If I set up a payment plan for my 2018 tax liability, but I pay it off before I have to file my 2019 taxes, would I have difficulty getting another payment arrangement?

I need to set up a payment arrangement for my taxes this year. I will be able to pay them off by the end of this year but, because I will be devoting a great deal of the money to that liability, I will likely not be able to pay my 2019 liability in full by 2019. Would I likely experience difficulty securing another payment arrangement for that year?

No, you should not have a problem setting up a payment arrangement for 2019 taxes, as long as you are current with your payment arrangement for 2018 taxes.

Some people have multiple payment arrangements going at the same time.  The IRS looks at each year individually.
