Tax Resolution 101 – Installment Agreements

One of the possible resolutions to your case is what is called an Installment Agreement. And it is what you think it is – the result of properly presenting your financial condition and negotiating an acceptable monthly payment [the important words in that sentence being ‘properly’ and ‘negotiating’]. It is to your benefit to have experienced, professional representation to present your case and negotiate the best possible outcome for you.

Below is a list of the more common installment agreement options available to taxpayers:

  • Guaranteed Installment Agreements: owes $10000 or less (excluding penalties and interest)handshake, agreement, installment agreement, strategic tax resolution
  • Streamlined Installment Agreements for $25000 or less
  • Streamlined Installment Agreements for $25001 to $50000
  • In-Business Trust Fund Express Installment Agreements
  • Partial Payment Installment Agreements
  • Other (Routine) Installment Agreements

Each of these options comes with their own set of qualifying conditions and requirements. Yet, all do share this requirement: if your payment is late, you owe more tax debt in the future or you do not meet all the terms of the Agreement, you will be in default and the Agreement will be terminated. Defaulting on installment agreements can making resolving tax debt more difficult in the future.  If you can’t make scheduled payments it best to be proactive and determine the payment options available for your financial situation.
