Every day you wait to act, the cost of your tax debt grows.
Here’s what the IRS can add to your balance, even if you haven’t heard from them yet →
- 0.5% monthly penalty is added to your unpaid tax until it reaches 25%.
- 5% penalty per month is charged if you fail to file, even if you owe nothing.
- $525 minimum penalty applies if you file more than 60 days late.
- 8% interest per year keeps growing daily on what you owe.
- 20% accuracy penalty applies if your return is wrong due to negligence.
- 1% penalty per month kicks in if you ignore the IRS’s final notice.
Penalties are just the beginning; there’s far more at stake.
The IRS can also garnish your wages, freeze your bank accounts, seize your
property, revoke your passport, audit you using AI tools, or even pursue criminal
charges if they believe you’re avoiding them.
These actions don’t happen overnight, but it’s harder to stop them once they begin.
Verni Tax Law helps you take the right installment agreement plan early, before
your options start to disappear.
The IRS offers multiple payment plans!

FAQs
How do I qualify for an IRS installment agreement?
Qualifying depends on how much you owe, your filing history, and your ability to pay. At Verni Tax Law, we review your IRS record, income, and expenses to determine what type of agreement you’re eligible for, so you can apply with confidence and avoid missteps.
What is the difference between a guaranteed and streamlined installment agreement?
A guaranteed agreement is for taxpayers who owe $10,000 or less and meet very specific criteria, including having filed on time in recent years. A streamlined agreement is for balances up to $50,000 and typically doesn’t require a detailed financial disclosure. We help you determine which one applies and make sure it’s filed correctly.
Can I apply for an installment agreement online?
Yes, you can apply for an installment agreement with the IRS online, depending on your specific case. But not every situation should be handled that way. We often see cases where online setups lead to the wrong terms or higher monthly payments. We make sure your agreement reflects your best possible outcome.
What happens if I miss a payment on my IRS installment agreement?
Missing a payment can put the agreement at risk. The IRS may terminate the agreement and resume collection actions. If you’ve already missed a payment or think you might, contact us immediately. We’ll step in to help preserve your agreement or renegotiate if needed.
How much are the setup fees for an IRS installment agreement?
The IRS charges a setup fee that typically ranges from $31 to $225, depending on how you apply and how you choose to make payments.
We walk you through each option so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises, no confusion. Our pricing is clear and transparent, and your first consultation is completely complimentary. It’s your opportunity to get clarity on the process before making any decisions.
Can Verni Tax Law help if I owe more than $50,000?
Yes, absolutely. We regularly help clients with six-figure tax liabilities. When you owe more than $50,000, the IRS usually requires detailed financial disclosures and closer review. We prepare every document, represent you in communications, and work toward a sustainable resolution.
Are penalties and interest added during an installment agreement?
Yes. Even after you start making payments, interest and reduced penalties continue to accrue until the full balance is paid. That’s why it’s important to get the right plan, possibly even a partial payment agreement, to reduce the long-term cost. We’ll help you explore all available options.
How long does it take to set up an IRS installment agreement?
Simple agreements may be processed in a few days. More complex ones, especially those involving higher balances or financial documentation, can take weeks or even months. Our role is to ensure it’s done right and that nothing delays or derails your request.
What documents do I need for Form 9465?
Form 9465 is the official installment agreement IRS form used to request a payment plan. In most cases, you’ll also need your latest tax return, the amount you owe, and supporting financial details—whether personal or business. We guide you through every document, so nothing gets missed.
Can businesses apply for IRS installment agreements?
Yes. Businesses with payroll tax issues or back taxes can request installment agreements, but the process is stricter. We’ve helped many business owners avoid aggressive collection actions by putting the right agreement in place that balances compliance with cash flow.
