Working The Puzzle From All The Angles

Offer in Compromise Attorney

If you are struggling with unpaid taxes, you may be eligible for an Offer in Compromise (OIC) under Michigan state law. The state evaluates your financial situation, and if you meet certain criteria, they may accept a lower amount. Navigating the process of securing an OIC can be complex but can provide significant relief. That is why you should enlist proper tax legal guidance.

Attorney Demetrius J. Karos brings valuable insider perspective as a former IRS employee and certified CPA to handle Michigan Offer in Compromise cases. Since 1989, Demetrius J. Karos, Ltd., has successfully resolved tax issues with the IRS and state tax agencies across 20-plus states. Our firm has the credentials to provide strategic advice and hands-on representation.

Types Of Michigan’s Offer In Compromise Program

The Michigan OIC program evaluates applications based on these three key criteria:

  • Doubt as to collectibility: You can prove you are unable to pay the full tax liability due to financial hardship.
  • Doubt as to liability: You have a legitimate dispute about whether you actually owe the tax amount.
  • Economic hardship: Paying the full amount would create severe financial difficulties, preventing you from meeting basic living expenses.

A successful OIC application requires:

  • Complete financial disclosure, including income, expenses, assets and liabilities
  • Thorough documentation supporting your inability to pay
  • Strategic calculation of an appropriate offer amount
  • Proper completion of all required forms and supporting materials
  • A clear demonstration that you meet at least one of the qualifying criteria

While basic OIC forms are online, submitting an OIC application without legal guidance can be risky, leading to critical errors and potential rejection.
