IRS Installment Payment Agreements

If you cannot afford to pay the total balance due with your return, the IRS allows you to request a payment agreement. Instead of paying the amount due in full, you pay what you can afford at the start, and then an amount each month until your balance is paid off. The IRS will charge you interest until your balance is paid, so in the end you will pay more than the amount you owed originally. As such, this method is inadvisable if you are able to pay your amount in full when it is due.

Online payment agreements can be requested, modified and reviewed online at this link.

If you require our assistance with either the paper form or would like us to complete the online application for you, contact us via the information at the bottom of this page and we will advise you on our fee for this service.
