The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) may offer the possibility of applying for a payment plan online. However, to be able to take advantage of this payment plan, you must meet all the requirements.
You can apply for a payment plan online, even if it is an installment agreement, if you are an authorized representative or a qualified taxpayer. The best thing about it is the fact that you can do it online. In this way, you may qualify and be able to pay off your debt over time.
IRS will send you a notice of approval/denial
Applying does not mean you can automatically get a payment plan. Therefore, you must wait until the IRS sends you a notice to confirm the approval or not. Bear in mind that in order to apply, you will need an ID.me account.
Apart from this, you will have to show the IRS a photo identification. Those taxpayers who are applying for a direct debit plan will have to give the Internal Revenue Service their bank routing and account numbers.
Americans who have just filed their federal tax return or whose tax return was examined and have not gotten a balance notice from the IRS will need the balance due in their tax returns too. Fees and accrue penalties may apply for a payment plan though.
Do you qualify for an IRS online payment plan?
It will depend on your tax situation whether you qualify for an Internal Revenue Service payment plan or not. What is more, you may qualify for one payment option but not for another one.
The different IRS payment plans are long-term payment plans, short-term payment plans, or full payment. To qualify for the long-term payment plan, which is an installment agreement, you must have filed all required returns and you owe 50,000 dollars or less in combined tax, interest, and penalties.
Besides, you qualify for a short-term payment plan if you owe less than 100,000 dollars in combined penalties, interest, and tax. Even if you could apply for a payment plan on the phone, fees may be higher.
