Just because you can't pay all of your taxes right now doesn't mean you can't do anything. You have three main paths to look at:

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁-𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗮𝘆
If you can pay the full balance within a few months, the IRS can give you up to 180 days to pay in full. There is no setup fee, though penalties and interest still accrue during that time.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗥𝗦 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
If you owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest, the IRS approves payments over as long as 72 months without requiring detailed financial statements. An approved agreement drops the monthly Failure-to-Pay penalty from 0.5% to 0.25%, slowing the account's growth while you make payments.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗥𝗦 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗙𝗧𝗔)
This administrative waiver depends on your compliance history. If you filed required returns, paid prior balances, and avoided penalties for the past three tax years, the IRS can remove penalties for one tax period. It doesn't erase the tax itself, but it reduces the total balance.

You don’t have to sort through the IRS collection process on your own.

DM us to schedule an appointment to look at your situation.

Turns out the actual rules of that game don't translate very well to real-life financial survival.

Wouldn't we all love to settle a major, overwhelming debt by just giving the bank a tiny deed to Baltic Avenue? Or pull a piece of cardboard out of your pocket to instantly get out of a financial jam?

Dealing with mounting debt takes a little more strategy than just rolling the dice. Real recovery is built on a clear, step-by-step resolution plan that tackles the numbers head-on.

You don't have to navigate financial stress alone. If you need a concrete plan to get back on track, send us a message today and let's fix this together.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗜𝗥𝗔?

Under current SECURE 2.0 laws, you must start taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) at either age 73 (if born between 1951 and 1959) or 75 (if born in 1960 or later).

The IRS lets you delay your first distribution until April 1st of the following year.

But doing this forces your first two RMDs into the same calendar year, creating an artificial income spike that can push you into a higher tax bracket.

Unless you have a specific reason to delay, your next move would be to take that first distribution by December 31st of your initial eligibility year.

Don't let a simple timing error give your hard-earned savings right back to the government at the finish line.

You can, but doing so triggers a permanent monthly payout reduction of up to 30%.

Additionally, filing early changes your tax profile in two main ways:
• Taxable Benefits: If your provisional income crosses $34,000 as an individual (or $44,000 for married couples), the IRS can tax up to 85% of your benefits. Having a pension, part-time wages, or traditional retirement accounts can easily push you over this threshold.
• The Earnings Limit: If you keep working or consulting after claiming, your 2026 annual earnings are capped at $24,480. For every $2 you earn above this amount, the government claws back $1 of your benefits.

If you plan to start your benefits at 62, avoiding a surprise tax bill means watching your income sources closely to protect your check.

Depending on your situation, drawing from cash savings or Roth accounts first keeps your Adjusted Gross Income down, while tracking your part-time hours keeps you under the earnings limit.

DM us if you want to look at your other income streams before you lock in your Social Security filing age.

Clearing tax debt means taking these three steps:

Step 1 - Find out what you owe the IRS.
You can log into your IRS account or have a tax pro pull your IRS account transcripts to verify your balances and make sure all required returns are filed. And determine if you're dealing with payroll tax debt or income tax debt.

Step 2 - Make a plan for how you will pay what you owe.
If you can't pay in full, set up a payment plan. It must be realistic to what you can actually pay and still keep up on new tax deposits or estimated payments.

Step 3 - See if you qualify for a settlement.
There are a few different programs available with the IRS, including an Offer in Compromise.

And if you want help walking out those steps and determining what's the right move for you, comment 𝗧𝗔𝗫 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 below or send us a DM.

Yes, but starting in 2026, itemizers have a new threshold to clear first.

If you itemize deductions, only the portion of your charitable giving that exceeds 0.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be deducted.

Here's a simple example:
• AGI: $200,000
• 0.5% threshold: $1,000
• Charitable donations: $5,000

In this case, the first $1,000 of giving doesn't count toward your deduction. The remaining $4,000 is potentially deductible.

That's why larger donors may want to start planning before year-end.

One strategy is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), which can allow multiple years of charitable giving to be grouped together in a single tax year.

If charitable giving is part of your tax planning, now is a good time to estimate where you stand for 2026 and see how these new rules could affect you.

Comment GIVE below if you'd like help reviewing your charitable giving strategy.

Swiping a card or completing a virtual payment creates a psychological disconnect from the fact that you're spending money. It doesn’t “hurt” quite the same way handing over paper cash does. And that convenience can make it dangerously easy to lose track of the recurring expenses quietly draining your account: streaming service subscriptions, AI softwares, memberships, and autorenewals you forgot existed.

To get control of that missing cash flow, start by pulling your last three months of bank statements.

Go line by line and look for any recurring charges you haven’t actively used in the last 30 days. Then cancel what no longer earns its keep.

Reviewing the actual data helps bridge the gap that digital convenience creates. Sometimes plugging the leaks starts with seeing where the money is actually going.

Do you pay more attention to spending when you use cash or card?

If the IRS sends you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, you have exactly 30 days from the date on that notice to request a Collection Due Process hearing. That hearing is your legal right to challenge the IRS, pause the incoming levy, and propose a different way to handle the debt.

You may be able to resolve it through options like:
• An installment agreement
• An Offer in Compromise
• Currently Not Collectible status

But once that 30-day window passes, your options can get much narrower.

If you received an IRS notice saying they plan to take money from your accounts, send us a message. We can help you review the notice and understand your next step.
