Get your taxes done using TurboTax

AnswerXChange is a public forum, and we can't give you the kind of personalized help you are requesting. You can get that kind of assistance by calling Customer Service, but you will have a hard time reaching them before April 18.

Please consider applying for a free extension of time to file. This will give you some breathing room to explore your options.

If you have a balance due on your tax return, you have two choices: 

  1. If you owe less than $50,000, you can apply for a payment plan or installment agreement. This can be done online, but it may cost up to $120. 

  2. If you think you can repay the debt within a year, you can send what you can by mail without the installment agreement. The IRS will charge you 3% interest on the unpaid balance beginning the day after the due date. They will send you a letter after each payment thanking you for the check and reminding you that you still owe.
