If your financial situation has changed since your last tax return, or you can’t get on an installment plan because the amount the IRS requests is too high, there are a few other options. You can submit an up-to-date financial statement demonstrating any current hardship and detailing wages earned and expected from work or other income for the year ahead. If you can demonstrate that your income is insufficient for the IRS to collect all of what you owe within the time period they have to collect, you may be able to get penalties and interest reduced, or part of your tax debt canceled.
