The IRS is a collection agency with more collection power than anyone in the world.
They are not Santa Claus.
They do what is best for the United States government.It is their job to collect the taxes to keep the government running. They do what is best for themselves first and rightly so. If the program was open for everything, it would be a free for all. Every taxpayer would file an offer with every tax return.
The IRS has set up strict boundaries on Offers In Compromise. One of the things the public may not know, all offers are open to public review.
So why are so few offers accepted? It is very hard to qualify for the federal program, it is that simple. It is a federal program.
