Our Settlement Results – Compared to the National average as submitted to Congress by the IRS.

How does anyone find out what the IRS says the chances are for a successful offer in compromise? The answer is found in the annual report submitted to Congress by Taxpayer Advocate every year.

The Taxpayer Advocate Office (TAO) monitors IRS effectiveness for many programs and recommends changes to Congress every year. One of the programs monitored is the offer in compromise program.

A link to the offer in compromise section of the TAO report to Congress for year 2010 has been provided below. It always makes for interesting reading!

TAO offer statistics from 2000 - 2008

TAO reports never include acceptance percentages for offers deemed as not processible. These offer types are NEVER included in OIC acceptance data. They are ALWAYS SUBMITTED and ALWAYS REJECTED – which causes the actual acceptance rate for offers to drop much lower than those given by OIC to the TAO. The TAO office has actually proven this fact in prior year analyses.

Korntved & Associates has calculated the actual acceptance rate at 15-18% when ALL submitted offers are included in the acceptance calculation.
