Make Your Tax Debt Disappear

By Marguerite Stanton


A tax debt is an accumulated amount of the unpaid taxes to a government. Arranging to pay for one is a difficult task since most employers withhold a certain percent of the monthly salary to forward to an appropriate agency.

Consequences for the unpaid amount can cause a person to spend a reasonable amount in jail. Other forms of punishment include the ability of the government to get a specific amount from the salary and may impose levies on properties. Often, the Internal Revenue Service allows the debtor to settle it on monthly installments until the amount is fully paid.

To pay off the baggage, one must assess his or her present financial capacity. This requires a person to be realistic on the amount that he or she can truly pay. Make sure that the amount willing to be paid is at the minimum, sixty percent of the money owed.

Borrow money from family and friends. If the government denies one of an installment plans, best acquire money from people around you. These people will offer you with better terms on payment. Beware of scams on loans from banks, do not be tempted on loans which claim to have easy payment terms. Scrutinize these loans more carefully.

Like most agencies, a form is given to every person requesting for installment terms. Fill it with detailed information of employment and assets. The agency will use the data to calculate the reasonable amount for a person to pay.

After filling out the form, make a compromise at the agency. This will allow the agency to accept less on the amount that the person actually owes. In order to request for a compromise, the debtor is to pay at least twenty percent of the amount owed.

After all the steps are done, payment should at least be done once a month. If possible never delay the payment of your tax debt. This gives the creditor a cause to increase the interests in payments.
