Offer in Compromise: An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a program offered by the IRS that allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe, if you meet certain criteria. It’s designed for taxpayers who are unable to pay their full tax liability or doing so would create a financial hardship.
