Thinking about tackling this alone? Don’t. The IRS is trained to protect its interests, not yours. Steve Perry, EA, has rescued countless taxpayers by creating ironclad OIC applications, expertly negotiating every detail, and shielding families and businesses from devastating collections.

Understanding the Offer in Compromise

An Offer in Compromise lets you settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It sounds simple, yet the IRS approves only about 1 in 3 applications nationwide. The qualification criteria are strict. You must prove you can’t pay the full balance, either as a lump sum or through a payment plan, and that your offer represents the most the IRS can reasonably expect to collect.

Thinking about tackling this alone? Don’t. The IRS protects its interests, not yours. Steve Perry, EA, knows how to create an OIC packet with a very high probability of success including the very extensive supporting documentation that will give the IRS every reason to say yes, expertly negotiating every detail, and shielding families and businesses from devastating collections.

Real Consequences of the IRS Agreement

Qualifying for an OIC is life-changing, but breaking the agreement is just as serious. The IRS spells out strict terms, and if you default, consequences are severe, sometimes worse than before:

  • The full original tax debt springs back, minus whatever you paid in the offer

  • Interest and penalties accumulate as if the offer never happened

  • The IRS seizes your refunds, slaps new levies, and resumes collections at full force

  • You risk losing your chance for another OIC

Don’t gamble with your second chance. Steve Perry, EA, doesn’t just secure your OIC. He guides you through every requirement, so you stay protected from the IRS’s swift retaliation.

What Happens If You Don’t Act?
