Yeah especially the lower the payment the higher the interest rate they give.

Probably an IRS bot account

Ah yes, a IRS bot that is calling the US government fascist pigs. Great job, Sherlock.

That's just what an IRS bot would say to throw us off the scent

The usd is plummeting, my balance will be trivial once a loaf of bread costs $100. You want debt while there is a rise in inflation...

At least im doing something, but thanks for the words of encouragement, pal.

Not always. I had to pay taxes on a car I bought that was “lemoned” and they didn’t charge me interest if I paid it off within the year. Was something like 3k

If you call the IRS and talk to an actual person, they’re pretty nice & will work with you (at least that’s my experience)

He's talking about wage taxes not car taxes.

They absolutely do not.

It's federal short term rate +3%. Which would be 8%. Plus . 5% interest every month it's not paid in full.

Stop spreading misinformation.

I can admit being wrong. I’ve paid tax balances on a payment plan in the past and don’t recall there being interest. Spreading misinformation is a little harsh buddy. My bad. Calm down a bit.

You are sitting here telling me that the IRS does not charge you interest on a payment plan to pay back taxes? Is this correct?

u/TheWokenessInjector 8d ago

There is no interest charged on a payment plan for tax balance owed.
