Read about offer in compromise →Work from the actual notice
Keep the letter's pages and any relevant earlier correspondence. Mention the tax year, what seems unclear and whether there is a response date. Ask which assistance is proposed and what information would support it. If payment is also difficult, discuss that separately. The work, cost and next responsibilities should be understandable before you proceed.
What to expect when you call
A useful first conversation should explain the help available and what happens next.
1. Describe the issue
Explain the balance, IRS letter or payment difficulty you want addressed. Mention any date or instruction shown in a notice.
2. Discuss the proposed help
Ask which information is needed, what the work includes and how fees and responsibilities are explained.
3. Understand the next action
Clarify what you should provide, who handles follow-up and which current IRS requirements apply to the process.
Useful next steps
Eligibility, payment terms and IRS decisions depend on the applicable process and your circumstances. A conversation does not guarantee a particular outcome.
