Owe federal taxes

[Melfusco1982]

I filed my taxes on March 6th and it was accepted the same day. I owe federal taxes and want to make a payment plan but when I log into my IRS account it says my balance is zero?? Why is it not showing for the IRS yet??? Please help!

It is likely too early to be showing. You can call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday.

If you have already filed your taxes, you will have to set up installment payments directly with the IRS. ‌You can apply for a payment plan (Form 9465) at the IRS Payment Plans and Installment Agreements website.

Your specific tax situation determines which payment options are available to you. Payment options include full payment, a short-term payment plan or a long-term payment plan

The IRS does charge a user fee for setting up or reinstating an installment agreement.

Entering into an installment agreement can provide you with peace of mind that the IRS will not pursue any of the harshest collection methods at its disposal, but interest and penalty charges will continue to accrue on your unpaid tax balances
