Tax Bill Too High? Here’s How to Pay It Off Smartly

 If you're filing your 2024 federal tax return and owe more than you can afford right now, you're not alone — and you have options. The IRS offers several payment plans to help taxpayers stay in good standing while paying off their balance over time. 



Key Deadlines to Remember: 

  • Tax filing deadline: April 15, 2025 

  • Late filing penalty: 5% per month 

  • Interest: 0.5% per month, or 7% annually 

Filing your return on time — even if you can’t pay the full amount — helps you avoid the steepest penalties. And paying as much as you up front will reduce interest accumulation. 

Payment Plan Options: 

  1. Short-Term Plan: 

  1. For balances under $100,000 

  1. Up to 180 days to pay in full 

  1. Long-Term Installment Plan: 

  1. For balances under $50,000 

  1. Monthly payments for up to 10 years 

  1. Direct Debit option available to avoid missed payments 

Additional Relief Options: 

  • Offer in Compromise: Settle for less than you owe (if eligible) 

  • Temporary Delay of Collection: If you're unable to pay, the IRS may pause enforcement 

How to Apply: 
Use the IRS Online Payment Agreement tool — no paperwork, no in-person visits. Immediate approval is possible if you qualify.
