Installment Agreements

When you can not pay in full, an installment agreement is the most common way to pay the IRS. We fill out a financial statement that details your monthly income and expenses and establish an amount that you can afford to pay monthly. Recently, the IRS issued guidelines which dictate what expenses they will allow in spite of your personal situation. There are exceptions to the guidelines, but they are not easy to overcome.

Our success rate for negotiating payment plans is outstanding. We know what the IRS will accept and can tailor your financial statement to meet their guidelines. We often think of expenses that our clients have not considered.

Because we often deal with the same IRS personnel, we have resources that simply are not available to taxpayers. We can get results which are not available without us.

You must keep in mind that what you believe you can pay the IRS per month often differs from what the IRS feels you can pay per month. They disallow certain expenses that they do not consider "necessary living expenses".

Often we can delay an extremely harsh payment plan for up to one year to allow our clients time to adjust their life style gradually.
