What is the advantage of a payment plan? The only advantage of going with such a payment agreement is that possibility of paying back your debt over a long period, in equally or otherwise distributed installments. In this way, an individual comes in a safer place somehow. What are the disadvantages? There are certain obvious disadvantages that come with this kind of settlement. The major disadvantage is that penalty that one will pay each month until and unless he clears his debt. These penalties remain growing in a way that, sometimes the amount paid becomes many times of the due amount. What is the criterion? As far as the eligibility criterion is concerned, it seems quite simple. However, meeting this criterion does not mean that the applicant is ready to go through now. There are several other procedural loops and regulations, and each applicant will face them. As a reference, you can keep in mind that, for an individual taxpayer the total debt should not exceed $50,000 and for a business taxpayer this limit is set at $25,000. Please note that these limits are inclusive of all the penalties too. Should I keep filing my returns? This is something very important. In fact, anyone without a hundred percent compliance in this regard can fall short of going to a tax payment plan. Therefore, whether you are paying it in full, or you are not paying your tax at all you still have to file your returns Should I seek Professional Support? Experts suggest in favor of seeking a professional's support. This is something highly technical in nature and only a person with a complete grasp of law can understand it well. The process, on the other hand, is a very complicated one. Therefore, you should seek a competent person with having, � A credible place in the market � Enough credentials to represent you unlimitedly � Expertise across the tax laws � Relevant experience, necessary to get a tax payment plan materialized
