IRS Installment Agreements

Author: Tax Resolution Attorney Gwin, PLLC | Dec 18, 2021

The IRS enhanced criteria for both streamlined and expanded installment agreements improves customer service, reduces taxpayer burden, and increases agency efficiency. With the enhanced criteria, more taxpayers now qualify to have their installment agreement request processed.

A payment plan is an agreement with the IRS to pay the taxes you owe within an extended timeframe. You should request a payment plan if you believe you will be able to pay your taxes in full within the extended timeframe. If you qualify for a short-term payment plan you may not be liable for a user fee. Not paying your taxes when they are due may cause the filing of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien and/or an IRS levy action.
