IRS Pledges Greater Flexibility to Help Distressed Taxpayers on Payment Plans

Although the IRS is pledging to be kinder and gentler to taxpayers in these challenging times, it is still important to meet your installment payment requirements. However, the IRS has announced that they will “try” to be more flexible with taxpayers who miss an installment payment.

One way recession-burdened Americans can settle back taxes is by negotiating an Installment Agreement with the government that that allows payment of liabilities over time. And now, if a taxpayer with an existing installment agreement is worried about missing a payment because of a job loss or other financial hardship, Shulman has assured the public that a missed payment will no longer lead to an automatic end to that agreement.

Additionally, the IRS has announced that it is more likely to forgive a missed payment and they’ve instructed staff to not automatically default someone who is having trouble.
