How We Can Help You
If you don’t qualify for the IRS Offer In Compromise program, a Payment Plan may be the way to resolve your problem. Setting up a payment plan with the IRS gives you a little more time to pay off your tax debts.
Unfortunately, penalties and interest will continue to be charged on your outstanding balance as you pay the debt off. You are required by law to pay the interest on your tax debt.
The good news is that there’s a chance we can get your tax penalties removed.
Why Choose Molen & Associates to Set Up Your Plan?
We Negotiate on Your Terms
The IRS will often demand a monthly payment that is far higher than you can afford. We don’t just accept their first number. We analyze your “allowable expenses” and fight for a payment amount that fits your actual budget, not the IRS’s aggressive wish list.
Real People, Real Answers, Real Fast
Have questions outside of tax season? You’ll never be on your own. Our team is available year-round for support—not just from January to April. Call, email, or visit us in person. You’ll always get a warm welcome and a helpful answer.
Knowledge of All Options
Not all payment plans are the same. From Streamlined Installment Agreements to Partial Payment Installment Agreements (where you pay less than the total owed), we determine which program puts you in the best financial position and handle the complex paperwork for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
What exactly is an IRS Payment Plan?
An IRS Payment Plan, officially known as an Installment Agreement, is a formal arrangement that allows you to pay your tax debt over a specified period. Instead of having to pay the full balance in one lump sum, you make monthly payments. This is often the best solution for taxpayers who want to be in “good standing” with the government and stop aggressive collection actions like wage garnishments or bank levies.
Do I need to have all my old tax returns filed before I can start a payment plan?
Can I set the monthly payment amount myself, or does the IRS decide?
Will interest and penalties stop growing once I’m on a payment plan?
What happens if I set up a plan but then my financial situation changes?
Is there a fee to set up a payment plan with the IRS?
What is a "Partial Payment Installment Agreement" (PPIA)?
A PPIA is a unique type of plan for taxpayers who truly cannot afford to pay the full amount they owe before the 10-year collection statute expires. In these cases, we provide the IRS with a detailed look at your income and expenses to negotiate a lower monthly payment. If the clock runs out before the debt is paid off, the remaining balance is typically forgiven.
Can I still get my tax refund if I’m on a payment plan?
Why should I hire Molen & Associates to set up my plan instead of doing it myself?
