Oferta de compromiso rechazada | Alivio inmediato
We assist by reviewing your IRS rejection letter, analyzing Form 656, Form 433-A, or Form 433-B, and preparing supporting documentation for the appeals process. Acting under Power of Attorney, we file Form 13711 with the Office of Appeals and pursue tax relief options such as installment agreements, payment plans, or Currently Not Collectible Status based on financial hardship.
What This Service Does
A rejected offer in compromise is not simply a denial letter. It is a shift in your case status that requires immediate analysis and a structured response. We design our service to shield you from enforcement while we identify the most robust legal and procedural course under IRS jurisdiction.
We Step In Under Power of Attorney and Take Control of Communication
Once you engage our firm, we prepare and submit IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. IRS.gov explains that Form 2848 authorizes an eligible representative to act on your behalf before the IRS. This gives us the authority to speak directly with the IRS, receive account notices, and manage your case strategically.
From that point forward, you no longer have to handle stressful IRS phone calls or interpret technical letters alone. We become the official point of contact, preventing inconsistent statements, missed deadlines, or emotional reactions from harming your case.
We Conduct a Detailed Rejection Analysis
The IRS explains on IRS.gov that it accepts an Offer in Compromise program submission when the amount reflects the most it can reasonably collect based on your Reasonable Collection Potential, income, expenses, and asset equity. A rejection of an offer in compromise means the IRS determined your proposal did not meet that standard under tax law.
We review the rejection letter alongside Form 433-A or Form 433-B, including the Collection Information Statement and supporting bank statements and tax returns, to verify how your financial situation was evaluated.
We analyze how the offer specialist calculated your tax liability using the Income/Expense and Asset/Equity Tables and determine whether income was overstated or expenses were improperly disallowed. If appropriate, we prepare Form 13711, the Request for Appeal of Offer in Compromise PDF, to move the case to the office of appeals or evaluate alternatives such as a payment plan, Partial Payment Installment Agreement, or Currently Not Collectible status.
We Protect You From Escalating Collection Activity
The IRS collection process continues until a tax debt is resolved or the IRS can no longer legally collect. After an OIC rejection, your account can revert to active collection status if no other resolution is in place.
We immediately evaluate your enforcement exposure and determine whether you are at risk for lien filing, levy notices, or wage garnishment. If you are within the 30-day appeal period, we prioritize protecting that window while stabilizing your account status.
We Build the Right Next Strategy
Not every rejected offer in compromise should be appealed. Sometimes an appeal is appropriate because the IRS relied on incomplete or incorrect information. Other times, the stronger strategy is to address compliance issues and reposition your case under another resolution path recognized by IRS.gov, such as an installment agreement or temporary hardship status.
We assess your situation objectively and select the approach that aligns with your real financial condition and IRS enforcement posture. We do not guess. We analyze and act deliberately.
Why This Gets Worse Without Help
Doing nothing after a rejected offer in compromise can quickly increase the risk. The IRS does not pause enforcement indefinitely because an offer was denied.
Appeal Deadlines Expire
IRS.gov states that you may appeal a rejected OIC within 30 days. You lose the opportunity for independent review through the appeals process if that deadline passes. Waiting even a few weeks can close off one of your strongest procedural protections.
Collection Activity Can Resume
The IRS collection process begins with notices and continues until the debt is resolved. If no resolution is active after a rejection, the account may proceed through the collection pipeline. Notices may escalate in tone and urgency.
Federal Tax Liens May Be Filed
IRS.gov explains that a federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt. The IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien in public records. A lien can affect credit, financing opportunities, and business relationships.
Levies Become a Real Possibility
According to IRS.gov, a levy is a legal seizure of property to satisfy a tax debt. This can include wage garnishments and bank account levies. After rejection, if no other arrangement is in place, the IRS retains the authority to pursue a levy.
Emotional Reactions Create Permanent Record Issues
Many taxpayers call the IRS immediately after receiving a rejection and argue their case emotionally. Statements made during those calls become part of the official IRS record. Inconsistent explanations about income, assets, or expenses can undermine future appeals or negotiations. Professional representation prevents these mistakes.
How the IRS Enforces This
Understanding IRS enforcement authority helps clarify why immediate action after a rejected OIC is important.
Collection Notices: Initiate and Escalate the Process
IRS.gov explains that if you do not pay your tax in full, the IRS sends a bill that starts the collection process. The process continues until the account is satisfied or the IRS can no longer legally collect. Notices generally escalate over time, moving from reminders to formal intent-to-levy warnings.
Federal Tax Liens
IRS.gov states that a federal tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you fail to pay a tax debt. The IRS may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien to alert creditors. This public filing can affect refinancing, property sales, and credit access.
CP504 Notice of Intent to Levy
IRS.gov explains that CP504 is a Notice of Intent to Levy issued under Internal Revenue Code section 6331(d). The notice cautions that failure to make payment could result in the IRS levying certain property. This notice signals that the enforcement authority is moving closer to execution.
LT11 or Letter 1058 Final Notice
IRS.gov states that LT11, or Letter 1058, informs you that the IRS intends to seize property or rights to property. It instructs taxpayers to contact the IRS immediately. At this stage, the levy authority can be exercised if no resolution is established.
Bank Levies and the 21-Day Holding Period
IRS.gov explains that when the IRS levies a bank account, the bank generally holds the funds for 21 days before sending them to the IRS. This period is designed to allow time to contact the IRS or resolve errors. However, during those 21 days, access to funds is restricted.
Wage Garnishments
IRS.gov states that a levy can garnish wages. Once active, a wage levy continues until the debt is paid, the levy is released, or another authorized resolution is approved. This procedure can create long-term financial strain if not addressed quickly.

Common Mistakes People Make
Many taxpayers worsen their situation by making avoidable mistakes:
Our Representation Process
Initial Case Review and Rejection Breakdown
We begin with a comprehensive review of your rejected offer in compromise, including the IRS rejection letter, financial statements, supporting documentation, and compliance history. We carefully compare the IRS’s stated reasons for denial with your actual financial condition. This allows us to identify calculation errors, documentation gaps, or compliance issues that must be addressed before moving forward with an appeal or alternative resolution strategy.
Filing Power of Attorney
We prepare and submit IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, so we can legally act on your behalf. Once the IRS processes the authorization, we become the official contact for your case. This means IRS agents communicate directly with us rather than with you, preventing misstatements, reducing stress, and ensuring that every interaction follows a coordinated legal strategy.
Account Transcript and Risk Assessment
Once authorization is granted, we will obtain your IRS account transcripts to confirm balances, penalty assessments, default codes, and enforcement indicators. We verify the exact reason the installment agreement was terminated and whether any additional compliance issues exist. This step prevents assumptions and ensures that our negotiation strategy is based on accurate, complete IRS records.
Appeal Evaluation and Strategic Decision
When an appeal is appropriate, we prepare the required forms and assemble organized financial documentation to support your position. We clarify income calculations, allowable expenses, and asset valuations so the reviewing authority can evaluate the information accurately. Our goal is to present a clear, well-supported case rather than a reactive or emotional argument.
Alternative Resolution Planning
If an appeal is not advisable, we pivot quickly to other IRS-recognized options such as installment agreements or temporary hardship status. We structure proposals that reflect your realistic ability to pay while protecting you from enforced collection. This approach ensures you remain proactive rather than allowing your case to drift back into uncontrolled enforcement.
Ongoing Compliance Oversight
A successful resolution requires continued compliance with filing and payment obligations. We guide you through estimated payments, required filings, and future reporting responsibilities to prevent enforcement from restarting. Maintaining compliance strengthens your credibility with the IRS and helps ensure the stability of any resolution.
What Happens If You Do Nothing
Appeal Window Closes: IRS.gov states that you must appeal a rejected offer in compromise within 30 days. If that period expires, you lose the formal right to appeal the decision.
Collection Status Reactivates: Your account may move back into active collection, increasing notice frequency and urgency.
Notice Escalation: You may receive CP504, which IRS.gov describes as a Notice of Intent to Levy. This signals that the IRS is preparing to exercise levy authority if the balance remains unpaid.
Increased Enforcement Risk: Without a resolution in place, the IRS may evaluate lien filing or levy action.
Final Levy Notice: You may receive an LT11 or Letter 1058, which IRS.gov states means the IRS intends to seize property or the property right.
Bank Levy Exposure: If a bank levy is issued, funds may be frozen and subject to the 21-day holding period described by IRS.gov.
Wage Garnishment Risk: Wage levies can begin and continue until the debt is resolved or the levy is released.
