4905Be Form PDF Details

Business entities in California facing challenges in settling their tax liabilities might find a viable solution through the 4905BE Booklet Offer in Compromise (OIC) program administrated by the Franchise Tax Board. This program is tailored for businesses that lack the income, assets, or means to fulfill their tax obligations either presently or foreseeably. By allowing entities to propose a lesser amount than the non-disputed final tax owing, the OIC serves as a critical financial remedy. The approval of such offers is contingent upon a thorough evaluation, ensuring that the compromised amount aligns with the maximum expected collection within a reasonable timeframe. Key factors such as the entity's ability to pay, asset equities, income projections, expenses, and potential for financial change are rigorously assessed. However, it’s important to note that merely submitting an application does not stall ongoing collection efforts by the state, and certain prerequisites—like filing all required returns and agreeing with the tax amount owed—must be met to even consider processing the application. Should an offer be accepted, the entity might also be bound to a collateral agreement, sharing a portion of future income that surpasses a pre-defined threshold with the state for up to five years. Additionally, the submission of an OIC requires comprehensive financial disclosure, including bank, IRS, property, and vehicle information, to support the application. This in-depth approach ensures that only genuinely qualified businesses can access this form of tax relief and underscores the state’s commitment to fair and practical tax collection strategies.

Offer In Compromise

for Business Entities

What you should know before preparing an Offer in Compromise

Are you an OIC

If your business entity does not have the income, assets, or means to pay your

Candidate?

tax liability now or in the foreseeable future, it may be a candidate. The Offer in

 

Compromise program allows an entity to offer a lesser amount for payment of a

 

non-disputed final tax liability.

 

Generally, we approve an Offer in Compromise when the amount offered represents

 

the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.

 

Although each case is evaluated based on its own unique set of facts and

 

circumstances, we give the following factors strong consideration in the evaluation:

 

Ability to pay

 

Equity in the entity’s assets

 

Present and future income

 

Present and future expenses

 

The potential for changed circumstances

 

The offer is in the best interest of the state

Can We

We will only process the Offer in Compromise application if you:

Process Your

 

Application?

Filed all of the required tax returns. If you have no filing requirement, note it on the

 

application.

 

Fully completed the Offer in Compromise application, and provided all supporting

 

documentation.

 

Agree with the Franchise Tax Board on the amount of tax you owe.

Will a Collateral

Upon approval, we may require the entity to enter into a collateral agreement for a

Agreement be

term of five years. Generally, a collateral agreement will be required in cases when the

Required?

entity has significant potential for increased earnings. A collateral agreement requires

 

a business entity to pay to us a percentage of future earnings that exceed an agreed

 

upon threshold.

Is Collection Activity

Submitting an offer does not automatically suspend collection activity. In most cases,

Suspended?

collection action will be suspended until the Offer in Compromise evaluation is

 

completed. If delaying collection activity jeopardizes our ability to collect the tax, we

 

may continue with collection efforts.

When Should

Do not submit the offered funds until we request them. When we do ask for the funds,

submit them by cashiers check or money order. We are unable to accept installment
