It is understood that this offer will be considered and acted upon as quickly as possible. It does not relieve the taxpayer or feepayer 
of the liability sought to be compromised until the CDTFA accepts the offer and there has been full compliance with all agreements. 
The CDTFA may continue collection activities at its discretion. 
Except for any amount deposited in connection with this offer, it is agreed that the CDTFA will retain all payments and credits 
made to the account for the periods covered by this offer. In addition, the CDTFA will retain any and all amounts to which the tax or 
feepayer(s) may be entitled under the California law, due through overpayments of tax or fees, penalty, or interest, prior to the offer 
being accepted, not to exceed the liability. 
It is further agreed that upon notice to the taxpayer or feepayer of the acceptance of the offer, the taxpayer or feepayer shall have 
no right to contest in court or otherwise the amount of the liability sought to be compromised. No liability will be compromised until 
all obligations of each taxpayer or feepayer under the compromise agreement are completely performed. 
Under penalty of perjury, I declare that I have examined the information given in this statement and all other documents included 
with this offer and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete.

PROCESSING ACCEPTED OFFERS 
Generally, an offer will not be forwarded for approval until the offer is funded. Once the offer is approved and funded, the OIC Sec-
tion will process all the necessary adjustments to your account balance. Releases of liens (if applicable) will be mailed directly to 
the county in which they were recorded. The taxpayer or feepayer making the offer will receive copies of the lien release documents 
and a statement of balance with the acceptance letter. 
Please note that the OIC covers only the fnal liabilities requested in the OIC application. Any future liabilities that may be assessed 
or become fnal after the date of the compromise are not covered. 

PROCESSING DENIED OFFERS 
If we reject or deny the offer, the deposit will be refunded or applied to the liability at the request of the taxpayer or feepayer with 
an effective date of the date the funds were received. No interest will be granted on returned deposits. If a third party has posted 
the deposited amount, staff must get written permission from the third party to apply the deposit. The case will be returned to the 
local district offce or headquarters offce with a recommendation for case handling based on information analyzed during the offer 
process. 
Please note:  If you choose to make installment payments and the offered amount is not paid within twelve months, your offer will 
be denied and all funds received through the offer will be retained.
