Our records show that you (or your predecessor) previously requested a hearing under IRC Section 6330 that included an employment tax period falling within the two-year period. We've already sent you several notices about the amount you owe. What happens if I can't pay what I owe? You can apply online for a payment plan (including installment agreements).
