Key options for individuals:
- Full payment: pay in full immediately
- Short-term payment plan: pay within 180 days
- Long-term installment agreement: monthly payments over time

- Long-term payment plan
✅ Benefits of an IRS payment plan:
- Immediate notification upon application approval
- Flexibility to revise payment amount or due date online
- Ability to convert to a Direct Debit agreement
- Options to reinstate lapsed plans
Important notes:
- Short-term payment plans may not have setup fees
- Long-term installment agreements involve modest setup fees
- Failure to pay can trigger IRS levies or Notices of Federal Tax Lien
- Eligibility depends on tax owed and compliance with filed returns
