Having an IRS installment agreement in place is a step in the right direction when it comes to resolving your tax debt. However, there may be instances where you find yourself unable to afford the agreed-upon payments. It is important to address this situation promptly to avoid any potential consequences.
If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot afford to pay your IRS installment agreement, there are a few options you can consider:
- Contact the IRS: Reach out to the IRS as soon as possible to explain your financial situation. They may be willing to modify your existing agreement based on your current income and expenses. Be prepared to provide documentation to support your claims.
- Seek professional help: It may be beneficial to consult with a tax professional or an enrolled agent who can navigate the complexities of the IRS system on your behalf. They can help negotiate with the IRS and explore potential alternatives to your current installment agreement.
- Explore other payment options: If modifying your existing agreement is not possible, you may need to consider alternative payment arrangements. This could include requesting a temporary suspension of payments or exploring other tax settlement options such as an offer in compromise.
Remember, failing to address the issue can lead to serious consequences. The IRS has the authority to take enforcement actions, such as placing a tax lien on your property or garnishing your wages. It is crucial to take proactive steps to resolve your tax debt and communicate with the IRS to find a solution that works for both parties.
