Pay Plans

Pay plans are typically used to satisfy obligations in which the taxpayer cannot satisfy the total obligation with one lump payment. Payments received are used to satisfy tax, penalty, and interest. Pay plans are typically negotiated between the tax authority and taxpayer. The negotiated payment amount and specific date intervals of the pay plan include such factors as total obligation amount and the taxpayer's ability to pay. Examples in which a payment plan should be used include:

Pay plans can cover one or more obligations linked to any account of the taxpayer. You can have multiple active pay plans for an account, but any given obligation can only be covered by a single pay plan at any point in time.
