Our client, an insurance agent, owns a Schedule C business that owes money every year; however, he has been financially unable to pay the balance. He owns a house with a mortgage, and according to a Zillow appraisal, the value of the house made it impossible to enroll the client into an Offer in Compromise (OIC) to settle the amount due of $30,999.93. We met with our client in regards to the value of the house, and found a great deal of money had been spent on repairs, including foundation and plumbing repairs. In order to get the house into market condition, these repairs were completed at great expense to the client. We worked to reduce the value of the house based on the repairs. This made the client eligible for an Offer in Compromise. We then negotiated a payment in the amount of just $3,637.00. This saved the client a whopping $27,362.93 or 88% of the initial liability!
