The Internal Revenue Service offers payment plans for self-employed. If you are a sole-proprietor or independent contractor you are entitled to apply for a payment plan as an individual. The particular circumstances related to your back taxes determine your payment options.
The payment options for sole-proprietors and independent contractors include full payment, a 120-day short-term payment plan or an installment agreement (payments for more than 120 days).
Qualification
To qualify for a long-term payment plan your tax debt must be $50,000 or less including penalties and interest (see https://fasttaxhelp.org/irs-penalties-and-interest-abatement/ for more information) all of your tax filings must be up to date (no unfiled tax returns). If you owe $100,000 or less including penalties interest and all of your returns are up to date you may qualify for a short-term payment plan. Set up fees may also be incurred.
Payment Plans
***If your payment plan is approved and you owe more than $25,000 you will be required to make direct debit payments from your checking account.
A short-term payment plan does not have a setup fee but will accrue penalties and interest until the balance is paid in full. A short-term payment plan requires automatic payments from your checking account, debit or credit card, check or money order. There will be additional fees if your payment is with a card.
There are two types of long-term payment plans offered (installment agreements). (1) Payments made through automatic withdrawal, there is a $31 set up fee. Penalties and interest will continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full. (2) Payments not paid through direct debit include a $149 set up fee. Penalties and interest will continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full. This plan can be paid by check, money order, debit or credit card. There is an additional fee if paid by credit card.
