OIC Straight Talk
Get straight talk and competent advice from a retired IRS OIC Specialist.
Caution! Do not be misled: Many people do not qualify. The Offer in Compromise (OIC) process is long and difficult, and the Internal Revenue Service rejects the great majority of the offers it receives.
Based on my 30-year career with the IRS and my recent 11 years of experience as an IRS OIC Specialist/Examiner, my OIC expertise is second to none. I am highly qualified to determine who is and is not a candidate for an offer-in-compromise. If you are a candidate for an OIC, I can calculate the amount of a potentially acceptable offer, using the IRS's OIC guidelines.
Since there are relatively few OIC Specialist/Examiners employed by the IRS, there are even fewer retired OIC Specialist/Examiners in private practice. For example, to the best of my knowledge, I am the only one in the state where I reside.
Read about how my experience and my services are superior to that of most of my competitors and then contact me for a free initial consultation.

What is an OIC?
An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a process through which a federal tax liability can be settled for a payment of less than the full amount that's owed to the IRS.
An OIC can be submitted to contest the amount of a tax liability, but most are based on inability to pay the full amount or financial hardship. |
Caution:
Do Not Be Misled
In many websites of firms advertising OIC assistance, it is implied, if not falsely promised, that just about anyone who owes Federal taxes can settle his or her tax liability through an Offer in Compromise. They imply, "Just pay our fee, and we will make it happen." Don't believe it!
