Reply to comment by Its-a-write-off in Back taxes and capital loss questions for an older relative. by Buttercoins

Thank you, if a CPA does advise an offer in compromise, and my uncle is willing to be fully transparent showing his brokerage statements, bank account, etc., would they take into account his financial ignorance and the lack of any meaningful gain? His trading history is very straightforward, and the paper trail is not complicated.

All they really look at is his ability to pay it back. Ignorance of the law is not usually taken into consideration.
