OIC Form 433b
When pursuing an offer in compromise of IRS back tax debt, you’ll have to submit the 656 form 433-b, unless you are a sole proprietorship and thus you’ll use form 1040 to account for profits and losses. The form 433-A provides the IRS with justification in determining the lowest possible offer amount you can make when seeking an offer of compromise.
Section 1: This section requests basic information, for instance your EIN, the identity of partners, officers, and LLC members.
Section 2: Next, the form asks for business asset details. This includes the business’s bank accounts, investment accounts, and notes receivable. Then the form requests information on the company’s real estate, vehicles, and equipment. However, in revealing their worth, the internal revenue service will let you exclude your equity in any income producing assets.
Section 3: In section 3 you are to provide information regarding your business income, such as average gross monthly income (supported by corroborating documentation).
Section Four is where you will impart the specifics of business expenses. That is, your average gross monthly expenses of the most recent period 6 — 12 months (all supported and verified). And, if you do include a profit and loss report for this period, you can present an average amount here.
