Understanding common terms related to tax resolution can help you navigate the process more confidently. Below are definitions of key concepts frequently encountered during tax debt resolution.
An installment agreement is a payment plan arranged with tax authorities that allows taxpayers to pay their tax debt over time in manageable monthly amounts rather than a lump sum.

A tax lien is a legal claim by the government against property owned by a taxpayer who has unpaid tax debts. It can impact credit and property ownership rights until the debt is resolved.
Penalties are additional charges assessed on unpaid taxes for late payment or noncompliance, while interest accrues on the unpaid amount over time, increasing the total amount owed.

Choosing the right option depends on your financial condition and long-term goals. Our team helps you evaluate all possibilities to find the most suitable resolution path.
