An instalment sale agreement between you and a credit provider allows you to buy a vehicle or asset using the principal debt, which you repay by means of regular instalments over an agreed period, with fees and interest.
If the IRS approves an installment agreement, it will generally keep any tax refunds and apply them to your debt. If the IRS agrees to an installment agreement, it may still file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. For more information, see Publication 594, The IRS Collection Process.
Primary tabs. An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances–such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time. Installment contracts can provide that installments are to be performed by either one or both parties.
