Yes, tax settlements are negotiable with the IRS. Taxpayers who are unable to pay their tax debts in full may be eligible for a tax settlement, also known as an Offer in Compromise (OIC). An OIC allows taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed, based on their ability to pay.
There are several factors that the IRS considers when evaluating an OIC, including the taxpayer's income, expenses, and assets. The IRS will also consider whether the taxpayer has filed all required tax returns and made all required tax payments.
It is important to note that not all taxpayers are eligible for an OIC, and the acceptance of an OIC is at the discretion of the IRS. Additionally, the OIC process can be complex and time-consuming, and it is recommended that taxpayers seek the assistance of a qualified tax professional.
If a taxpayer's OIC is rejected, they may have the option to appeal the decision. It is also possible for taxpayers to negotiate a payment plan with the IRS if they are unable to pay their tax debt in full. Again, it is recommended that taxpayers seek the assistance of a qualified tax professional to navigate these options.
