Installment Agreement
ElitePath Tax Solutions helps you pay your tax debt in manageable monthly payments
What Is an Installment Agreement?
An Installment Agreement is a formal arrangement with the IRS that allows you to pay your tax debt in monthly installments. Payments continue until your tax liability is fully satisfied, providing a manageable path to resolving your debt.
How Are Monthly Payments Determined?
Monthly payments are generally based on your total tax debt and financial ability to pay. For certain balances, the IRS calculates the minimum monthly payment by dividing your total debt over a set period (typically up to 72 months).
If the suggested payment is not affordable, our experts can help you request adjustments or negotiate a plan with the IRS collections team. In some cases, appeals can be made to the IRS Appeals Office if necessary.
Benefits of an Installment Agreemen
Avoid Further Penalties – Stay compliant and prevent additional fines.
Protect Your Credit – Properly managed payment plans reduce the risk of liens or levies.
Secure Future Refunds – Ensure you continue to receive tax refunds while on the plan.
Duration of an IRS Installment Agreement
Most IRS installment plans last up to 6 years, depending on your total balance and payment ability. To set up a plan, taxpayers submit Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, and the IRS will establish a payment arrangement.
