IRS contact information If you want to see if you qualify for an offer in compromise before filling out the paperwork, you may use the Offer in Compromise (OIC) Pre-Qualifier tool. The questionnaire format assists in gathering the information needed and provides instant feedback as to your eligibility based on the information you provided. The tool will also assist you in determining a preliminary offer amount for consideration of an acceptable offer but is not a guarantee of acceptance. Access the tool at IRS.gov/OICtool or by scanning the QR code with your smart device.

All taxpayers have a set of fundamental rights they should be aware of when interacting with the IRS. Explore your rights and our obligations to protect them. For more information on your rights as a taxpayer, go to IRS.gov/Taxpayer-Bill-of-Rights.

Taxpayer resources The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that helps taxpayers and protects taxpayers' rights. TAS can offer you help if your tax problem is causing a financial difficulty, you’ve tried and been unable to resolve your issue with the IRS, or you believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn't working as it should. If you qualify for TAS assistance, which is always free, TAS will do everything possible to help you. Visit www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov or call 877-777-4778.

Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the IRS and TAS. LITCs represent individuals whose income is below a certain level and who need to resolve tax problems with the IRS. LITCs can represent taxpayers in audits, appeals, and tax collection disputes before the IRS and in court. In addition, LITCs can provide information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in different languages for individuals who speak English as a second language. Services are offered for free or a small fee. For more information or to find an LITC near you, see the LITC page at www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/litc or IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This publication is also available online at IRS.gov/forms-pubs or by calling the IRS toll-free at 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW What is an Offer? An Offer in Compromise (offer) is an agreement between you (the taxpayer) and

the IRS that settles a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. The offer program provides eligible taxpayers an opportunity to resolve their tax debt. The ultimate goal is a compromise that suits the best interest of both the taxpayer and the IRS. Generally, you must make an appropriate offer based on what the IRS considers your ability to pay. Submitting an application does not ensure that the IRS will accept your offer. It begins a process of evaluation and verification by the IRS, taking into consideration any special circumstances that may affect your ability to pay.

Are You Eligible? Before your offer can be considered, you must (1) file all tax returns you are legally required to file, (2) have received a bill for at least one tax debt included on your offer, (3) make all required estimated tax payments for the current year, and (4) if you are a business owner with employees, make all required federal tax deposits for the current quarter and the two preceding quarters. Note: If it is determined you have not filed all tax returns you are legally required to file, the IRS will apply any initial payment you sent with your offer to your tax debt and return both your offer and application fee to you. You cannot appeal this decision.

Bankruptcy, Open Audit, Innocent Spouse Claim, or Deactivated ITIN

If you or your business is currently in an open bankruptcy proceeding, you are not eligible to apply for an offer. Any resolution of your outstanding tax debts generally must take place within the context of your bankruptcy proceeding. Resolve any open audit or outstanding innocent spouse claim issues before submitting an offer. We will not consider an offer with a deactivated ITIN. If you have a deactivated ITIN, please complete the Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, and have it reactivated. Once the reactivation is completed, you may submit an Offer in Compromise.

Can You Pay in Full? Generally, the IRS will not accept an offer if you can pay your tax debt in full through an installment agreement and/or equity in assets. Note: Adjustments or exclusions, which may be considered during the offer investigation, such as allowance of $1,000 to a bank balance or $3,450 against the value of a car, are only applied if you are an individual and after we determine you cannot full pay the liabilities from equity in assets, an installment agreement, or a combination of both.

Your Tax Refunds The IRS may keep any tax period refund, including interest, for a tax return assessed before the date the IRS accepts your offer by offsetting it against your tax debt, as applicable. For example, you file your 2021 Form 1040 on April 15, 2022; the IRS assesses the overpayment on May 26, 2022, triggering an offset; and the IRS accepts your offer on July 1, 2022. Because the IRS offset the overpayment prior to the acceptance of the offer, the overpayment will be used to reduce your outstanding tax liability. Since your tax refund may be offset to the tax liability while the offer is pending, assistance from Taxpayer Advocate or the IRS at 800-829-1040 could be available for taxpayers (other than businesses) facing economic hardship. The refund is not considered as a payment toward your offer.

Doubt as to Liability If you have a legitimate doubt that you owe part or all of the tax debt, complete and submit a Form 656-L, Offer in Compromise (Doubt as to Liability). To request a Form 656-L, visit IRS.gov or a local IRS office or call toll-free 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). Note: Do not submit both an offer under Doubt as to Liability and an offer under Doubt as to Collectibility or Effective Tax Administration at the same time. You must resolve any doubt you owe part or all of the tax debt before submitting an offer based on your ability to pay.

Notice of Federal Tax Lien A lien is a legal claim against all your current and future property. When you don’t pay your first bill for taxes due, a lien is created by law and attaches to your property. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) provides public notice to creditors. The IRS files the NFTL to establish priority of the IRS claim versus the claims of certain other creditors. The IRS may file a NFTL at any time. You may be entitled to file an appeal under the Collection Appeals Program (CAP) before this occurs or request a Collection Due Process hearing after this occurs. The IRS may be entitled to any proceeds from the sale of property subject to the lien(s). If you sell the property prior to the release of the lien, excess property sale proceeds may be applied to your tax liability, even if your offer has been accepted.

Trust Fund Taxes If your business owes liabilities that include trust fund taxes, the IRS may hold responsible individuals liable for the trust fund portion of the tax pursuant to applicable law. Trust fund taxes are the money withheld from an employee's wages, such as income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes. If the IRS accepts an offer from an employer for a portion of the trust fund tax liability, the remainder of the trust fund taxes may be collected from the responsible parties. Your business is not eligible for consideration of an offer unless you meet IRS criteria, including the trust fund portion of the tax is paid, or the IRS has made the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty determination(s) on all potentially responsible individual(s). However, if you are submitting the offer as a victim of payroll service provider fraud or failure, the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty assessment discussed above is not required prior to submitting the offer.

Other Important Facts You have the right to appeal an offer rejection, but not the return of an offer. Penalties and interest will continue to accrue while your offer is considered by the IRS. After you submit your offer, you must continue to timely file and pay all required tax returns, estimated tax payments, and federal tax payments for yourself and any business in which you have an interest. Failure to meet your filing and payment responsibilities during consideration of your offer will result in the IRS returning your offer. If the IRS accepts your offer, you must continue to stay current with all tax filing and payment obligations through the fifth year after your offer is accepted. Note: If you have filed your tax returns but you have not received a bill for at least one tax debt included on your offer, your offer and application fee may be returned and any initial payment sent with your offer will be applied to your tax debt. To prevent the return of your offer, wait until you have received a bill for at least one tax debt and then include a copy of any tax return filed within 10 weeks of this offer submission. We can't process your offer if the IRS referred your case involving all tax periods to the Department of Justice. In addition, we cannot compromise any tax liability arising from a restitution amount ordered by a court or a tax debt reduced to judgment. Furthermore, we will not compromise any IRC § 965 tax liability for which an election was made under IRC § 965(i). You cannot appeal this decision. The law requires the IRS to make certain information from accepted offers available for public inspection and review. Find instructions to request a public inspection file at IRS.gov key words "public inspection file." The IRS may levy your assets up to the time the IRS official signs and acknowledges your offer as pending. In addition, the IRS may keep any proceeds received from the levy. If your assets are levied after your offer is submitted and under consideration, immediately contact the IRS at the phone number listed on the levy. If you currently have an approved installment agreement, you will not be required to make your installment agreement payments while we consider your offer. If your offer is not accepted and you have not incurred any additional tax debt, the IRS will reinstate your installment agreement.

PAYING FOR YOUR OFFER Application Fee Offers require a $205 application fee.

Exception: If you are an individual and meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines, there is no requirement to submit any offer payments or the application fee upon submission or during the consideration of your offer. You are considered an individual if you are seeking compromise of a liability for which you are personally responsible, including any liability you incurred as a sole proprietor.

Payment Options You must select a payment option and include the initial payment with your offer. The amount of the initial payment and subsequent payments will depend on the total amount of your offer and which of the following payment options you choose:

Lump Sum: This option requires 20% of the total offer amount to be paid with the offer and the remaining balance paid in 5 or fewer payments within 5 or fewer months of the date your offer is accepted.

Periodic Payment: This option requires you to make the first payment with the offer and the remaining balance paid in monthly payments within 6 to 24 months, in accordance with your proposed offer terms.

Note: Under the periodic payment option, you must continue to make monthly payments while the IRS is evaluating your offer. If you fail to make these payments at any time prior to receiving a final decision letter, the IRS may return your offer. You cannot appeal this decision. Total payments must equal the total offer amount. Generally, payments made on an offer will not be returned.

The initial payment and monthly payments are not required if you meet the Low- Income Certification guidelines. If you qualified under the Low-Income Certification and are not required to submit payments while the offer is under consideration, your first payment will be due 30 calendar days after acceptance of the offer, unless another date is agreed to in an amended offer.

If you do not have sufficient cash to pay for your offer, you may need to consider borrowing money from a bank, friends, and/or family. Other options may include borrowing against or selling other assets.

If you are an individual, use the OIC Pre-Qualifier tool at IRS.gov/OICtool to assist in determining a starting point for your offer amount. You may also use the OIC eligibility check on Individual Online Account (IOLA).

Note: You may not pay your offer amount with an expected or current tax refund, money already paid, funds attached by any collection action, or anticipated benefits from a capital or net operating loss. If you are planning to use your retirement savings from an IRA or 401k plan, you may have future tax debt as a result. Contact the IRS or your tax advisor before taking this action.

HOW TO APPLY Application Process The application must include:

• Form 656, Offer in Compromise • Completed and signed Form 433-A (OIC), Collection Information Statement for

Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals, if applicable • Completed and signed Form 433-B (OIC), Collection Information Statement for

Businesses, if applicable • $205 application fee, unless you meet Low-Income Certification Guidelines • Initial offer payment based on the payment option you choose, unless you

meet Low-Income Certification Guidelines

Note: Your offer(s) cannot be considered without the completed and signed Form(s) 656, 433-A (OIC), 433-B (OIC) (if applicable), and supporting documentation.

If You and Your Spouse Owe Joint and Separate Tax Debts

If you and your spouse have joint tax debt(s) and you or your spouse are also responsible for separate tax debt(s) (including Trust Fund Recovery Penalty), you will each need to send in a separate Form 656. You will complete one Form 656 for yourself listing all your joint and any separate tax debt(s) and your spouse will complete one Form 656 listing all their joint and any separate tax debt(s), for a total of two Forms 656.

If you and your spouse or ex-spouse have a joint tax debt and your spouse or ex- spouse does not want to be part of the offer, you may submit a Form 656 to compromise your responsibility for the joint tax debt.

Each Form 656 will require the $205 application fee and initial payment unless you are an individual and meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines.

If You Owe Individual and Business Tax Debt

If you have individual and business tax debt that you wish to compromise, you will need to send in two Forms 656. Complete one Form 656 for your individual tax debt(s) and one Form 656 for your business tax debt(s). Each Form 656 will require the $205 application fee and initial payment.

Note: A business is defined as a corporation, partnership, or any business that is operated as other than a sole-proprietorship. You may not compromise an individual's share of a partnership debt. The partnership must submit its own offer based on the partnership's and partners' ability to pay.

COMPLETING THE APPLICATION PACKAGE To calculate an offer amount, you will need to gather information about your financial situation, including cash, investments, available credit, assets, income, and debt. You will also need to gather information about your household's average gross monthly income and expenses. The household includes all those in addition to yourself who contribute money to pay expenses relating to the household such as: rent, utilities, insurance, groceries, etc. This is necessary for the IRS to accurately evaluate your offer. The IRS may also use this to determine your share of the total household income and expenses. In general, the IRS will not consider expenses for tuition for private schools, college expenses, charitable contributions, and other unsecured debt payments as part of the expense calculation.

Step 1 – Gather Your Information

Step 2 – Fill out Form 433-A (OIC), Collection Information Statement for Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals

Fill out Form 433-A (OIC) if you are an individual wage earner, operate or operated as a sole proprietor, or are authorized to submit an offer on behalf of the estate of a deceased individual. This will assist in the calculation of an appropriate offer amount based on your assets, income, expenses, and future earning potential. If you are married but living separately from your spouse then you each must submit a Form 433-A (OIC). If the IRS requests information that is not provided by a spouse, then the IRS may choose to return the offer.

Step 3 – Fill out Form 433-B (OIC), Collection Information Statement for Businesses

Fill out Form 433-B (OIC) if the business is a Corporation, Partnership, or LLC. This will assist in the calculation of an appropriate offer amount based on the business assets, income, expenses, and future earning potential. If the business has assets used to produce income (for example, a tow truck used in the business for towing vehicles), the IRS may allow the business to exclude equity in these assets.

Step 4 – Attach Required Documentation

You will need to attach supporting documentation with Form(s) 433-A (OIC) and 433-B (OIC). See a list of the documents required at the end of each form. Include copies of all required attachments. Do not send original documents.

Step 5 – Fill out Form 656, Offer in Compromise

Fill out Form 656. The Form 656 identifies the tax years and type of tax you would like to compromise. It also identifies your offer amount and the payment terms. Your offer amount must be equal to or greater than the amount calculated in Form 433-A(OIC) or 433-B(OIC).

Step 6 – Include Initial Payment and $205 Application Fee

Include a personal check, cashier's check, or money order for your initial payment based on the payment option you selected (20% of the offer amount for a lump sum offer or the first month's payment for a periodic payment offer). Generally, initial payments will not be returned but will be applied to your tax debt if your offer is not accepted. If you choose to pay the fee and offer payment by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order, provide a separate personal check, cashier’s check, or money order for each fee and offer payment you submit. Make checks or money orders in U.S. dollars and payable to the "United States Treasury." As an alternative to checks or money orders, you may pay the fee and offer payment electronically through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. Individual taxpayers may also pay the fee and offer payment via Individual Online Account. Reminder: If you meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines DO NOT send any money.

Step 7 – Send the Application Package

Make a copy of your application package and keep it for your records. Send the completed application package to the appropriate IRS facility. See page 29, Application Checklist, for details. If you are an individual taxpayer, you may also file your OIC via Individual Online Account (IOLA). Note: If you are working with an IRS employee, let them know you are sending or have sent an offer to compromise your tax debt(s).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION After You Send Your Application: We will contact you after we receive and review your offer application. Promptly

reply to any requests for additional information within the time frame specified. Failure to reply timely will result in the return of your offer without appeal rights.

If we accept your offer, you must continue to timely file all required tax returns and timely pay all estimated tax payments and federal tax payments that become due in the future. If you fail to timely file and timely pay any tax obligations that become due within the five years after your offer acceptance we may default your offer. If we default your offer, you will be liable for the original tax debt, less payments made, and all accrued interest and penalties. An offer does not stop the accrual of interest and penalties. Please note that if your final payment is more than the agreed amount, we will not return the money but will apply it to your tax debt.

In addition, we may default your offer if you fail to promptly pay any tax debts assessed after acceptance of your offer for any tax years prior to acceptance that were not included in your original offer.

Do you qualify for Low-Income Certification? You qualify if your adjusted gross income, as determined by your most recently filed Individual Income Tax return (Form 1040) or your household’s gross monthly income from Form 433-A(OIC) x 12, is equal to or less than the amount shown in the chart below based on your family size and where you live. If you qualify, you are not required to submit any payments or the application fee upon submission or during the consideration of your offer.

Section 3 Reason for Offer Select only ONE of the three check boxes below.

Doubt as to Collectibility - I do not have enough in assets and income to pay my full tax liability. I have offered the minimum offer amount calculated on Form 433-A(OIC) and/or Form 433-B(OIC).

Note: If you have special circumstances which would prevent you from paying the minimum offer amount calculated on Form 433-A (OIC) due to economic hardship attach a detailed explanation.

Effective Tax Administration - Economic Hardship - I have enough in assets and income to pay my full tax liability but due to my special circumstances, requiring full payment would cause an economic hardship. I owe this tax liability. (Only individuals qualify for this consideration). Attach a detailed explanation.

Effective Tax Administration - Public Policy or Equity - I have enough in assets and income to pay my full tax liability but collection of the full liability could be viewed as inequitable. I owe this tax liability. The amount I am offering is based on my exceptional circumstances, not economic hardship. Example: A payroll service provider misappropriated taxes withheld from my employees. Attach a detailed explanation.

Section 4 Payment Terms Check only one of the payment options below to indicate how long it will take you to pay your offer in full. You must

offer more than $0. The offer amount should be in whole dollars only. Lump Sum

Check here if you will pay your offer in 5 or fewer payments within 5 or fewer months from the date of acceptance:

Enclose a check for 20% of the offer amount (waived if you met the requirements for Low-Income Certification) and fill in the amount(s) of your future payment(s).

Total offer amount - 20% initial payment = Remaining balance

$ - $ = $ You may pay the remaining balance in one payment after acceptance of the offer or up to five payments, but cannot exceed 5 months.

Amount of payment $ payable within Month after acceptance

Amount of payment $ payable within Months after acceptance

Amount of payment $ payable within Months after acceptance

Amount of payment $ payable within Months after acceptance

Amount of payment $ payable within Months after acceptance

You must continue to make these monthly payments while the IRS is considering the offer (waived if you met the requirements for Low- Income Certification). Failure to make regular monthly payments until you have received a final decision letter will cause your offer to be returned with no appeal rights. If you qualified under the Low-Income Certification and are not required to submit payments while the offer is under consideration, your first payment will be due 30 calendar days after acceptance of the offer, unless another date is agreed to in an amended offer.

Periodic Payment

Check here if you will pay your offer in full in 6 to 24 months Enter the amount of your offer $

Note: The total months may not exceed a total of 24. For example, if you are requesting your payments extend for 24 months then your first payment is considered to be month 1 and your last payment is considered month 24. There will be 22 payments between the first and last month. Enclose a check for the first month's payment (waived if you met the requirements for Low-Income Certification).

The first monthly payment of $ is included with this offer then $ will be paid on the (pick number 1-28)

day of each month thereafter for months with a final payment of $ to be paid on the day of the month.

If you want the IRS to apply your payment to a specific tax year and a specific tax debt, such as employment taxes or a Trust Fund Recovery

If you want to designate any future payments not included with this Form 656 while the offer is pending [see section 7(j) below] with the IRS, you must include the specific tax year and type of tax at the time each payment is made. However, you cannot designate the application fee or any payment after the IRS accepts the offer.

Note: Payments submitted with your offer cannot be designated as estimated tax payments for a current or past tax year.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) Or Individual Online Account (IOLA) List offer payments made through Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or Individual Online Account (IOLA) below.

Make checks payable to the “United States Treasury” and attach to the front of your Form 656, Offer in Compromise. All payments must be in U.S. dollars. Do not send cash. Send a separate application fee with each offer; do not combine it with any other tax payments, as this may delay processing of your offer. You may also make payments electronically through Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). Individual taxpayers may also make OIC payments via Individual Online Account. Your offer will be returned to you if the application fee and the required payment are not included, or if your check is returned for insufficient funds.

Section 7 Offer Terms By submitting this offer, I have read, understand and agree to the following terms and conditions: Terms, Conditions, and Legal Agreement

a) I request that the IRS accept the offer amount listed in this offer application as payment of my outstanding tax debt arising under Title 26 (including interest, penalties, and any additional amounts required by law) as of the date listed on this form. I authorize the IRS to amend Section 1 or Section 2 if I failed to list any of my assessed tax debt or tax debt assessed before acceptance of my offer. By submitting a joint offer, both signers grant approval to the Internal Revenue Service to disclose the existence of any separate liabilities owed.

b) I also authorize the IRS to amend Section 1 or Section 2 by removing any tax years on which there is currently no outstanding liability. I understand that my offer will be accepted, by law, unless the IRS notifies me otherwise, in writing, within 24 months of the date my offer was received by our IRS centralized offer in compromise unit, located in Memphis/Brookhaven. See mailing instructions on page 29 of Form 656-B for offers that are mailed. Individual taxpayers may file offers through Individual Online Account (IOLA). The 24-month period for a deemed acceptance will not begin to run until the correct site receives the offer. I also understand that if any tax debt that is included in the offer is in dispute in any judicial proceeding that tax debt will not be included in determining the expiration of the 24-month period. I instruct the IRS to disregard any period on my Form 656 for court ordered restitution or under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice.

Catalog Number 16728N www.irs.gov Form 656 (Rev. 4-2025)

Page 5 Section 7 (Continued) Offer Terms

c) I voluntarily submit the payments made on this offer and understand that they will not be returned even if I withdraw the offer or the IRS rejects or returns the offer. Unless I designate how to apply each required payment in Section 5, the IRS will apply my payment in the best interest of the government, choosing which tax years and tax debts to pay off. The IRS will also keep my application fee unless the offer is not accepted for processing.

IRS will keep my payments, fees, and some refunds.

d) I understand that if I checked the Low-Income Certification in Section 1, then no payments are required. If I qualify for the Low-Income Certification and voluntarily submit payments, all money will be applied to my tax debt and will not be returned to me.

e) Treas. Reg. section 301.7122(e)(5) states, in part, that acceptance of an offer in compromise will conclusively settle the liability for the tax periods specified in the offer. To enforce the regulation as a contract term, I agree that I cannot file an amended return for the tax years listed on Form 656 after the offer is accepted. Further, I agree that I will not file an amended return for the tax years listed on Form 656 after I have submitted my offer and while my offer remains pending [see section 7(j) below] with the Service. The filing of the amended return could be considered grounds for termination. In addition, any refunds related to an amended return filed for a tax year which has an ending date prior to offer acceptance will be offset to the tax liability. If I receive a refund prior to offer acceptance, or based on an amended return for any tax periods extending to the date my offer is accepted, I will return the refund within 30 days of receiving the refund. The IRS will keep any refund, including interest, that I might be due for tax assessed before the date the IRS accepts my offer. Systemic offset of overpayments will continue in accordance with IRC 6402(a) prior to the offer acceptance date. I understand that my tax refund may be offset to the tax liability while the offer is pending, but that assistance could be available for taxpayers (other than businesses) facing an economic hardship.

f) I understand that the amount I am offering may not include part or all of an expected or current tax refund, money already paid, funds attached by any collection action, or anticipated benefits from a capital or net operating loss.

g) The IRS will keep any monies it has collected prior to this offer. Under section 6331(k), the IRS may levy on my property and rights to property up to the time that the IRS official signs and acknowledges my offer as pending. The IRS may keep any proceeds arising from such a levy. No levy will be issued on individual shared responsibility payments. However, if the IRS served a continuous levy on wages, salary, or certain federal payments under sections 6331(e) or (h), then the IRS could choose to either retain or release the levy.

h) The IRS will keep any payments that I make related to this offer. I agree that any funds submitted with this offer will be treated as a payment. I also agree that any funds submitted with periodic payments made after the submission of this offer and prior to the acceptance, rejection, or return of this offer will be treated as payments.

i) If my offer is accepted and my final payment is more than the agreed amount, the IRS will not return the difference, but will apply the entire payment to my tax debt.

j) Once an authorized IRS official signs this form, my offer is considered pending as of that signature date and it remains pending until the IRS accepts, rejects, or returns my offer, or I withdraw my offer. An offer is also considered pending for 30 days after any rejection of my offer by the IRS, and during the time that any rejection of my offer is being considered by the Appeals Office. An offer will be considered withdrawn when the IRS receives my written notification of withdrawal by personal delivery or certified mail or when I inform the IRS of my withdrawal by other means and the IRS acknowledges in writing my intent to withdraw the offer. For joint offers in compromise, if one spouse withdraws the offer, the offer will be considered to be withdrawn.

Pending status of an offer and right to appeal

k) I waive the right to an Appeals hearing if I do not request a hearing in writing within 30 days of the date the IRS notifies me of the decision to reject the offer.

l) As both an express condition and as a contractual promise, I will strictly comply with all provisions of the internal revenue laws, including requirements to timely file tax returns and timely pay taxes for the five year period beginning with the date of acceptance of this offer and ending through the fifth year. I agree to promptly pay any liabilities assessed after acceptance of this offer for tax years ending prior to acceptance of this offer that were not otherwise identified in Section 1 or Section 2 of this agreement. I also understand that during the five year period I cannot request an installment agreement for unpaid taxes incurred before or after the accepted offer. I understand that I cannot request an offer for a tax liability during the five year period. If this is an offer being submitted for joint tax debt, and one of us does not comply with future obligations, only the non-compliant taxpayer will be in default of this agreement. An accepted offer will not be defaulted solely due to the assessment of an individual shared responsibility payment. I understand failure to pay any restitution-based assessments will provide basis for the default of my offer acceptance for administrative tax periods included on this Form 656.

I must comply with my future tax obligations and understand I remain liable for the full amount of my tax debt until all terms and conditions of this offer have been met.

m) I agree that I will remain liable for the full amount of the tax liability, accrued penalties and interest, until I have met all of the terms and conditions of this offer. Penalties and interest will continue to accrue until all payment terms of the offer have been met. If I file for bankruptcy before the terms and conditions of the offer are met, I agree that the IRS may file a claim for the full amount of the tax liability, accrued penalties and interest, and that any claim the IRS files in the bankruptcy proceeding will be a tax claim.

n) Once the IRS accepts my offer in writing, I have no right to challenge the tax debt(s) in court or by filing a refund claim or refund suit for any liability or period listed in Section 1 or Section 2, even if the IRS defaults or rescinds the offer.

Catalog Number 16728N www.irs.gov Form 656 (Rev. 4-2025)

Page 6 Section 7 (Continued) Offer Terms

o) If I fail to meet any of the terms of this offer, the IRS may revoke the certificate of release of federal tax lien and file a new notice of federal tax lien; levy or sue me to collect any amount ranging from one or more missed payments to the original amount of the tax debt (less payments made) plus penalties and interest that have accrued from the time the underlying tax liability arose. The IRS will continue to add interest, as required by section 6601 of the Internal Revenue Code, on the amount the IRS determines is due after default. I agree that if I provide false information or documents in conjunction with this offer or conceal my assets or my ability to pay, then the IRS may reopen my offer and exercise its discretion in the further treatment of the offer, including a termination of the offer contract. If the IRS terminates my offer contract, I will be liable for the full amount of the tax liability, accrued penalties and interest.

I understand what will happen if I fail to meet the terms of my offer (e.g., default).

p) To have my offer considered, I agree to the extension of the time limit provided by law to assess my tax debt (statutory period of assessment). I agree that the date by which the IRS must assess my tax debt will now be the date by which my debt must currently be assessed plus the period of time my offer is pending plus one additional year if the IRS rejects, returns, or terminates my offer or I withdraw it. (Paragraph (j) of this section defines pending and withdrawal.) I understand that I have the right not to waive the statutory period of assessment or to limit the waiver to a certain length or certain periods or issues. I understand, however, that the IRS may not consider my offer if I refuse to waive the statutory period of assessment or if I provide only a limited waiver. I also understand that the statutory period for collecting my tax debt will be suspended during the time my offer is pending with the IRS, for 30 days after any rejection of my offer by the IRS, and during the time that any rejection of my offer is being considered by the Independent Office of Appeals. By submitting this offer I immediately withdraw any pending installment agreement that is on file for all tax periods and I understand a pending installment agreement (an installment agreement that has been accepted for processing but the IRS has not accepted its terms) will not be automatically reinstated after the offer is closed.

I agree to waive time limits provided by law.

q) The IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien during consideration of the offer or for offers that will be paid over time. If the offer is accepted, the tax lien(s) for the periods and taxes listed in Section 1 will generally be released within 45 days after the final payment has been received and verified. The time it takes to transfer funds to the IRS from commercial institutions varies based on the form of payment. If I have not finished paying my offer amount, then the IRS may be entitled to any proceeds from the sale of my property. The IRS will not file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on any individual shared responsibility debt.

I understand the IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on my property.

r) I authorize the IRS to correct any typographical or clerical errors or make minor modifications to my Form 656 that I signed in connection to this offer.

Correction Agreement

s) By authorizing the IRS to contact third parties, I understand that I will not be notified of which third parties the IRS contacts as part of the offer application process, including tax periods that have not been assessed, as stated in §7602 (c ) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, I authorize the IRS to request a consumer report on me from a credit bureau.

I authorize the IRS to contact relevant third parties in order to process my offer.

t) I understand if the liability sought to be compromised is the joint and individual liability of myself and my co- obligor(s) and I am submitting this offer to compromise my individual liability only, then if this offer is accepted, it does not release or discharge my co-obligor(s) from liability. The United States still reserves all rights of collection against the co-obligor(s).

I am submitting an offer as an individual for a joint liability.

u) If your offer includes any shared responsibility payment (SRP) amount that you owe for not having minimum essential health coverage for you and, if applicable, your dependents per Internal Revenue Code Section 5000A - Individual shared responsibility payment, it is not subject to penalties (except applicable bad check penalty) or to lien and levy enforcement actions. However, interest will continue to accrue until you pay the total SRP balance due. We may apply your federal tax refunds to the SRP amount that you owe until it is paid in full.

I understand the IRS Shared Responsibility Payment (SRP).

v) The IRS is required to make certain information, such as taxpayer name, city/state/zip, liability amount, and offer terms, available for public inspection and review for one year after the date of offer acceptance.

I understand the IRS is required to make certain information public.

w) By sending and receiving encrypted messages through the IRS Secure Messaging platform, I agree to accept offer final determination letters on this platform.

Secure Messaging

x) If I submit a joint offer in compromise, it will remain joint unless both my spouse and I submit amended Forms 656.

I understand that my joint offer in compromise will remain joint.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

What is an Offer?

An Offer in Compromise (offer) is an agreement between you (the taxpayer) and  the IRS that settles a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. The offer  program provides eligible taxpayers an opportunity to resolve their tax debt. The ultimate goal is a compromise that suits the best interest of both the taxpayer and the IRS. Generally, you must make an appropriate offer based on what the IRS considers your ability to pay.

Submitting an application does not ensure that the IRS will accept your offer. It begins a process of evaluation and verification by the IRS, taking into consideration any special circumstances that may affect your ability to pay.

Are You Eligible?

Before your offer can be considered, you must (1) file all tax returns you are legally required to file, (2) have received a bill for at least one tax debt included on your offer, (3) make all required estimated tax payments for the current year, and (4)  if you are a business owner with employees, make all required federal tax deposits for the current quarter and the two preceding quarters.

Note: If it is determined you have not filed all tax returns you are legally required to file, the IRS will apply any initial payment you sent with your offer to your tax debt and return both your offer and application fee to you. You cannot appeal this decision.

Bankruptcy, Open Audit, Innocent Spouse Claim, or Deactivated ITIN

If you or your business is currently in an open bankruptcy proceeding, you are not eligible to apply for an offer. Any resolution of your outstanding tax debts generally must take place within the context of your bankruptcy proceeding.

Resolve any open audit or outstanding innocent spouse claim issues before submitting an offer.

We will not consider an offer with a deactivated ITIN. If you have a deactivated ITIN, please complete the Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, and have it reactivated. Once the reactivation is completed, you may submit an Offer in Compromise. 

Can You Pay in Full?

Generally, the IRS will not accept an offer if you can pay your tax debt in full through an installment agreement and/or equity in assets. 

Note: Adjustments or exclusions, which may be considered during the offer investigation, such as allowance of $1,000 to a bank balance or $3,450 against the value of a car, are only applied if you are an individual and after we determine you cannot full pay the liabilities from equity in assets, an installment agreement, or a combination of both.

Your Tax Refunds

The IRS may keep any tax period refund, including interest, for a tax return assessed before the date the IRS accepts your offer by offsetting it against your tax debt, as applicable. For example, you file your 2021 Form 1040 on April 15, 2022; the IRS assesses the overpayment on May 26, 2022, triggering an offset; and the IRS accepts your offer on July 1, 2022. Because the IRS offset the overpayment prior to the acceptance of the offer, the overpayment will be used to reduce your outstanding tax liability. Since your tax refund may be offset to the tax liability while the offer is pending, assistance from Taxpayer Advocate or the IRS at 800-829-1040 could be available for taxpayers (other than businesses) facing economic hardship. The refund is not considered as a payment toward your offer. 

Doubt as to Liability

If you have a legitimate doubt that you owe part or all of the tax debt, complete and submit a Form 656-L, Offer in Compromise (Doubt as to Liability). To request a Form 656-L, visit IRS.gov or a local IRS office or call toll-free 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Note: Do not submit both an offer under Doubt as to Liability and an offer under Doubt as to Collectibility or Effective Tax Administration at the same time. You must resolve any doubt you owe part or all of the tax debt before submitting an offer based on your ability to pay.

1

Notice of Federal Tax Lien

A lien is a legal claim against all your current and future property. When you don’t pay your first bill for taxes due, a lien is created by law and attaches to your property. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) provides public notice to creditors. The IRS files the NFTL to establish priority of the IRS claim versus the claims of certain other creditors. The IRS may file a NFTL at any time. You may be entitled to file an appeal under the Collection Appeals Program (CAP) before this occurs or request a Collection Due Process hearing after this occurs. The IRS may be entitled to any proceeds from the sale of property subject to the lien(s). If you sell the property prior to the release of the lien, excess property sale proceeds may be applied to your tax liability, even if your offer has been accepted.

Trust Fund Taxes

If your business owes liabilities that include trust fund taxes, the IRS may hold responsible individuals liable for the trust fund portion of the tax pursuant to applicable law. Trust fund taxes are the money withheld from an employee's wages, such as income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes. If the IRS accepts an offer from an employer for a portion of the trust fund tax liability, the remainder of the trust fund taxes may be collected from the responsible parties. Your business is not eligible for consideration of an offer unless you meet IRS criteria, including the trust fund portion of the tax is paid, or the IRS has made the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty determination(s) on all potentially responsible individual(s). However, if you are submitting the offer as a victim of payroll service provider fraud or failure, the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty assessment discussed above is not required prior to submitting the offer. 

Other Important Facts

You have the right to appeal an offer rejection, but not the return of an offer.

Penalties and interest will continue to accrue while your offer is considered by the IRS. 

After you submit your offer, you must continue to timely file and pay all required tax returns, estimated tax payments, and federal tax payments for yourself and any business in which you have an interest. Failure to meet your filing and payment responsibilities during consideration of your offer will result in the IRS returning your offer. If the IRS accepts your offer, you must continue to stay current with all tax filing and payment obligations through the fifth year after your offer is accepted.

Note: If you have filed your tax returns but you have not received a bill for at least one tax debt included on your offer, your offer and application fee may be returned and any initial payment sent with your offer will be applied to your tax debt. To prevent the return of your offer, wait until you have received a bill for at least one tax debt and then include a copy of any tax return filed within 10 weeks of this offer submission.

We can't process your offer if the IRS referred your case involving all tax periods to the Department of Justice. In addition, we cannot compromise any tax liability arising from a restitution amount ordered by a court or a tax debt reduced to judgment. Furthermore, we will not compromise any IRC § 965 tax liability for which an election was made under IRC § 965(i). You cannot appeal this decision.

The law requires the IRS to make certain information from accepted offers  available for public inspection and review. Find instructions to request a public inspection file at IRS.gov key words "public inspection file."

The IRS may levy your assets up to the time the IRS official signs and acknowledges your offer as pending. In addition, the IRS may keep any proceeds received from the levy. If your assets are levied after your offer is submitted and under consideration, immediately contact the IRS at the phone number listed on the levy. 

If you currently have an approved installment agreement, you will not be required to make your installment agreement payments while we consider your offer. If your offer is not accepted and you have not incurred any additional tax debt, the IRS will reinstate your installment agreement.

PAYING FOR YOUR OFFER

Application Fee

Offers require a $205 application fee. 

Exception: If you are an individual and meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines, there is no requirement to submit any offer payments or the application fee upon submission or during the consideration of your offer. You are considered an individual if you are seeking compromise of a liability for which you are personally responsible, including any liability you incurred as a sole proprietor. 

Payment Options

You must select a payment option and include the initial payment with your offer. The amount of the initial payment and subsequent payments will depend on the total amount of your offer and which of the following payment options you choose:

Lump Sum: This option requires 20% of the total offer amount to be paid  with the offer and the remaining balance paid in 5 or fewer payments within 5 or  fewer months of the date your offer is accepted. 

Periodic Payment: This option requires you to make the first payment with the offer and the remaining balance paid in monthly payments within 6 to 24 months, in accordance with your proposed offer terms. 

Note: Under the periodic payment option, you must continue to make monthly payments while the IRS is evaluating your offer. If you fail to make these payments at any time prior to receiving a final decision letter, the IRS may return your offer. You cannot appeal this decision. Total payments must equal the total offer amount. Generally, payments made on an offer will not be returned.

The initial payment and monthly payments are not required if you meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines. If you qualified under the Low-Income Certification and are not required to submit payments while the offer is under consideration, your first payment will be due 30 calendar days after acceptance of the offer, unless another date is agreed to in an amended offer. 

If you do not have sufficient cash to pay for your offer, you may need to consider  borrowing money from a bank, friends, and/or family. Other options may include  borrowing against or selling other assets. 

If you are an individual, use the OIC Pre-Qualifier tool at IRS.gov/OICtool to assist in determining a starting point for your offer amount. You may also use the OIC eligibility check on Individual Online Account (IOLA).

Note: You may not pay your offer amount with an expected or current tax refund, money already paid, funds attached by any collection action, or anticipated benefits from a capital or net operating loss. If you are planning to use your retirement savings from an IRA or 401k  plan, you may have future tax debt as a result. Contact the IRS or your tax advisor before taking this action.

If You and Your Spouse Owe 

Joint and Separate Tax Debts

If you and your spouse have joint tax debt(s) and you or your spouse are also responsible for separate tax debt(s) (including Trust Fund Recovery Penalty), you will each need to send in a separate Form 656. You will complete one Form 656 for yourself listing all your joint and any separate tax debt(s) and your spouse will complete one Form 656 listing all their joint and any separate tax debt(s), for a total of two Forms 656.

If you and your spouse or ex-spouse have a joint tax debt and your spouse or ex- spouse does not want to be part of the offer, you may submit a Form 656 to compromise your responsibility for the joint tax debt.

Each Form 656 will require the $205 application fee and initial payment unless you are an individual and meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines. 

If You Owe Individual and 

Business Tax Debt

If you have individual and business tax debt that you wish to compromise, you will  need to send in two Forms 656. Complete one Form 656 for your individual tax  debt(s) and one Form 656 for your business tax debt(s). Each Form 656 will require  the $205 application fee and initial payment.

Note: A business is defined as a corporation, partnership, or any business  that is operated as other than a sole-proprietorship. You may not compromise an individual's share of a partnership debt. The partnership must submit its own offer based on the partnership's and partners' ability to pay.

COMPLETING THE APPLICATION PACKAGE

To calculate an offer amount, you will need to gather information about your  financial situation, including cash, investments, available credit, assets, income,  and debt. 

You will also need to gather information about your household's average gross monthly income and expenses. The household includes all those in addition to yourself who contribute money to pay expenses relating to the household such as: rent, utilities, insurance, groceries, etc. This is necessary for the IRS to accurately evaluate your offer. The IRS may also use this to determine your share of the total household income and expenses.

In general, the IRS will not consider expenses for tuition for private schools,  college expenses, charitable contributions, and other unsecured debt payments as part of the expense calculation. 

Step 1 – Gather Your Information

.\oic_pre_qualifier.png

IRS.gov/OICtool

Step 2 – Fill out Form 433-A   (OIC), Collection Information  Statement for Wage Earners and  Self-Employed Individuals 

Fill out Form 433-A (OIC) if you are an individual wage earner, operate or operated as a sole proprietor, or are authorized to submit an offer on behalf of the estate of a deceased individual. This will assist in the calculation of an appropriate offer amount based on your assets, income, expenses, and future earning potential. If you are married but living separately from your spouse then you each must submit a Form 433-A (OIC). If the IRS requests information that is not provided by a spouse, then the IRS may choose to return the offer.

Step 3 – Fill out Form 433-B (OIC),   Collection Information Statement   for Businesses

Fill out Form 433-B (OIC) if the business is a Corporation, Partnership, or LLC. This will assist in the calculation of an appropriate offer amount based on the business assets, income, expenses, and future earning potential. If the business has assets used to produce income (for example, a tow truck used in the business for towing vehicles), the IRS may allow the business to exclude equity in these assets.

Step 4 – Attach Required  Documentation

You will need to attach supporting documentation with Form(s) 433-A (OIC) and  433-B (OIC). See a list of the documents required at the end of each  form. Include copies of all required attachments. Do not send original documents. 

Step 5 – Fill out Form 656, Offer 

in Compromise

Fill out Form 656. The Form 656 identifies the tax years and type of tax you would like to compromise. It also identifies your offer amount and the payment terms. Your offer amount must be equal to or greater than the amount calculated in Form 433-A(OIC) or 433-B(OIC).

Step 6 – Include Initial Payment  and $205 Application Fee 

Include a personal check, cashier's check, or money order for your initial payment  based on the payment option you selected (20% of the offer amount for a lump sum offer or the first month's payment for a periodic payment offer). Generally, initial payments will not be returned but will be applied to your tax debt if your offer is not accepted. 

If you choose to pay the fee and offer payment by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order, provide a separate personal check, cashier’s check, or money order for each fee and offer payment you submit. Make checks or money orders in U.S. dollars and payable to the "United States Treasury." As an alternative to checks or money orders, you may pay the fee and offer payment electronically through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. Individual taxpayers may also pay the fee and offer payment via Individual Online Account.

Reminder: If you meet the Low-Income Certification guidelines DO NOT send any money.

Step 7 – Send the Application   Package 

Make a copy of your application package and keep it for your records. 

Send the completed application package to the appropriate IRS facility. See page 29, Application Checklist, for details. If you are an individual taxpayer, you may also file your OIC via Individual Online Account (IOLA). 

Note: If you are working with an IRS employee, let them know you are  sending or have sent an offer to compromise your tax debt(s).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

After You Send Your Application:

We will contact you after we receive and review your offer application. Promptly reply to any requests for additional information within the time frame specified. Failure to reply timely will result in the return of your offer without appeal rights.

If we accept your offer, you must continue to timely file all required tax returns and timely pay all estimated tax payments and federal tax payments that become due in the future. If you fail to timely file and timely pay any tax obligations that become due within the five years after your offer acceptance we may default your offer. If we default your offer, you will be liable for the original tax debt, less payments made, and all accrued interest and penalties. An offer does not stop the accrual of interest and penalties. Please note that if your final payment is more than the agreed amount, we will not return the money but will apply it to your tax debt. 

In addition, we may default your offer if you fail to promptly pay any tax debts assessed after acceptance of your offer for any tax years prior to acceptance that were not included in your original offer.

Note: By checking one of the boxes below you are certifying that your adjusted gross income or your household’s gross monthly income x 12 and size of your family qualify you for the Low-Income Certification.

I qualify for the Low-Income Certification because my adjusted gross income for my household's size is equal to or less than the amount shown in the table below.

I qualify for the Low-Income Certification because my household's size and gross monthly income x 12 is equal to or less than the income shown in the table below.

IF YOU QUALIFY FOR THE LOW-INCOME CERTIFICATION DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PAYMENTS WITH YOUR OFFER. Generally these payments will not be returned and will be applied to the tax liability in the best interest of the government.

Reason for Offer

Select only ONE of the three check boxes below.

Doubt as to Collectibility - I do not have enough in assets and income to pay my full tax liability. I have offered the minimum offer amount calculated on Form 433-A(OIC) and/or Form 433-B(OIC).

Note: If you have special circumstances which would prevent you from paying the minimum offer amount calculated on Form 433-A (OIC) due to economic hardship attach a detailed explanation.

Effective Tax Administration - Economic Hardship - I have enough in assets and income to pay my full tax liability but due to my special circumstances, requiring full payment would cause an economic hardship. I owe this tax liability. (Only individuals qualify for this consideration). Attach a detailed explanation.

Effective Tax Administration - Public Policy or Equity - I have enough in assets and income to pay my full tax liability but collection of the full liability could be viewed as inequitable. I owe this tax liability. The amount I am offering is based on my exceptional circumstances, not economic hardship. Example: A payroll service provider misappropriated taxes withheld from my employees. Attach a detailed explanation.

You must continue to make these monthly payments while the IRS is considering the offer (waived if you met the requirements for Low-Income Certification). Failure to make regular monthly payments until you have received a final decision letter will cause your offer to be returned with no appeal rights. If you qualified under the Low-Income Certification and are not required to submit payments while the offer is under consideration, your first payment will be due 30 calendar days after acceptance of the offer, unless another date is agreed to in an amended offer. 

Periodic Payment

Note: The total months may not exceed a total of 24. For example, if you are requesting your payments extend for 24 months then your first payment is considered to be month 1 and your last payment is considered month 24. There will be 22 payments between the first and last month.

Designation of Payment and Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS)

Designation of Payment

If you want the IRS to apply your payment to a specific tax year and a specific tax debt, such as employment taxes or a Trust Fund Recovery

Penalty, tell us the tax period/quarter 

. If you are not specific with your designation we will apply any money you send to the

government's best interest. If you want to designate any future payments not included with this Form 656 while the offer is pending [see section 7(j) below] with the IRS, you must include the specific tax year and type of tax at the time each payment is made. However, you cannot designate the application fee or any payment after the IRS accepts the offer.

Note: Payments submitted with your offer cannot be designated as estimated tax payments for a current or past tax year.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) Or Individual Online Account (IOLA)

List offer payments made through Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or Individual Online Account (IOLA) below.

Note: Any Offer Application Fee or initial payment made electronically must be made the same date your offer is mailed or filed through Individual Online Account.

Source of Funds, Making Your Payment, Filing Requirements, and Tax Payment Requirements

Source of Funds

Tell us where you will obtain the funds to pay your offer

Making Your Payment

Include separate checks for the payment and application fee. Note: Checks apply to paper filed offers only. 

Make checks payable to the “United States Treasury” and attach to the front of your Form 656, Offer in Compromise. All payments must be in U.S.  dollars. Do not send cash. Send a separate application fee with each offer; do not combine it with any other tax payments, as this may delay  processing of your offer. You may also make payments electronically through Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). Individual taxpayers may also make OIC payments via Individual Online Account. Your offer will be returned to you if the application fee and the required payment are not included, or if your check is returned for insufficient funds. 

Filing Requirements

Note: Do not include original tax returns with your offer. If you send a copy of a tax return already filed, clearly mark it as a copy. You must either electronically file your tax return or mail it to the appropriate IRS processing office before sending in your offer.

Section 7

Offer Terms

By submitting this offer, I have read, understand and agree to the following terms and conditions:

Terms, Conditions, and Legal Agreement

a) I request that the IRS accept the offer amount listed in this offer application as payment of my outstanding tax debt arising under Title 26 (including interest, penalties, and any additional amounts required by law) as of the date listed on this form. I authorize the IRS to amend Section 1 or Section 2 if I failed to list any of my assessed tax debt or tax debt assessed before acceptance of my offer. By submitting a joint offer, both signers grant approval to the Internal Revenue Service to disclose the existence of any separate liabilities owed.

b) I also authorize the IRS to amend Section 1 or Section 2 by removing any tax years on which there is currently no outstanding liability. I understand that my offer will be accepted, by law, unless the IRS notifies me otherwise, in writing, within 24 months of the date my offer was received by our IRS centralized offer in compromise unit, located in Memphis/Brookhaven. See mailing instructions on page 29 of Form 656-B for offers that are mailed. Individual taxpayers may file offers through Individual Online Account (IOLA). The 24-month period for a deemed acceptance will not begin to run until the correct site receives the offer. I also understand that if any tax debt that is included in the offer is in dispute in any judicial proceeding that tax debt will not be included in determining the expiration of the 24-month period. I instruct the IRS to disregard any period on my Form 656 for court ordered restitution or under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice.

Page 5

Section 7 (Continued)

Offer Terms

c) I voluntarily submit the payments made on this offer and understand that they will not be returned even if I withdraw the offer or the IRS rejects or returns the offer. Unless I designate how to apply each required payment in Section 5, the IRS will apply my payment in the best interest of the government, choosing which tax years and tax debts to pay off. The IRS will also keep my application fee unless the offer is not accepted for processing.

IRS will keep my payments, fees, and some refunds.

d) I understand that if I checked the Low-Income Certification in Section 1, then no payments are required. If I qualify for the Low-Income Certification and voluntarily submit payments, all money will be applied to my tax debt and will not be returned to me.

e) Treas. Reg. section 301.7122(e)(5) states, in part, that acceptance of an offer in compromise will conclusively settle the liability for the tax periods specified in the offer. To enforce the regulation as a contract term, I agree that I cannot file an amended return for the tax years listed on Form 656 after the offer is accepted. Further, I agree that I will not file an amended return for the tax years listed on Form 656 after I have submitted my offer and while my offer remains pending [see section 7(j) below] with the Service. The filing of the amended return could be considered grounds for termination. In addition, any refunds related to an amended return filed for a tax year which has an ending date prior to offer acceptance will be offset to the tax liability. If I receive a refund prior to offer acceptance, or based on an amended return for any tax periods extending to the date my offer is accepted, I will return the refund within 30 days of receiving the refund. The IRS will keep any refund, including interest, that I might be due for tax assessed before the date the IRS accepts my offer. Systemic offset of overpayments will continue in accordance with IRC 6402(a) prior to the offer acceptance date. I understand that my tax refund may be offset to the tax liability while the offer is pending, but that assistance could be available for taxpayers (other than businesses) facing an economic hardship.

f) I understand that the amount I am offering may not include part or all of an expected or current tax refund, money already paid, funds attached by any collection action, or anticipated benefits from a capital or net operating loss.

g) The IRS will keep any monies it has collected prior to this offer. Under section 6331(k), the IRS may levy on my property and rights to property up to the time that the IRS official signs and acknowledges my offer as pending. The IRS may keep any proceeds arising from such a levy. No levy will be issued on individual shared responsibility payments. However, if the IRS served a continuous levy on wages, salary, or certain federal payments under sections 6331(e) or (h), then the IRS could choose to either retain or release the levy.

h) The IRS will keep any payments that I make related to this offer. I agree that any funds submitted with this offer will be treated as a payment. I also agree that any funds submitted with periodic payments made after the submission of this offer and prior to the acceptance, rejection, or return of this offer will be treated as payments.

i) If my offer is accepted and my final payment is more than the agreed amount, the IRS will not return the difference, but will apply the entire payment to my tax debt.

j) Once an authorized IRS official signs this form, my offer is considered pending as of that signature date and it remains pending until the IRS accepts, rejects, or returns my offer, or I withdraw my offer. An offer is also considered pending for 30 days after any rejection of my offer by the IRS, and during the time that any rejection of my offer is being considered by the Appeals Office. An offer will be considered withdrawn when the IRS receives my written notification of withdrawal by personal delivery or certified mail or when I inform the IRS of my withdrawal by other means and the IRS acknowledges in writing my intent to withdraw the offer. For joint offers in compromise, if one spouse withdraws the offer, the offer will be considered to be withdrawn.

Pending status of an offer and right to appeal

k) I waive the right to an Appeals hearing if I do not request a hearing in writing within 30 days of the date the IRS notifies me of the decision to reject the offer.

l) As both an express condition and as a contractual promise, I will strictly comply with all provisions of the internal revenue laws, including requirements to timely file tax returns and timely pay taxes for the five year period beginning with the date of acceptance of this offer and ending through the fifth year. I agree to promptly pay any liabilities assessed after acceptance of this offer for tax years ending prior to acceptance of this offer that were not otherwise identified in Section 1 or Section 2 of this agreement. I also understand that during the five year period I cannot request an installment agreement for unpaid taxes incurred before or after the accepted offer. I understand that I cannot request an offer for a tax liability during the five year period. If this is an offer being submitted for joint tax debt, and one of us does not comply with future obligations, only the non-compliant taxpayer will be in default of this agreement. An accepted offer will not be defaulted solely due to the assessment of an individual shared responsibility payment. I understand failure to pay any restitution-based assessments will provide basis for the default of my offer acceptance for administrative tax periods included on this Form 656.

I must comply with my future tax obligations and understand I remain liable for the full amount of my tax debt until all terms and conditions of this offer have been met.

m) I agree that I will remain liable for the full amount of the tax liability, accrued penalties and interest, until I have met all of the terms and conditions of this offer. Penalties and interest will continue to accrue until all payment terms of the offer have been met. If I file for bankruptcy before the terms and conditions of the offer are met, I agree that the IRS may file a claim for the full amount of the tax liability, accrued penalties and interest, and that any claim the IRS files in the bankruptcy proceeding will be a tax claim.

n) Once the IRS accepts my offer in writing, I have no right to challenge the tax debt(s) in court or by filing a refund claim or refund suit for any liability or period listed in Section 1 or Section 2, even if the IRS defaults or rescinds the offer.

Page 6

Section 7 (Continued) 

Offer Terms

o) If I fail to meet any of the terms of this offer, the IRS may revoke the certificate of release of federal tax lien and file a new notice of federal tax lien; levy or sue me to collect any amount ranging from one or more missed payments to the original amount of the tax debt (less payments made) plus penalties and interest that have accrued from the time the underlying tax liability arose. The IRS will continue to add interest, as required by section 6601 of the Internal Revenue Code, on the amount the IRS determines is due after default. I agree that if I provide false information or documents in conjunction with this offer or conceal my assets or my ability to pay, then the IRS may reopen my offer and exercise its discretion in the further treatment of the offer, including a termination of the offer contract. If the IRS terminates my offer contract, I will be liable for the full amount of the tax liability, accrued penalties and interest.

I understand what will happen if I fail to meet the terms of my offer (e.g., default).

p) To have my offer considered, I agree to the extension of the time limit provided by law to assess my tax debt (statutory period of assessment). I agree that the date by which the IRS must assess my tax debt will now be the date by which my debt must currently be assessed plus the period of time my offer is pending plus one additional year if the IRS rejects, returns, or terminates my offer or I withdraw it. (Paragraph (j) of this section defines pending and withdrawal.) I understand that I have the right not to waive the statutory period of assessment or to limit the waiver to a certain length or certain periods or issues. I understand, however, that the IRS may not consider my offer if I refuse to waive the statutory period of assessment or if I provide only a limited waiver. I also understand that the statutory period for collecting my tax debt will be suspended during the time my offer is pending with the IRS, for 30 days after any rejection of my offer by the IRS, and during the time that any rejection of my offer is being considered by the Independent Office of Appeals. By submitting this offer I immediately withdraw any pending installment agreement that is on file for all tax periods and I understand a pending installment agreement (an installment agreement that has been accepted for processing but the IRS has not accepted its terms) will not be automatically reinstated after the offer is closed.

I agree to waive time limits provided by law.

q) The IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien during consideration of the offer or for offers that will be paid over time. If the offer is accepted, the tax lien(s) for the periods and taxes listed in Section 1 will generally be released within 45 days after the final payment has been received and verified. The time it takes to transfer funds to the IRS from commercial institutions varies based on the form of payment. If I have not finished paying my offer amount, then the IRS may be entitled to any proceeds from the sale of my property. The IRS will not file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on any individual shared responsibility debt.

I understand the IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on my property.

r) I authorize the IRS to correct any typographical or clerical errors or make minor modifications to my Form 656 that I signed in connection to this offer.

Correction Agreement

s) By authorizing the IRS to contact third parties, I understand that I will not be notified of which third parties the IRS contacts as part of the offer application process, including tax periods that have not been assessed, as stated in §7602 (c ) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, I authorize the IRS to request a consumer report on me from a credit bureau.

I authorize the IRS to contact relevant third parties in order to process my offer.

t) I understand if the liability sought to be compromised is the joint and individual liability of myself and my co-obligor(s) and I am submitting this offer to compromise my individual liability only, then if this offer is accepted, it does not release or discharge my co-obligor(s) from liability. The United States still reserves all rights of collection against the co-obligor(s).

I am submitting an offer as an individual for a joint liability.

u) If your offer includes any shared responsibility payment (SRP) amount that you owe for not having minimum essential health coverage for you and, if applicable, your dependents per Internal Revenue Code Section 5000A - Individual shared responsibility payment, it is not subject to penalties (except applicable bad check penalty) or to lien and levy enforcement actions. However, interest will continue to accrue until you pay the total SRP balance due. We may apply your federal tax refunds to the SRP amount that you owe until it is paid in full.

I understand the IRS Shared Responsibility Payment (SRP).

v) The IRS is required to make certain information, such as taxpayer name, city/state/zip, liability amount, and offer terms, available for public inspection and review for one year after the date of offer acceptance.

I understand the IRS is required to make certain information public.

w) By sending and receiving encrypted messages through the IRS Secure Messaging platform, I agree to accept offer final determination letters on this platform.

Secure Messaging

x) If I submit a joint offer in compromise, it will remain joint unless both my spouse and I submit amended Forms 656.

I understand that my joint offer in compromise will remain joint.
