IRS Installment Agreements for Pinellas Residents

A payment plan with the IRS. Simple in concept, strategic in execution if you know the rules.

By Darrin T. Mish, tax attorney

Owe $50,000 or less? Streamlined installment agreement: no financial disclosure, pick a payment that covers the balance in 72 months. Over $50,000? Financial disclosure required, and the IRS calculates what you can afford based on Pinellas County cost-of-living standards.

Is a Payment Plan Best?

Not always. If the collection statute expires soon, CNC status might cost less. If your RCP is low, an OIC could resolve the debt for a fraction. A payment plan is the default, but it's not always the cheapest path.

For help figuring out the right option, schedule a free consultation.
