New York City's Offer-in-Compromise program allows qualifying financially distressed taxpayers to settle their non-property tax debt for less than the full amount owed.
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 .
Under the agreement, you'll make monthly payments toward your unpaid tax balance. The fastest and easiest way to request an IPA is through your Online Services account. Through your account, you can request an IPA for a balance of $20,000 or less, and with 36 or fewer scheduled monthly payments.
Log in to your Online Services account (You'll need to create an account if you don't already have one). Select the ≡ Services menu in the upper left-hand corner of your Account Summary homepage. Select Payments, bills and notices, and then Installment payment agreement from the drop-down menu.
A state of New York tax payment plan is available to any taxpayer owing $20,000 or less. A plan can include up to 36 monthly payments.
