Firm News: Recent IRS Offer in Compromise Victory

Porter Law Office LLC recently helped a client secure an approved IRS offer in compromise. The IRS accepted $500 to settle a tax debt of more than $40,000. The approved offer was a lump sum cash offer based on doubt as to collectibility (see IRM 5.8.4.3).

The taxpayer was a single, self-employed individual who rented a home and owned two cars. The taxpayer had minimal assets and was paying alimony. It took the IRS eight months after the offer in compromise was filed to approve it. We are very proud about this result and happy for the taxpayer.

An offer in compromise is a fact-specific application. Therefore, the facts and results of each case will vary. We cannot guarantee any particular result from our legal representation of any taxpayer before the IRS.
