Form 656 or Form 656-L, Offer in Compromise, is the most widely known IRS back tax settlement technique. Our previous posting on Form 656, Offer in Compromise, noted the following:
- The qualifications for IRS acceptance of Form 656 are well known. But they aren’t always black and white. They can be blended, or even bent, given the right circumstances.
- Given enough time, planning may be able to mold your circumstances to fit IRS guidelines for Form 656.
- The IRS now accepts far fewer Offers in Compromise.
- Offer mills unethically promote the Offer in Compromise technique as a universal response to back tax cases and there has been a legal backlash against them.
- Businesses must also file Form 433-B with Form 656.
- Individuals must file Form 433-A with Form 656.
- The IRS has intimate knowledge of your finances secondary to the information provided on Form 433-A, Form 433-B and /or Form 656.
- There are alternative techniques for back tax cases.
The Common Paradox with Form 656, Offer in Compromise
You qualify for an Offer in Compromise because you’re in poor financial condition. But this might mean you don’t have money to pay even a “pennies on the dollar” back tax settlement. The IRS may allow you to pay the back tax settlement over time. But more often, these funds are provided by the taxpayer’s family.
