How do I? Arrange an installment payment agreement with the IRS?
|
The IRS always urges taxpayers to pay their current tax liabilities when due, to avoid interest and penalties. Taxpayers who can't pay the full amount are urged to pay as much as they can, for the same reason. But some taxpayers cannot pay their full tax liability by the normal April 15 deadline (April 18th in 2016 because of the intersection of a weekend and a District of Columbia holiday).
One alternative is to enter into an installment payment agreement with the IRS, where taxpayers agree in writing to make monthly payments to the IRS and to reduce their tax liability to zero over a reasonable period of time. The IRS may also agree to an installment payment arrangement for back taxes. Penalties and interest may continue to accrue, although the IRS may reduce the penalties. While the IRS is authorized to enter into a partial payment installment agreement for a portion of the taxpayer's liability, the agency has been reluctant to do this.

A Joint Committee on Taxation study identified several major impediments to retirement savings: lack of access to workplace plans; high costs of starting and maintaining plans, especially for small employers; low employee coverage and participation rates; the lack of lifetime income options; and the use of savings before retirement (known as leakage). Key policy goals to remedy these shortfalls include increased access, participation and contribution levels; reduced leakage of account balances; and the promotion of a greater number of lifetime income options.
