By completing this form, businesses provide transparency into their financial affairs, enabling the IRS to make informed decisions about installment agreements, offers in compromise, or other payment arrangements. Form 433-B is crucial in facilitating communication and cooperation between businesses and the IRS to resolve tax issues and ensure compliance with tax laws.
