If the taxpayer refuses an offer in compromise based on a theory regarding Doubt over Liability or Doubt concerning Collectability (or ETA), then Effective Tax Administration may be available. The taxpayer must establish that the tax liability collection would result in hardship economics or where compelling public or equity considerations provide sufficient funds to allow for less.
We generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount you offer represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time. Explore all other payment options before you submit an offer in compromise. The Offer in Compromise program is not for everyone. If you hire a tax professional to help you file an offer, be sure to check his or her qualifications.
