Penalties & Payment Plans
“Can I set up installments for my IRS balance?”
Many IRS balances can often be handled through an installment arrangement, but the details usually depend on the amount owed, whether prior returns are filed, and how current the account is. The IRS may also look at payment history, any open notices, and whether the balance is tied to payroll taxes, income taxes, or penalties. In some cases, the type of payment plan available and the monthly amount are shaped by the taxpayer’s financial information and filing status. For a business, outstanding employment tax issues can affect the options differently than a personal income tax balance. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
