Offers in Compromise

Victorium Legal helps individuals and business owners in Sacramento, Davis, Elk Grove, Roseville, and Folsom pursue Offers in Compromise that can reduce tax balances to an amount you can afford.

A clear path to settle tax debt

An Offer in Compromise is a formal agreement with the IRS or California that settles your tax bill for less than the full amount. We analyze finances, estimate a reasonable offer, prepare every form, and handle talks with the government. If another route fits better, we discuss payment plans or lien relief and coordinate future tax planning so you stay compliant after the offer.

Reduce what you owe to a workable amount

The IRS accepts Offers in Compromise when full collection is unlikely or would create hardship. We calculate reasonable collection potential using assets, income, and allowed expenses. Then we structure a lump sum or periodic payment offer that fits your budget.

Grounds that support acceptance

Most clients qualify under doubt as to collectibility. Others may qualify under doubt as to liability or effective tax administration when special circumstances apply. We confirm filing compliance, review bank and wage records, and project the lowest realistic offer before you commit.

Forms, documents, and negotiation

We prepare Forms 433-A(OIC) or 433-B(OIC) and Form 656 with supporting documents. Our team manages requests from the examiner, addresses valuation disputes, and negotiates counteroffers. If the IRS rejects, we appeal and consider options through IRS tax disputes for a stronger result.

Offer in Compromise questions, answered

  • How much should I offer

    The offer should match your reasonable collection potential based on asset equity and disposable income. We calculate that number and propose the minimum amount the agency is likely to accept.

  • Can I include state taxes with the IRS

    No. IRS and California Franchise Tax Board are separate. We can file coordinated offers to both so your full situation is covered.

  • How long does the process take

    Many offers take 6 to 12 months. Complex finances or property sales can extend timelines. We keep the file moving and update you at each step.

  • What happens after acceptance

    You must file and pay on time for five years. Once you complete payments, federal tax liens are released. We set up simple tax planning to help keep you compliant.

  • What if I do not qualify

    We consider installment agreements, currently not collectible status, penalty relief, or appeals within our IRS tax disputes practice to reach a manageable solution.
