How will this affect me?If the IRS accepts your request for an agreement, be sure you follow the instructions and make your payments on time every month. Contact the IRS immediately if you can’t make a payment. You need to know that even with an installment agreement, your future refunds will be applied to your tax debt until it is paid in full. This helps pay your taxes off as quickly as possible. If you’re experiencing a hardship — For example: You need your refund to pay basic living expenses such as rent, utilities or food, you should contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service. If you default by missing a payment(s), the installment agreement may be terminated, and the IRS may begin taking enforcement action. It’s important to select the agreement that meets your personal situation and allows you to make your payments every month and on time. A common source of tax debt isn’t having enough money withheld. If this is happening to you, consider revising your IRS Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, to avoid this problem in future years.
