What happens if the IRS does not accept an OIC?
Once the IRS determines it cannot accept an offer, the taxpayer will be advised of the reasons behind the decision. The taxpayer will be afforded another opportunity to submit any other information that might cause the IRS to reconsider it preliminary decision to reject the offer. The exception to this is when the taxpayer has an ability to satisfy the liability in full and has not pointed to special circumstances.
