Pay over time

Payment plans let you pay your taxes over time.

If you're an individual, set up a payment plan in your Individual Account.

If you're a business, contact the phone number on your notice or call 800-829-4933. We're here 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

Pay later

You can ask us to delay the collection process.

Pay less

You can request an offer in compromise (OIC). This lets you settle your tax debt for less than the full amount.

Request an OIC in your Individual Account. If you're a business, follow the steps to submit an application.
