Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Streamlined Installment Agreement (SIA)?

An SIA is a simplified payment plan offered by the IRS to individuals and businesses with tax debts of $50,000 or less (individuals) or $25,000 or less (businesses). It differs from traditional installment agreements because it doesn’t require extensive financial documentation.

Who Qualifies for a Streamlined Installment Agreement with the IRS?

To qualify for an SIA, you must:

  • Owe $50,000 or less in individual taxes (or $25,000 or less for businesses).
  • File your tax returns on time.
  • Agree to make payments within a specified timeframe.
  • Not be in bankruptcy.
  • Pay a setup fee.

What Happens if I Miss a Payment on an SIA?

While the IRS may be lenient for one or two missed payments, continued missed payments could lead to the termination of your SIA. If the agreement is terminated, the IRS may take further collection actions, such as asset seizure.

What Are the Alternatives to an SIA?

If you don’t qualify for an SIA, you might be eligible for:

  • Offer in Compromise: Offering a compromise may allow you to settle your IRS debt for a lower amount.
  • Partial Payment Installment Agreement: This is a more complex agreement that requires financial disclosure.
  • Financial Hardship Claim: If you can prove financial hardship, the IRS might temporarily suspend collection efforts.

 

What are the setup fees for a Streamlined Installment Agreement (SIA)?

The setup fees for an SIA depend on how you set up the payment plan:

  • Using the Online Payment Agreement (OPA) and direct debit: $31.
  • Using the OPA and paying by check or money order: $130.
  • Not using the OPA and paying by direct debit: $107.
  • Not using the OPA and paying by check or money order: $225.

 

If you need to reinstate or restructure your SIA, there is a fee of $89 ($10 if you use the OPA).

It’s important to note that these fees may change. It is always a good idea to verify the current fees with the IRS before setting up an SIA.
