I am a former IRS Revenue Officer and teaching instructor with the Internal Revenue Service. I am also licensed and certified by the department of Professional Regulation to teach IRS Tax Law.
With that said, here are some top tips you need to know about making payments with the IRS.
1. Four million taxpayers are currently using Installment Agreements to pay their IRS taxes. It is the most common way to close your current IRS issue or case.
2. The IRS will want a completed Form 433-A or 433-F, collection information financial statement, with supporting documentation. They will use this to determine if you are eligible for an Installment Agreement and how much your payments will be.
3. An Installment Agreement stops all enforced collection action immediately. It suspends the open case in the IRS enforced collection system.
4. The Installment Agreement allows you to make reasonable and affordable payments to the Internal Revenue Service.
5. The IRS will release any tax levies they may have filed if an Installment Agreement has been reached.
6. The IRS has two types of Installment Agreements, streamline and long-term. The amount owed determines which agreement you are eligible for. Under $25,000 qualifies for the streamline which can be handled over the telephone.
7. An Installment Agreement still allows you to file an Offer in Compromise.
8. With an Installment Agreement, penalties and interest continue to accrue on the total amount due to the IRS.
9. Federal Tax Liens are not released because of Installment Agreements.
10. The Installment Agreement is only a temporary solution. At the end of the day the tax must be paid in full, the statute expires or the IRS accepts an Offer in Compromise to fully close the case off the IRS system.
Always hire a professional tax firm to resolve your IRS Problems and check out their BBB rating.
Things to look for in a good company:
- History of company
- Firm experience
- Do they have former IRS Agents on staff
- Make sure you can directly talk to the person that will work on your case
- Check on their BBB rating. Use only A or better
All the best! <><

I am a former IRS Revenue Officer and teaching instructor with the IRS who has logged in 10 years with the feds.
I taught the Offer in Compromise IRS Tax Settlement Program at the IRS. Before any Offer in Compromise or settlement is filed it is imperative that you have a former IRS Agent file, look over, review it before IRS even looks at the Offer/Settlement.
IRS spends an average of 20 man hours working an Offer or Settlement. Basically, your financial life is under a IRS audit.
The financial statements you turn into IRS is reviewed in-depth for accuracy and truthfulness.
Here are some things you need to know before you pull the trigger.
Settling your tax debt with the IRS is called an Offer in Compromise.
The are three type of Offers in Compromise, the most common, the doubt as to collectibility.
I will only comment about the Collectability offers.
Things IRS will/ may review:
- IRS will google your name to see what pulls up.
- IRS will look for lawsuits or other possible means of finding assets.
- IRS will examine your credit card activity to see how much you have been charging and what you have been charging
- IRS may look to examine loan applications you have turned in the last couple years to see what assets were listed at that time.
- IRS will do a full DMV check
- IRS will run a boat and RV check
- IRS will run a State check on any and all corporations that you had owned.
- IRS will go by your home or place of business to see if the lifestyle makes sense
- IRS will fully examine your last 3 years worth of tax returns and look for income swings
- If accepted IRS will make your Offer in Compromise public record.
IRS does a very through and complete job in their review of offers in compromise/IRS Debt Settlement.
If you are looking to hiring a professional firm which I highly recommend, check on their experience level, ask if they have former IRS agents on staff and review their BBB rating.
Best of LUCK. accepts about 25% of all offers in Compromise or Tax Settlements.

4. IRS Settlement agreements/programs can be in different forms:
a. Hardship Settlements. Cases usually go into a 3 year suspended status because of an inability to pay. This is also called currently noncollectable. Your case will go into a hardship status because you do not have the income coming in to meet your current expenses. The IRS will use the National Standards Program to assess hardship.
b. Payment Agreements. Cases can be closed with agreed upon monthly installment payments to the IRS. We will review the different programs IRS uses for the lowest possible amount required.
c. Offer in Compromise/IRS Settlements. There are three types of OICs:
1. Doubt as to Collectibility – Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.
2. Doubt as to Liability – A legitimate doubt exists that the assessed tax liability is correct.
3. Effective Tax Administration – There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists.
