I was going to have my taxes done by a local taxes service, but decided against it because they seemed to be were not giving me the best service. So I cancelled their service.I had also the next day had them put a stop on my RAL.They said nothing was put through so the process was stopped on anything going through. I took back my W-2 and the woman I talk to said I did not owe them anything because I stopped their services before anything could be processed. Now a week and a couple of days later, I have a credit in my bank account from a tax refund. The tax service had put it through anyway, and they have taken out their processing fee. Because the refund cam back this late(RAL is 48 hours right), I think they processed after I this week without my permission. Now I have other deductions to be added and I was going to use another more reliable service, but how do I give the IRS the money back, with out just making admendments to my taxes. Also what do I do about this bad tax company.

IRS Income Tax Payment Plans?

I have done my taxes (just haven’t filed them yet) and I’m going to have to pay about $3500 this year. This is the first year I have ever had to pay taxes (I generally would get a small refund), so I’m not sure about paying this.

I do not have the money to pay this and do not have available credit on a credit card to pay this either. We have had a really rough year financially, and this is probably only going to make our situation that much worse. So, I’m just trying to figure everything out to ensure that I can even afford to pay back on a payment plan!

Can anyone tell me about how the IRS payment plans are? I mean, for $3500, how much in a monthly payment would I be looking at roughly? I hate the thought of owing the IRS anything, but I feel like I have no other choices. Just need my mind to be assured that it’s going to be ok and the IRS isn’t going to be stalking me until this is paid.

What is the best way to handle this?
I owe the $3500 because I was laid off from my job and at the same time had a family emergency that required a significant expense, so I had to cash out my 401K (which is why I have to pay taxes this year).

This shouldn’t be a problem at all for next year.
I can do $60/month but not a lot more than that, and definitely not over $100. I wasn’t sure how high the interest would be and if it wuold inflate the payments too much.

I thankfully was only without a job for a few weeks before being offered my current job. My fiance has been having trouble with work (self-employed General Contractor) for the past year himself though, so it’s just been really tight.

Paying the taxes back wasn’t going to be a problem because we were going to be receiving a bonus in March of this year, so I was just going to pay them completely off with that. However, with the economy being so bad…I don’t believe that we will be getting those bounses, and if so, they will be considerably less and we don’t know when/if they will be paid out. So, I’m trying to get prepared with my options, under the assumption that I’m not getting this bonus (or winning the lottery – LOL!)
