Payment plan

[Mikelhouston94]

Hello, 

I filed my taxes back in February through TurboTax and I selected the payment plan option to pay back the federal taxes I owe. However, I have not heard back or gotten any updates about the payment plan from the IRS or TurboTax. I’m getting a little concerned because I don’t want the IRS to take out the full amount owed from my paycheck. 

Any idea on how long this will take or if I should start calling the IRS?

It normally takes the IRS about 30 days after you apply for the payment plan before they mail you information about your plan.  You should call the IRS and speak to an agent to verify that you have an application approved and find out when and how payments need to be made.

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
