Installment Agreement
Do you owe back taxes to the IRS, but can't pay the entire debt today? It might be possible to set up a payment plan to pay your taxes over time. In general there are three options allowed by federal statute.
1. An Installment agreement for a taxpayer who owes less than $50,000 including interest and penalties. You will set up a monthly payment schedule to pay your outstanding tax debt in full. Penalties and interest will still accrue, but at a lower rate than if you did not have a payment plan in place.
2. For individuals who owe more than $50,000 including interest and penalties, you may qualify for a monthly payment plan, but will be required to submit a financial statement. We can assist you in preparing this statement and providing documents to substantiate your request.
3. If your business owes $25,000 or less in back taxes, you may request an “In-Business Trust Fund Express” installment agreement (IBTF-Express IA). An IBTF-Express IA payment plan usually doesn’t require a financial statement, although the business must currently have employees. An IBTF-Express IA grants you a 24-month period to fully pay the outstanding tax debt. If the amount owed is greater than $10,000 but below $25,000, your business must set up a Direct Debit installment agreement (DDIA).
