can irs refund be negotiated
When Taxes Can Be Negotiated For Less & When They Canât. There are different types of IRS tax relief for people who owe back taxes. Income tax negotiation, or tax debt settlement, is sometimes used to satisfy a tax debt for less than the total amount owed. The formal name for this type of tax relief is an Offer in Compromise. Just because you owe back taxes does not mean you will be able to negotiate or settle the debt. Each personâs financial situation will be analyzed to determine eligibility for a tax settlement under an Offer in Compromise program, including assets, income, and living expenses.
