Here's the deal...
you owe back taxes to the IRS. You don't qualify for any special programs to reduce the debt you owe, so the IRS has offered to set you up on an Installment Agreement monthly payment plan. You can now pay off your tax debt just like you would with a credit card. Things with the IRS are never that simple.

A world of pain...
The first thing you need to know is that an IRS payment plan is not going to be to your advantage (when setup by the revenue officer, without help from a specialized tax attorney). Your "minimum" payment is going to be high, and may not even be possible for you to maintain. So what is the framework for an Installment Agreement with the most powerful collection agency in the World?
  • The IRS determines what your payment will be. How do they do this? They take how much money you have coming in, then deduct your "basic" living expenses. And these are so basic that several of your important bills are not even considered as basic such as credit card payments, payments on luxury items like boats, private school for your kids, etc... The IRS then takes your income minus your basic living expenses and the remaining amount is what you have to pay them each month.

  • Speaking of paying them each month, they are serious about you paying on time each month. You can't make partial payments, your payments can not be late, and don't even think about skipping a payment.

  • If you fail to make a payment, and the IRS doesn't care why, you are in default of your payment agreement. The IRS may let you slide once, but a second time guarantees that an IRS-Hitman comes for your assets, your bank accounts, everything.

  • You can also default through no fault of your own. If you owe taxes for a year that you're in a payment plan you automatically default and have to negotiate a new plan immediately.

  • Interest constantly add on to the debt, so if your payments are less than the amount of interest you won't see that debt go down, and that is frustrating.

  • If your financial situation improves, such as you get a raise at work, then the IRS knows about that and demands a new higher payment.
Here are the facts: 97% of all Installment plans fail. The IRS wants you to default. Why? So they can collect their money faster by garnishing your wages and seizing your accounts and assets.
