I did one (OIC) decades ago, for the son of good friends. It was accepted. This was long, long ago before I understood that I wasn't necessarily 'qualified' to do one ;-). Plus, I didn't charge him for it.
I tried a 'not currently collectible' for an elderly client - it was mainly plugging in numbers as to current income (nothing but social security...) and living expense. Again, pro-bono. He ended up with the ultimate tax shelter (death) before the IRS passed judgement.
These days, I'm sure the process is more involved & I wouldn't even try either again. I have an attorney contact in a near-by city that I used to refer folks to. He ain't cheap but gets good results.
I agree with Susan - those advertising on T.V. are basically snake oil salesmen. IMHO anyway.
