IRS Tax Settlement – Offer in Compromise

An Offer In Compromise (OIC) is an agreement between you and the IRS to pay less than what you owe in taxes. In many cases, it can be a valid settlement option if you are unable to pay your owed taxes in full, or if doing so will cause financial hardship. Both individuals and businesses may qualify for an OIC, but you're not guaranteed to qualify.

That’s where we come in. The ALG Group has a historic track record of helping people in Michigan and across the country take back their lives from tax debt. We’re here for you every step of the way as we negotiate a settlement with the IRS and complete all the steps necessary to settle your tax debt for less than what you owe.

Are IRS Tax Settlements Real?

The words 'tax settlement' might make you think of those aggressive commercials advertising tax debt relief for 'pennies on the dollar' or that show people who owed a substantial amount in taxes but only paid a fraction of it. Are they scams? Actually, not at all. It is entirely possible to settle your tax debt for less, BUT it's not as simple, straightforward, or guaranteed as those commercials make it seem.

An Offer In Compromise is based strictly on numbers; your financial ability to pay the balance in full. Other tax relief companies may promise you a settlement upfront before they've even taken your actual numbers into account, only to have it potentially denied by the IRS, and you left still paying a sizeable fee.
