Penalties & Payment Plans
“Is an Offer in Compromise something I can apply for?”
An Offer in Compromise is often discussed when a tax balance feels difficult to resolve in full, but eligibility usually depends on several factors, including income, assets, monthly living expenses, and whether the IRS views the amount as collectible through other means. The overall tax history and the type of tax debt involved can also matter, since some situations are more straightforward than others. In many cases, the IRS reviews financial documentation closely before considering whether a reduced settlement is appropriate, so the details of the return and current finances tend to shape the answer. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
