How Do IRS Payment Plans Work?

When a taxpayer gets qualified to pay the return on a Partial payment plan through a Monthly Installment Agreement, the IRS determines the amount to be paid. They base this amount on the  financial ability of the taxpayer. This form of payment is known as an  IRS payment plan or Partial Pay Installment Agreement.

For debts less than $25,000, the IRS does not require a prepared financial statement. If the taxpayer owes more than $25,000 then they need to provide a financial statement to the IRS. This will help the IRS decide the amount the tax payer can pay on a monthly basis.

If your case is properly prepared, the IRS can also accept the 60 Month Payment Plan. The IRS has the right to deduct the payment directly from the taxpayer’s pay, bank account or credit card. This plan is also known as a Streamline Agreement.

IRS Partial Payment Plan is a useful option for taxpayers struggling with delinquent taxes. It allows taxpayers to pay their tax debt in manageable monthly installments over time. This program provides a debt relief option that does not require full payment of the tax debt upfront, making it an attractive option for those facing financial hardships.

If the taxpayer cannot submit the financial installments in the specified period, there are three options through which expansion of payment plan can be requested.

Let Us Help You Understand

Assume that a taxpayer has a debt of $100,000 in the year 2000. The Statutory period to collect this expense is April 15, 2011. If they meet all requirements, what happens next?

Tax Help MD helps you understand IRS payment plan terms and fill out the Form 433-F. The financial statement is prepared for the taxpayer, through which it is shown that the tax payer has discretionary income of $400 per month to pay the IRS. There remains only 10 months (as of July 15, 2010) to collect on the debt. In this circumstance, the IRS has the ability to accept a payment of $400 per month for the remaining period (10 months) as full payment on the original debt of $100,000. This allows the taxpayer to settle his or her debt for as little as $4,000.
