Offer-in-Compromise vs. Bankruptcy – The Pros and Cons of Both

March 3, 2023 | Bookkeeping Services

Tax resolution can be a complex process. Taxpayers facing unmanageable tax debt have two primary options: bankruptcy or Offer-in-Compromise. Each option has its own set of pros and cons that must be considered carefully when making a decision. Bankruptcy is a legal process that helps taxpayers get rid of their debt including tax debt in under certain conditions. Taxpayers who file for bankruptcy receive an automatic stay and can discharge their tax debt quickly.
