on strict financial analysis and documented eligibility.
The IRS does not automatically approve Offers. It approves them only when the taxpayer’s financial situation meets specific legal requirements.
911 Tax Relief, led by federally licensed tax professionals, represents taxpayers nationwide in evaluating, preparing, and negotiating Offer in Compromise applications.

What Is an IRS Offer in Compromise?
An Offer in Compromise is a formal settlement program that allows qualified taxpayers to resolve their tax debt for less than the full balance.
The IRS evaluates:
- Your income
- Your allowable living expenses
- Your assets
- Your future earning potential
- Your compliance history
If the IRS determines that it cannot reasonably collect the full amount, it may approve a reduced settlement.
Your qualification determines your approval.
Do You Qualify for an Offer in Compromise?
Not everyone qualifies for the OIC program.
The IRS typically approves Offers when:
- The taxpayer cannot fully pay through an installment agreement
- A collection would create financial hardship
- The IRS’s “reasonable collection potential” is lower than the debt owed
We conduct a detailed financial analysis before recommending an Offer submission.
Submitting an unqualified Offer can result in:
- Rejection
- Lost application fees
- Continued tax penalties and interest
- Delayed resolution
We will evaluate your eligibility before you commit to the process. If you don’t qualify, we can explore other options, such as penalty abatement or other structured tax relief strategies.
