NewsWK — New federal legislation introduced in the United States Senate aims to provide relief to taxpayers working to settle their balances with the Internal Revenue Service.
Waiving IRS Payment Plan Fees
According to legislative records published by GovInfo, Senate Bill 5144 proposes an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that would eliminate user fees charged for entering into installment agreements for certain qualifying individuals.
Under current law, the IRS assesses processing fees when taxpayers set up payment plans to pay off outstanding tax debts over time. The proposed bill seeks to remove these administrative costs for eligible taxpayers, reducing financial burdens on citizens who are attempting to fulfill their federal tax liabilities in good faith.
The bill has been formally introduced in the Senate and awaits further committee review as part of the legislative process.
