Tax debt - many would love to have it.
Businesses across the nation are having a hard time. How that affects your personal taxes isn't always clear - especially if you need to set up a payment plan for tax debt.
Let's go over the ins and outs of paying off tax debt so you can start breathing easier. Keep reading!
Using Personal Loans
When you use a personal loan to pay off taxes, the fixed and predictable payments can give you more control over your debt repayment. By choosing a loan, you can make payments that fit your time frame and monthly budget.
It is important to consider the conditions, annual percentage rate, and your ability to make consistent payments. Additionally, you may be able to deduct the interest payments from your taxes.
Using Credit Card
If you owe taxes and want to pay them on your own terms, one way to do so is by using a credit card. This is a great way to help you pay off your debt without feeling too much of a financial strain.
Make sure to do your research and find the best card for your situation. Once you have chosen the card you'd like to use, contact the IRS to see if they accept credit cards for payment.
Finally, make sure you pay off your balance during the 0% APR window to avoid any costly fees. With careful planning and budgeting, you can pay off your tax debt on your own terms.
Refinancing Your Home
By refinancing, you can get a lower interest rate and lower your monthly mortgage payment. When it comes to paying off your tax debt, make sure you compare rates from multiple lenders and consider the terms of each one.
With a home equity loan, you'll get the money upfront. With a cash-out refinance, you can get a larger loan with a lower rate and have the balance of your debt spread out over time.
Set Up an Installment
Contact the IRS to inform them of your desire to pay off your debt. You may need to provide financial documents, such as an income tax return and details of your assets and liabilities to ensure you can afford the payment plan.
Then you can set up a payment schedule and calculate the amount you must pay each month. You may also be able to negotiate a payment plan that covers only a portion of the debt.
Additionally, the tax debt compromise program allows taxpayers to negotiate and settle their tax debt with the IRS for less than they owe for a fresh start.
Filing For Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy can be a way to get out from under the burden of your taxes. You must meet with a bankruptcy attorney to evaluate your situation and advise on the best path forward. They may recommend that you enter into an Offer in Compromise with the IRS.
Whatever route you take to pay taxes, be sure to keep good records of your payments and communications with the IRS. Adhering to your terms will help you get back on track and avoid future tax-related issues.
