Installment Agreements

An installment agreement is a formal arrangement between you and the IRS that allows you to pay off your tax debt in manageable monthly payments rather than in a single lump sum.

Eligibility: Generally, you can apply for an installment agreement if:

  • Your Tax Debt is Below a Certain Threshold: As of 2024, you can apply for a streamlined installment agreement if you owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest.
  • You Have Filed All Required Tax Returns: To qualify, all your tax returns must be filed and up-to-date.
  • You Are Current with Your Tax Payments: You must be current with all estimated tax payments and have no outstanding tax liabilities.
