Comments on: Fearing the Taxman: When Not To Be Scared http://www.taxgirl.com/fearing-the-taxman-when-not-to-be-scared/ Paying taxes is painful... but reading about them shouldn't be. Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:18:36 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Harvey, EA http://www.taxgirl.com/fearing-the-taxman-when-not-to-be-scared/comment-page-1/#comment-11589 Harvey, EA Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:01:40 +0000 http://www.taxgirl.com/fearing-the-taxman-when-not-to-be-scared/#comment-11589 Nice post. In regard to #3, the IRS offers a fast track installment plan for any taxpayer owing $10,000 or less. If you meet that debt criteria and are compliant you are pretty much guaranteed to have this option available to you. Normally, this program lets the taxpayer repay their debt in 60 months. Of course you still may be subject to interest and penalties over that time, but this is usually a great option if you can't pay off your debt immediately. If you owe more than $10,000, you will need your installment plan to be approved by the IRS, which isn't always a sure thing... Nice post.

If you owe more than $10,000, you will need your installment plan to be approved by the IRS, which isn’t always a sure thing…

I admit I'm one of those folks afraid of the tax audit. I tend to way under claim deductions because I don't want to red flag anything. But this year, I'm doing a much better job of keeping all my receipts/documents well organized so I feel comfortable with taking the deductions owed to me. Thanks for the list Kelly.
