A Simpler Path to Tax Resolution
Understanding Streamlined Installment Agreements
The IRS offers streamlined installment agreements as a simplified method for taxpayers to settle their tax debts.
- Qualification Criteria: These agreements are available to individuals who owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest. Businesses may also qualify if their tax debt does not exceed $25,000.
- Liability Limits and Payment Terms: The maximum liability limit for streamlined agreements is $50,000 for individuals and $25,000 for businesses. Payment terms can extend up to 72 months, depending on the amount owed.
- Application Process: Taxpayers can apply for a streamlined installment agreement online, by phone, or by mail. The process requires less documentation than other payment plans.
- Compliance Requirements: To remain eligible, taxpayers must stay current with all filing and payment obligations during the agreement. This includes paying future taxes in full and on time.
- Advantages: Streamlined installment agreements offer a less burdensome way to manage tax debt without the need for detailed financial disclosures.
