Penalties & Payment Plans
“What is an Offer in Compromise, and do I qualify?”
An Offer in Compromise is a formal IRS collection option that can sometimes resolve a tax debt for less than the full amount owed, but eligibility often depends on a close review of income, assets, expenses, and the realistic ability to pay. The IRS also looks at whether the tax liability is accurate, whether current filing and payment obligations are up to date, and whether the financial information shows genuine hardship or limited collection potential. In many cases, the overall account history and supporting records matter as much as the balance itself. 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.
