That’s a good question. So the government evaluates offers in compromises based on what a taxpayers reasonable collection potential is. Remember an offer in compromise is an agreement between the taxpayer and the government to forgive a past tax liability in exchange for future compliance. The government isn’t likely to forget about the liability. The government wants to make sure that the offer it’s getting from the taxpayer is fair to the government, so the government uses a formula called reasonable collection potential to determine that formula. The way reasonable collection potential works is the government looks at the taxpayer’s current situation, it projects a period of time between the state and federal government. They do it slightly differently but the question essentially is okay John’s taxpayer is submitting an offer in compromise: how much could we reasonably collect from John over the next five years and is that amount equal or lower than what John is offering? So you see how it works. They’re taking a five-year period, they’re saying how much can we get out of this guy and that amount is equal to or less than the amount of the offer. Then the government is inclined to take the offer so reasonable collection potential breaks down like this.

What Are the Different Types of Offers in Compromise?
So there’s three main types of offers in compromise at the federal level. There’s doubt as to collectability, there’s doubt as to liability and there’s effective tax administration. So let’s start with doubt as to collectability. It is the traditional offer or compromise that you may have heard of to settle your tax liability for pennies on the dollar and much like the name suggests, the reason that you’re submitting an offer of compromise is the doubt that the government will ever be able to collect that liability over the next X amount of years. So from a government’s perspective, the government has a lot of people that owe money. It’s not interested in going after a lost cause, so the government would rather cut its losses, settle the account, get you in compliance and move forward. So that’s essentially what the ask is and a doubt as to collectability offer in compromise. In a doubt as to liability offer in compromise you’re debating whether or not you actually owe the liability and you’re making a settlement offer to the government based on the fact that you don’t owe this liability and the risk to the government if they don’t take your doubt as to liability is that they won’t collect anything or will collect less than
What Is the IRS Appeals Process Like?
So, the IRS appeals process is actually reasonably friendly to taxpayers and let me explain why. First of all the function of Appeals technically is to be an independent body of the IRS away from examinations and collections. The sole function of appeals is to resolve disputes between the taxpayers and the government and to do so in a mutually beneficial way. The most common time we run into appeals is usually with respect to when we’re filing a Tax Court petition and trying to work things out. Most of our audits that we do at the firm we will file a tax court petition for and then we’ll try and negotiate with appeals. The benefit of dealing with Appeals is most of the Appeals officers are either former collection agents or they’re formal auditors so they understand what you’re talking about. You’re dealing with professional people who know the same playing field as you and that are a representative that we can communicate with on a high level and get a lot done. Number two is with Appeals you’re dealing with a very high volume of cases, so Appeals is trying to screen cases out prior to litigation. Because it’s trying to resolve disputes, it has a lot more flexibility. They’re dealing with so many cases that if, for example, you’re taking an audit into appeals, appeals isn’t going to go through bank statements. They’re not going to go through receipts but appeals will take a look at the presentation of information and they will make an objective decision independently of the author.

What Do I Do If I Have Not Filed Taxes for Multiple Years?
So the first thing to do when you haven’t filed taxes is you need to get your taxes filed. If you can arrive at how much you owe the government, you can begin fixing the problem. So the first thing you need to do is establish your filing compliance: how many years haven’t you filed, what information do you need to get it filed and then get your returns filed. So in some cases we’ve had situations honestly where clients don’t remember what years they have and have not filed for, so the appropriate solution in those cases is to call the IRS and to do what we refer to as an analysis. An analysis is a comprehensive review of your account to determine what returns you filed, what returns you haven’t filed, what returns the government has filed for you and any other pieces of information that you would need in order to get in to compliance. Like what information does

How Do You Beat IRS Collections at Its Own Game?
Okay so with IRS collections, here’s the thing to keep in mind. IRS collections is really about what’s the best end result for the client. How much can the client afford to pay? How much does the client want to pay? And what is the IRS going to come back with based on those inputs. So the easy thing about collections is you know exactly the direction it’s going to go. With collections for example, you know how they’re going to do financial analysis, you know the way that they’re going to look at certain items of income, you know the way they’re going to look at certain business expenses, so it’s very easy to understand. It’s very easy to take your client’s circumstances or take your own circumstances and to go through and audit your financials and line them up on a financial statement and say this is what the auditor’s going to look at. So anybody can really fill out a financial statement. There are some traps on that financial statement, there’s probably some information you don’t want to give out but at least you’ve got a baseline for where your financials are and where they might need to be in order to hit your desired results. The best thing that you have in the course of an IRS collections case is time, especially for the ability to control some of the inputs on your bank statements. So for example when we’re negotiating an IRS collection resolution and we have a period of time that passes, we will instruct
What Does the IRS Appeals Process Look Like?
So IRS appeals is supposed to be an independent body that is neutral and that’s designed to resolve disputes with the IRS prior to going to tax collections. In reality Appeals is staffed with a bunch of former auditors and a bunch of former collection agents however we’ve had a lot of positive experiences in the course of Appeals in this firm so I like dealing with appeals. I find the appeals process is generally fair and impartial and generally yields a pretty good result depending on the circumstances. Now the good news with appeals is that the auditor is not involved in the process at all. The auditor has taken
