Installment Agreement

Installment Agreement

There are several types of Installment Agreement options available. The Installment Agreement allows you to make monthly payment to the IRS and/or state taxing authorities until the debt is satisfied/paid in full or expires. Generally, an individual will owe the IRS for 10 years from the date the balance was assessed. This is subject to change if there were any additional assessment or changes that occurred after filing the returns. The state debt is typically collectible for 20 years however this varies from state to state.
 
If you owe less than $50,000 in income tax, you will qualify for what is known as a streamline installment agreement. The IRS will grant a IRS payment plans for a monthly amount that will full pay the balance within 72 months without reviewing the taxpayer’s financial situation. You will be required to establish a direct debit agreement to prevent federal liens from being filed. If you are not able to agree to payment of such, we can provide full financials to determine what amount a taxpayer can pay.
 
If you owe more than $50,000, the IRS will request a full financial overview of your financial situation. Taxpayer’s must complete form 433A, Collection Information for Wages Earners & Self- Employed Individuals and businesses are to complete form 433B, Collection Information for Businesses.
 
If you owe $50,001 to $100,000, the IRS will allow up to 84 months or – the number of months necessary to satisfy the liability in full by the Collection Statute Expiration date (which ever is less). You will be required to establish a direct debit agreement. If you are unable to establish via direct debit, collection information statement will be required. The IRS will determine if a federal tax lien will be filed.
 
If you owe more than $100,000, the IRS requires financial information.
