                                                            1.  I will remain in compliance with all tax types for three years after acceptance of the offer. 
                                                              
                                                            2.  The offer remains pending until an authorized Department official issues notification of acceptance or                                         
                                                             rejection, or until the offer is withdrawn by me. 
                                                            3.  I understand that I voluntarily submit any payment made with this offer. 
                                                            4.  If  the  Department rejects  the offer  or if  the offer  is  withdrawn, the  Department will treat  any paid amount 
                                                             with the offer as payment toward the outstanding tax liability. 
                                                            5.  The  Department will retain any payment(s) toward the  liability from  enforced collections, offsets,  or  
                                                             other payment(s) sent to the Department prior to the submission of this offer. 
                                                            6.  I understand that collection activity may continue if it is determined to be in the state’s best interest, or if it is 
                                                             otherwise determined that the filing of the offer has not been made in good faith. In addition the Department may: 
                                                             a.  Immediately issue and record any tax liens necessary to protect the state’s legal interest; 
                                                             b.  Proceed with enforced collection of the total outstanding liability; 
                                                             c.  Apply amounts already paid under the offer to the total liability. 
                                                            7.  I  understand that the tax  I  owe is, and will remain,  a tax  liability  until I  meet all the terms and conditions  
                                                             of  the  offer.  If  I  file  bankruptcy  before  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  offer  are  completed,  any  claim  the  
                                                             Department filed will be for the full amount, less any payments. 
                                                            8.  Once the Department  accepts the offer in writing,  I have  no right to contest, in court or otherwise,  the  
                             Terms, Conditions & Signature
                                                             amount of the tax liability. 
                                                            9.  I, the taxpayer, shall bear all of my own costs, including attorney fees. 
                                                            10.  If  I  fail to  meet the  terms  and conditions of  an accepted offer,  the compromise will be considered  null  
                                                             and void. Updated interest and penalties will be added to the total balance due until paid in full.

                                                          I agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions set forth in this offer. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this offer,

                                                          under penalties or perjury that I employ no illegal or unauthorized aliens as defined under federal law and that I am not eligible for any tax
