Offer in Compromise
How do I submit an Offer in Compromise proposal?
You may request an Offer in Compromise (OIC) by submitting a letter to the Missouri Department of Revenue (department). The offer must include a proposal to pay a sum of money. Missouri law provides three reasons as a basis for an OIC: doubt as to collectibility, doubt as to liability, or to promote effective tax administration.
Depending upon the basis of the offer, the following information must be included:
- A completed Form MO-656
. - If submitting an OIC based upon doubt as to collectibility, complete a Collection Information Statement, Federal Form 433A and/or B.
- If the OIC is based upon doubt as to liability, enclose any relevant documentation or information supporting your claim.
- If your offer is based upon effective tax administration, state how acceptance promotes effective tax administration.
