There are a variety of mechanisms in place for taxpayers to resolve tax disputes with the IRS. This course focuses on the most common way taxpayers can attempt to reduce their tax debts, the Offer in Compromise (OIC). The course will evaluate the bases upon which an OIC can be made, how the IRS calculates the amount of money it will receive, completing the formal application process, and post-approval actions. PLEASE NOTE: This course material is a component of #7175: Tax Debt Relief and the IRS, therefore we recommend that you should not take that course in the same CPE reporting period. All course material provided. No prerequisites. Course level: Basic.
