Conference report in offer in compromise form 656 cases

In the Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 2676, the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, the Conference Agreement state, in part:

The conferees believe that the ability to compromise tax liability and to make payments of tax liability by installment enhances taxpayer compliance.  In addition, the conferees believe that the IRS should be flexible in finding ways to work with taxpayers who are sincerely trying to meet their obligations and remain in the tax system.

Very few people at the IRS understand this tax policy stated by Congress in offer in compromise cases.
