I can’t make my IRS tax payment, what do I do?
IRS has flexibility if you can’t make tax payments due to financial woes. Call the phone numbers in the IRS correspondence you receive.
The IRS can:
- Postpone collection actions;
- Be flexible about missed or reduced installment-agreement payments;
- Re-value real estate by negotiating an Offer in Compromise (OIC);
- Offer ways to avoid default on an OIC;
- Speed up refunds, release levies, and take other actions to help taxpayers.
