 If I owe on my federal return, do I wait for the IRS to contact me, or do I go ahead and send in the payment voucher with the amount owed? |
| Do not wait for the IRS to contact you. If you owe taxes, your payment needs to be made by the tax due date in order to avoid penalties and interest. The due date is April 18, instead of April 15, because of the Emancipation Day holiday in the District of Columbia - even if you don't live in the District of Columbia. |

| After completing my tax return this year, I discovered I actually owe taxes. I do not have the money to pay it all at once. Is there any way I could set up a payment plan with the IRS? |
| Yes. If you cannot pay the full amount due as shown on your return, you can ask to make monthly installment payments. However, you will be charged a one-time user fee of $43.00, as well as interest on any tax not paid by its due date. Also, you can be charged a late payment penalty unless you can show reasonable cause for not paying the tax by April 15 even if your request to pay in installments is granted. Before requesting an installment agreement, you should consider less costly alternatives such as a bank loan. To request an installment agreement, send Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, with your return or call (800) 829-1040. You should receive a response within 30 days. For more details on installment payments, refer to Tax Topic 202, What To Do If You Can't Pay Your Tax, or Publication 594, Understanding the Collection Process. |
