Are you aware that interest and penalties do not stop with an installment agreement/payment plan? You can save money by paying the full amount you owe, as quickly as possible; to minimize the interest and penalties you will be charged. Penalties and interest will continue to be charged on the unpaid portion of the debt throughout the duration of the installment agreement/payment plan.
Remember, the interest rate on a loan or credit card may be lower than the combination of penalties and interest imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. It is best that you pay as much as possible before entering into an agreement. See the example showing how borrowing money to pay your taxes could cost you less than an installment agreement.
A Notice of Federal Tax Lien would also be avoided, thereby maintaining your credit standing. Additionally, the installment agreement fee would not apply.
Paying your taxes in full, or partially paying your tax liabilities through liquidating or borrowing against real estate or personal property (bank accounts, stocks, bonds, 401(k) plans, or life insurance), would cost less than an installment agreement.
