Pay Back Tax in Installment Agreements - Pay Plans

The IRS encourages you to pay what you owe as quickly as possible. For those individuals or businesses not able to resolve a tax debt immediately, a tax installment agreement can be a reasonable payment option. Installment agreements allow for the full payment of the tax debt in smaller, more manageable amounts over time.

To be eligible for an installment agreement, all returns that are due must first be filed. Installment agreements generally require equal monthly payments. The amount of an installment payment will be based on the amount owed and on the taxpayer's ability to pay that amount within the time legally available for the IRS to collect.

By law, the IRS has the authority to collect outstanding federal taxes for ten years from the date of assessment. (Source IRS)
Taxpayers who already have an installment agreement may still find help. The amount previously agreed to may be lowered if circumstances show your ability to pay has decreased. A Collection Information Statement (IRS form 433-A and/or 433-B) may have to be completed to further illustrate your financial situation.

Things to keep in mind:

• The goal for OMNI is to demonstrate to the IRS or the State that you cannot pay the full amount, therefore another resolution is required
• The advantage of an Installment Agreement is that no enforced collection takes place while the taxpayer is on the plan (provided the client doesn't default).
• The disadvantage of an Installment Agreement is that interest and perhaps penalties continue to accrue every year.
