Learning Objective

  • To identify functions of an IRS field team visiting employers who are delinquent on their payroll tax payments.
  • To analyze if there is any way to get the IRS to accept the higher numbers if your client's expenses are well over the National Standards.
  • To describe the percentage of submitted Offers in Compromise (OICs) the IRS accepts (rounded to the nearest percentage).
  • To recognize what level of tax liability will a taxpayer's file be turned over to Revenue Officers (ROs) in the field.
  • To identify which set of expenses the IRS must use when preparing the monthly income and expense statement on any version of Form 433.
  • To differentiate which type of OIC is appropriate.
  • To recognize how to prepare the OIC and present the offer.
  • To identify the taxpayer’s role when it comes to Effective Tax Administration (ETA)
  • To analyze what you should do when sending documents to the IRS.
  • To differentiate reasons the IRS would even consider an OIC when they have the power to collect the money, attach assets, levy wages, and bank accounts.

Course Overview

This is a rebroadcast and not a live webcast.

Offer in compromise is a program instituted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for taxpayers who cannot pay the taxes they owe, or for taxpayers for whom it would create a financial hardship to pay the taxes they owe. An Offer-in-Compromise (OIC) allows taxpayers to reach an agreement with the IRS to pay less than the total owed. 

In this CPE course, you'll receive a detailed 6-step guide to requesting an OIC to achieve a reasonable settlement for your client.

Form 656 is one of the forms required by the IRS for requesting an Offer in Compromise or OIC. This form, in combination with form 433-OIC, allows the IRS to evaluate your client’s financial situation and tax debt to determine if they will accept the offer. It is where you report the details of your proposed OIC. It’s also where you make your case for why it’s in the IRS’s best interest to accept less money than the taxpayer owes.

Join this CE Tax Course and understand how to complete the Form 656 application.

This course will cover the following major topics:

  • Understanding the Offers
  • Doubt as to Liability
  • Effective Tax Administration
  • Doubt as to Collectability
  • Influence/optimize the outcome
  • Strategies for Offers
  • Presenting the Offer
  • Setting Expectations
  • Plan for Appeals

This CPE webinar by Eva Rosenberg is a part of the 10-part IRS Representation Series designed to provide a solid foundation for tax practitioners to handle all areas of IRS representation. 

You can also attend our certification course on the IRS Representation Series.
