Answer first: For Form 656 in Fort Worth, check filing and payment compliance, then evaluate income, expenses, and asset equity before submitting an Offer in Compromise. An offer may settle eligible debt for less than the full balance, but acceptance is not guaranteed. Executive Tax Solution offers Enrolled Agent representation remotely from Sachse for taxpayers across Texas.
⚠️ Active IRS Enforcement Alert
Sending ETS an email or website form does not by itself pause IRS bank holds, payroll levies, or wage garnishments. If your cash flow or corporate account is facing an active asset freeze, you need an immediate defense strategy.

How the IRS Calculates Your Offer
Related IRS guidance from @irstaxliens. Video examples describe their own facts and do not promise the same result for your case.
Home equity affects the proposal in Fort Worth
Illustrative example: A taxpayer has modest monthly income but meaningful equity in a residence. This situation is hypothetical and is not presented as an Executive Tax Solution client result.
Evaluate asset equity alongside income and compare alternatives rather than assuming a low paycheck ensures a low offer.
What the notice or procedure means
The IRS generally will not accept an offer when the taxpayer can pay in full through installments or asset equity. Required returns and current payments must be addressed. An open bankruptcy is an eligibility barrier. Use the current Form 656-B booklet for forms, payment terms, and exceptions.
Records to have ready
- Required return filing history
- Current tax payment and deposit records
- Asset values and secured debts
- Complete income and expense support
- Property value support and mortgage payoff
A mistake to avoid
Do not use a quoted settlement percentage as proof of eligibility. Offer processing can suspend most collection activity in qualifying circumstances and affect the collection period; simply requesting a consultation does neither.
Is the IRS pre-qualifier an approval?
No. It is a screening tool. The IRS reviews the completed application and supporting facts before deciding whether to accept an offer.
