What you should know before preparing an Offer in Compromise
Are you an OIC candidate?
The Offer in Compromise (OIC) program is for tax payers or feepayers that do not have, and will not have in the foreseeable future, the income, assets, or means to pay their liability in full. It allows a taxpayer or feepayer to offer a lesser amount for payment of a non-disputed final tax liability on a closed-out account. Effective January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2012, the OIC program will extend to qualified active businesses where the taxpayer or feepayer has not received tax or fee reimbursement for tax and fees owed to the State, to successors of busi nesses that may have inherited tax liabilities of the predecessors, and to consumers who incurred a use tax liability. A qualified active business is an active business that does not have, and will not have in the fore seeable future, the income, assets, or means to pay their non-disputed board assessed liability in full, where the Board of Equalization (BOE) finds no evidence that the taxpayer collected sales or use tax reimbursement, and the taxpayer has not previously received a compromise. Generally, we approve an OIC when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time. Although each case is evaluated based on its own merit, we give the following factors strong consid eration in the evaluation: · abilitytopay · equityintheentity'sassets · presentandfutureincome · presentandfutureexpenses · potentialforchangedcircumstances · concealmentofassetsorexistenceoffraud
