Installment Agreements – Manageable Payment Plans
If you owe the IRS and can’t pay the full amount right away, you’re not alone—and you do have options. One of the most common and effective tax resolution tools is the Installment Agreement, which allows you to pay off your tax debt over time in manageable monthly payments.
At Janet M. Sienicki LLC, we help taxpayers structure affordable agreements that keep them protected from IRS enforcement. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is an Installment Agreement?
An Installment Agreement is a formal payment plan between you and the IRS that allows you to pay your tax debt over time, typically in monthly installments. Once accepted, it can:
- Stop or prevent IRS collection actions (like levies and garnishments).
- Provide an affordable structured monthly payment
- Allow you to regain compliance and peace of mind.
Example: How It Works
Sarah, a single mom and freelance designer, owed the IRS $62,000 after several years of underpayment. She couldn’t pay it all at once and was worried about losing her bank account to a levy. With help from a tax resolution professional, she:
- Provided financial documentation to prove her inability to full pay.
- Qualified for a Non-Streamlined Installment Agreement.
- Began making $975 monthly payments without fear of collections.
Now she’s back in control, compliant with the IRS, and working toward full resolution.
