3.  Use current version of Form 656-B, Offer in Compromise Booklet


The IRS recently released its April 2023 version of Form 656-B, Offer in Compromise Booklet. Offers in compromise give taxpayers the opportunity to settle their tax debts for less than the full amount they owe once they've exhausted all other payment options.

Taxpayers and small businesses should always download and use the most current version of this form to avoid processing delays. The booklet also includes every form taxpayers must complete as part of the OIC process and is now available in Spanish.

Check out IRS Tax Tip 2023-58 that explains the OIC process in detail including how to:

  • Avoid paying an OIC application fee if a taxpayer qualifies as low-income (as defined by Form 656)
  • Confirm if a taxpayer is eligible to file an OIC and calculate a preliminary offer amount using the OIC Pre-Qualifier Tool
  • File an offer by watching a how-to OIC video playlist series that's now also available in Spanish and Simplified Chinese

5.  Missed the April 18 filing deadline? File now to limit penalties and interest


The IRS urges taxpayers who missed Tuesday's April 18, 2023, tax-filing deadline to file as soon as possible.

Taxpayers who owe and missed the deadline without requesting an extension should file quickly to limit penalties and interest.

The IRS also reminds taxpayers who could file for a refund that they don't receive a penalty for filing late, but that every year, more than 1 million taxpayers overlook a tax refund.
