IRS rules are constantly changing as to what type of Installment Agreement a taxpayer can qualify for. This also depends on the type of tax debt. Individual taxpayers who owe up to $50,000.00 (in some cases more) can pay through monthly direct debit payments for up to six years and avoid the imposition of a tax lien.

Delinquent payroll taxes can be one of the most serious tax related issues out there, leading to serious federal charges along with IRS penalties. It's much more serious than income tax, and employment taxes are always given a higher priority by the IRS and their collections/enforcement departments.

Not staying in compliance will default ANY tax resolution in the future including an Offer In Compromise. In the vast majority of cases the IRS demands taxpayers file personal taxes for only the last 6 years if they had a filing requirement. States can demand you file tax returns for much longer. Again even after you resolve your taxes not staying current with your tax filings will default any resolution if you don't file required tax returns.

A Wage Garnishment is when the IRS forces your employer to send a portion, if not all of your pay to the IRS. In rare cases the IRS can take 100% of your paycheck.
