Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Offer in Compromise, and do I qualify?

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) allows taxpayers to settle their IRS debt for less than the full amount owed, based on their ability to pay. The IRS evaluates your income, expenses, and asset equity using its Collection Financial Standards. Not everyone qualifies — the IRS accepts roughly 40% of OIC applications. A tax attorney can run your numbers in advance to assess whether an OIC is realistic or whether an installment agreement is a stronger path for your Cuyahoga County situation.

How long does IRS debt resolution take in Ohio?

Simple installment agreement requests can be established in two to four weeks through the IRS’s Online Payment Agreement portal. Offer in Compromise cases take six to twelve months for the IRS to process. Audit defense timelines vary by examination type: correspondence audits often resolve in 60 to 90 days, while field audits can extend a year or more. During the resolution period, properly filed cases typically pause active collection actions.

Can the IRS garnish my wages or levy my bank account in Ohio?

Yes. The IRS can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, and place liens on property once collection action begins — and Ohio has no state-level protection against federal tax levies. The IRS must first send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and provide 30 days to respond. Filing an installment agreement or OIC application before that deadline typically pauses levy action while the request is under review. Acting before the final notice is always preferable.
