Under federal and New York State laws, if a taxpayer does not have sufficient assets or income to full pay his or her tax liabilities, the taxpayer is entitled to make an offer to pay less than the full amount of the tax debt.  The Offer-In-Compromise (OIC) program is a very powerful tax relief program that can legally reduce your tax debt by thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even eliminate it completely. Your IRS debt may be reduced to something you can afford to pay, not the insurmountable amount you allegedly owe.

An Offer-In-Compromise is an application process where the taxpayer attempts to demonstrate that he/she does not have sufficient assets or income to pay his/her tax debt in full.  Taxpayer may then make an offer to pay a smaller sum.

Under appropriate circumstances, a taxpayer’s tax debt may be totally extinguished through an Offer-In-Compromise program.
