Frequently Asked Questions

How does the IRS use bank statements to evaluate an Offer in Compromise?

The IRS RCP calculation determines the minimum OIC amount: (Remaining Income × Months in collection period) + (Equity in assets). Export bank statements to Excel to identify: all bank account balances (counted as assets at full value), monthly income from all sources, and allowable monthly expenses per IRS standards. The net monthly income (income minus allowed expenses) multiplied by 12 or 24, plus bank balances, equals the minimum OIC amount. The IRS will independently verify the bank account balances by requesting your statements — presenting a clean, well-organized Excel export with accurate balances strengthens the application by showing transparency.

Can bank statements show financial hardship for OIC doubt-as-to-collectibility?

Yes. The IRS accepts OIC applications when it's unlikely that the full tax debt will ever be collected. Export 12 months of bank statements to Excel to document: chronically low bank balances (consistently near zero), income barely covering basic living expenses, no significant assets beyond exempt property, and monthly deficit spending. The bank statement pattern showing a taxpayer unable to build savings or pay down existing debts supports a compelling doubt-as-to-collectibility narrative. Work with a tax professional or Enrolled Agent to present the bank statement documentation effectively alongside the Form 656 OIC application.
