<prompt> Human: I dont mean with some radio commercial company, I mean by dealing straight with the IRS. I have a small corporation that owes 20k in payroll taxes. If I am able to pay it off in large payments do you think they will give me a break on penalties and interest?How do you go about asking for this break?  <response>: In general OICs only work in situations where the IRS has been convinced that an individual has a tax burden that is so over- sized, and their ability to pay so minimal, that they have effectively no reasonable chance of getting paid in the next several years - even if everything were liquidated right this second. If you could pay the bill by liquidating everything the company owns, you will not succeed in obtaining an OIC.Take a look at the forms that are required. Their calculations require selling dang near everything you own.
