Why IRS Payment Plans Matter
Applying for an IRS payment plan is not just about paying off what you owe, it is about protecting your financial freedom. Without a proper agreement in place, the IRS can garnish wages, seize bank accounts, and file tax liens that damage your credit for years.
Yet with the right plan, you can regain control over your taxes, keep your income, and move closer to peace of mind. Steve Perry EA specializes in helping taxpayers create affordable, IRS approved payments that minimize risk and stop legal actions before they begin.
The Types of IRS Payment Plans
There are several ways to pay the IRS over time, each with distinct rules and benefits depending on how much you owe and your financial situation.
Short Term Payment Plan: For those who can pay their full balance within 180 days
Long Term Payment Plan (Installment Agreement): For taxpayers who need more time, monthly payments can extend for several years
Partial Payment Agreement: For those who cannot pay the full balance but can afford a smaller consistent amount
Currently Not Collectible Status: For taxpayers facing hardship where no payment is possible temporarily
Choosing the wrong option may lead to rejections, extra fees, or continued threats from the IRS. This is where Steve Perry’s guidance can make all the difference.
If you think the IRS will work with you automatically, think again. Payment plan approvals depend heavily on your financial disclosures and how your forms are presented, and Steve ensures your submission checks every box.

How to Apply for an IRS Payment Plan
Applying requires meticulous attention to detail. Here is what the process looks like with professional guidance.
Determine your total balance due using IRS transcripts and notices.
Analyze your financials including income, expenses, and assets to determine what plan fits IRS standards while keeping your budget safe.
Prepare and submit Form 9465 for payment plan requests and possibly Form 433-F or 433-A if more in-depth financial disclosure is required.
Negotiate terms directly with the IRS to ensure payments are realistic and prevent penalties or levy actions.
Monitor compliance after acceptance to ensure every payment posts correctly and future filings remain current.
Without expert help, many taxpayers overstate their ability to pay or miss small details that trigger rejections. Steve Perry EA knows exactly how to structure your proposal for success, whether your debt is a few thousand dollars or tens of thousands.
