A Payment Plan was Accepted and Set-Up, Why Did I Still Receive a Threatening IRS Letter?
This section is for taxpayers that want assurance that their payment plan is in motion, and no adverse or negative penalties or interest is accruing on their account. Reading this small paragraph / example below should help you better understand why you most likely received the penalty and interest letter(s). Understanding the way the IRS automated system works is key.
The best way to explain this common problem is by example.
Let’s say you filed your taxes on-time, and their was a balance owed to the IRS of $3500.
- You could only afford to pay $1,000 at the time of filing, leaving you with a $2,500 balance.
- Your tax professional put you on a payment plan to pay $500 per month for 5 months.
- The payment plan was accepted, and all is well.. until:
You receive an IRS letter outlining your $2,500 balance is subject to interest and penalties.. What Happened?
The short answer is: Nothing unusual happened (IRS business as usual happened), when you file and there is a balance owed the IRS automated system triggers an automated letter which is then sent to you saying “hey taxpayer you owe us this, and if arrangements aren’t made you’ll owe us this”. The automated system does not know yet that you or or your tax professional set up a payment plan. The IRS automated system is always behind, look a it as an old news regurgitator. Although, it is a way to let taxpayers know what can happen if actions aren’t taken.
