An Offer in Compromise is a tax settlement method offered by the IRS. Consequently, it allows taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than they owe. In fact, the IRS only accepts these offers if it believes that the taxpayer cannot make the payment in full or through a payment plan. Furthermore, the IRS also must believe that the offer is equal to or greater than the amount the agency could expect to collect from the taxpayer.
