What Is a Tax Settlement?
A tax settlement is a legal agreement between you and the IRS (or South Carolina Department of Revenue) to resolve a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. It typically falls under the IRS’s Offer in Compromise (OIC) program but can also involve installment plans, hardship status, or penalty abatement.
In South Carolina, families and business owners often face unexpected tax debts due to:
- Self-employment or freelance work with no tax withholding
- Real estate sales and capital gains
- Inherited assets or pension misreporting
- Back taxes after job loss, divorce, or medical hardship
Residents in areas like Charleston, Hilton Head, and Myrtle Beach, where income can be seasonal or investment-based, are particularly vulnerable to IRS enforcement. Many simply cannot afford to repay large tax debts in full.
As your IRS tax settlement attorneys, we will evaluate your financial profile, determine your eligibility, and build a compelling offer the IRS is more likely to accept. We will handle all negotiations, forms, and follow-up communications to ensure the process is handled professionally and effectively.

Installment Agreements
If you can’t afford a lump-sum payment but can pay over time, we can negotiate a monthly payment plan that fits your financial situation.
