Here’s a quick review on the different type of installment agreements and payment plans.

•  Individual Installment Agreement

This payment plan applies to individuals who owe $50,000 or less in income tax, interest, and penalties.

Remember this is combined. IRS looks at your total pay off amount not your tax alone.

With an installment agreement, you can make regular monthly payments over time. Payments can be made through Direct Debit (from your bank account), check or money order, credit card, EFTPS , payroll deduction , or an Online Payment Agreement .

When you set up an installment agreement, make sure you will be able to make the monthly payments without defaulting. the reason it is very important to contact a tax professional is to make sure you can pay your back tax and not do so just because of fear of the Internal Revenue Service.

Many people cannot pay back tax he should find out about the IRS program called currently not collectible.

•  Installment Agreement for Individuals

Who Owe Over $50,000

Individuals who fall into this category must submit Form 9465 as well as Form 433-F (Collection Information Statement).

Form 433F is used by ASC  for obtaining your documented current financial information, in order to figure out how you can pay the overdue tax balance.

if your case is in the local office with a revenue officer they will insist on a verified form 433A.

You can find both 433 f and 433a on our website.

Both financial statement must include your last three months bank statements, a copy of your last paystub and a copy of all monthly expenses.

You want to make sure they’re absolutely no inconsistencies within them.

3. Small Business Installment Agreement

Businesses that owe IRS back taxes of $25,000 or less in back taxes may request an “In-Business Trust Fund Express” installment agreement.

This type of payment plan usually doesn’t require a financial statement, although the business must currently have employees.

An IBTF-Express IA provides a 24-month period to fully pay the outstanding tax debt.

If the amount owed is greater than $10,000 (and below $25,000), the business must set up a Direct Debit installment agreement.

Costs for Installment or Payment Plans

Note that it costs $120 to set up a standard agreement or payroll deduction agreement, and $52 to set up a Direct Debit agreement.

If your income is below a certain level, the fee for setting up an installment agreement is $42.

When speaking to us we will review with you the offer in compromise program to see if you’re eligible to settle your debt for pennies on the dollar.

The IRS Settlement Program

An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It may be a legitimate option if you can’t pay your full tax liability, or doing so creates a financial hardship.

IRS considers your unique set of facts and circumstances: including your,

• Ability to pay;
• Total Income;
• All Expenses; and
• Asset equity including IRA and pensions.

IRS generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.

Make sure you are eligible for the settlement program

Before IRS can consider your offer settlement, you must be current with all filing and payment requirements.

IRS will conduct a full compliance check of all filings and making sure you have current withholding or estimate payments made in the year you are sending in the program settlement.

You are not eligible if you are in an open bankruptcy proceeding.
