PAYMENT PLANS TO RESOLVE VIRGINIA BACK TAXES

The best way for many taxpayers to settle their Virginia Department of Taxation tax liability is through a Payment Agreement.  If you receive a Notice of Assessment from VA-DOT, it’s imperative you set up a Payment Agreement within 30 days of the date on the notice.  Otherwise, it may be difficult to get an Agreement approved.    

Here are the basic parameters of VT-DOT Payment Plans:

An Automated Monthly Payment Plan may be set up if you owe less than $25,000 in tax, penalties and interest. You cannot have the following actions on your account for this agreement.

• Padlock
• Revocation
• Criminal Warrant
• Current Bankruptcy
• Assignment to Virginia Tax Field Agent
• Assigned to an Outside Collection Agency
• and more

If you owe more than $25,000 you may be required to pay 10% to 20% down payment and 12 months is the standard term allowed. You may be able to negotiate up to 24 months or more. Additional stipulations may apply. We successfully negotiated a 96 month Installment Agreement in 2022 and a 47 month Installment Agreement in 2021 for clients in Virginia.

Offer in Compromise & Penalty Relief

Virginia does have an Offer n Compromise (OIC) program available for those that have accrued a tax liability and cannot pay the total balance due.  The OIC may also be used to request the abatement of penalties greater than $2,000, if you’ve had a circumstance out of your control and did not willingly neglect your tax obligation.
