Setting up an installment agreement is probably the simplest way to manage your tax debt and get it paid off. The IRS offers several different types of agreements to fit taxpayer needs, and payments can run up to 10 years. Taxpayers who owe less than $25,000 may qualify for a streamlined installment agreement, in which you pay down the debt over a five-year period. If you owe less than $50,000, the Fresh Start Initiative allows you to extend payments to six years. Partial and full-payment plans are also available to taxpayers who do not qualify for other programs and are based on a financial statement and information submitted by the taxpayer.
