An offer in compromise is an agreement between the taxpayer and the government that settles a tax liability for payment of less than the full amount owed. Grounds for compromise may exist when there is legitimate doubt from the viewpoints of both the taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service that an assessed tax liability is correct. You may submit Form 656-L if you believe that the tax liability you wish to compromise is incorrect. Before mailing, detach Form 656-L at the perforation. Mail Form 656-L to: Brookhaven Internal Revenue Service COIC Unit P.O. Box 9008 Holtsville, NY 11742-9008. |
