Large Case IRS Audit – Here is a client that owed the IRS several years back taxes after attempting to perform their tax audit himself. The IRS wanted over $100,000. The audit was fairly messy because the client tried to work on it himself. . Here is his testimonial:

“After a botched self-help IRS Audit, we found ourselves owing over $70,000 in additional taxes. Jay Allen Finn helped to reduce that amount to $17,000. If you are looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and local professional to assist on IRS problems, you need to look no further than Jay Allen Finn. Thank you, Richard.”

Offer in Compromise – This client owed 4 years of back taxes in the tune of $30k to $40k. The client is a blue collar worked and was unable to pay the hefty fees the IRS was attempting to charge. Jay Allen Finn was able to assist the client by entering into an Offer in Compromise with the IRS. They settled for only $1200 for his delinquent taxes. The offer was a deferred plan, in which he agreed to pay $50 for 24 months. The only stipulation was the client had to pay taxes on time for the next several years or the offer was revoked. Needless to say the client was extremely happy to resolve his tax burden, saving tens of thousands of dollars.

IRS Tax Audit – This was a tough audit that was fought by Mr Finn the entire way. The client owed several thousand dollars after the tax audit. They eventually ruled ‘No Change’ and the client owed nothing!

IRS Offer in Compomise – very similar to the other Offer in Compromise case mentioned previously. This client had owed many years of back taxes and was unable to pay the approximately $30,000 tax debt he had accrued. Mr Finn settled with the IRS and the client only had to pay $50 for 24 months. Another very happy client!

The IRS just recently introduced a new Offer in Compromise (OIC) program in an effort to assist taxpayers that are struggling to pay off their tax liabilities.

• New OIC program allows taxpayers with annual incomes up to $100,000 to participate
• New OIC program allows taxpayers with a tax liability of less than $50,000 (up from $25,000 of tax debt)

What is an IRS Offer in Compromise?

The program assists individuals and small businesses meet their tax debt obligations, without adding unnecessary burden to taxpayers. The new offer in compromise program is now streamlined to help taxpayers pay back taxes and avoid tax liens.

An offer in compromise is an agreement between the taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service that settles the tax debt at a lower dollar amount than is already owed. Offers in compromise are based on taxpayer’s income and assets.

Am I eligible to participate, and if so, where do I start?

An offer in compromise is generally not eligible if the IRS believes that the tax liability can be paid in full by the taxpayer. The IRS will look at the taxpayer’s income and assets to determine the taxpayer’s ability to pay.
