The offer in compromise is a much more complicated process than taxpayers can possibly imagine.
Much time is put in to the acceptance of an offer in compromise and IRS goes through great lengths of due diligence before it accepts an offer in compromise.

Believe it or not, only one person reviewed accepted offers in compromise at one regional site and to date this year, no one has reviewed any accepted offers in compromise.
2. It is much easier for an IRS agent to reject an offer in compromise into accepting why?, just sheer laziness, matter of fact an agent will look to reject an offer in compromise first as to accept it. It takes a lot more work to accept an offer in compromise because all the managerial reviews required.
3. An average offer in compromise takes anywhere between 20 to 40 hours to accept because of all the due diligence that is necessary for the program.
4. The offer in compromise group is a specialized group that goes through ask expansive training to understand the different nuances within the offer in compromise program and to make sure it legally can be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service.
5. The offer in compromise is a legal and binding contract between the taxpayer and the United States Department of treasury. it is wise for the taxpayer to become aware of the requirements if your offer is accepted. What I mean by this is that for the next five years you must pay all your taxes on time. Should you miss, your offer in compromise will kick back out to the field.
6. The smaller the dollar amount, the less work and effort is put into the offer in compromise. Large dollar cases require 2 to 3 times the amount of work that a small dollar case takes.
7. Last year, approximately one third of offers in compromise were accepted by the Internal Revenue Service. As a general rule, somewhere between 30 and 35,000 offers are accepted every year. The average settlement dollar is $9500 per offer. That dollar amount is misleading because it is an average and is not really reflective because the OIC is based on a case-by-case basis.
8. The Internal Revenue Service has a number of financial search engines they use to check the offer in compromise for the validity of doing due diligence. They can use the Accuriant search engine, the Google search engine and internal governmental search engines such as LEXIS-NEXIS and other ones used by the Department of Homeland Security the FBI as well as other agencies to do checks.
