S 5144 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate installment agreement fees for certain individuals.

This bill proposes to remove the fees charged for setting up installment payment plans with the IRS for taxpayers with low incomes. Specifically, it would exempt individuals whose adjusted gross income is at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level from paying these administrative costs. The change would only apply to new payment agreements entered into after a 12-month waiting period following the law's enactment. By eliminating these fees, the legislation aims to make debt relief options more accessible to financially struggling Americans without altering the underlying tax obligations.
