The Valor 2-Phase Process
How we resolve IRS tax problems
How an Offer in Compromise works
The IRS accepts settlements when collecting the full amount would create financial hardship — but approval requires precise documentation.
02
Build your offer
Our team prepares Form 656 and supporting financial statements. Most DIY offers fail on paperwork — we handle the IRS requirements.
03
Negotiate & resolve
Once accepted, you pay the settled amount and the remaining balance is forgiven. Payment plans are available on approved offers.
Who typically qualifies?
OIC isn't for everyone — but thousands of taxpayers settle each year when the math shows they cannot pay in full.
- Owe $10,000+ and cannot pay the full balance
- Monthly expenses leave little room after basics
- Received an IRS notice or facing collections
- Filed all required tax returns (or ready to get current)

Common questions
Is this the same as the IRS OIC pre-qualifier?
Our tool gives a directional estimate based on similar cases. The official IRS pre-qualifier at irs.treasury.gov is the government tool — we use the same financial standards when building your actual offer.
How long does OIC approval take?
Most offers take 6–12 months from submission to decision. During review, IRS collection activity is typically paused if your case is in active negotiation.
What if I don't qualify for OIC?
Other programs may apply: installment agreements, penalty abatement, currently-not-collectible status, or audit reconsideration. Your review covers all options — not just settlement.
Does checking eligibility hurt my credit?
No. This is a confidential consultation. We do not run credit checks during the pre-qualifier.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
If we accept your resolution case and determine we can help, we back our work with a written money-back guarantee. Terms apply. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
