Unlikely to pass
Most small tax bills like this do not pass on their own and usually need to be added to a much larger spending or tax package to move forward.
Key Points
This bill would stop the IRS from charging fees to set up monthly payment plans for people with lower incomes. It applies to anyone making 250 percent of the federal poverty level or less.
Right now, the IRS often charges a fee when someone asks to pay their back taxes over time instead of all at once. This bill would remove that extra cost for families who are already struggling to pay their tax bills.
The change would take effect one year after the bill is signed into law. It would apply to all new payment agreements made after that time.
This plan aims to help people settle their debts with the government more easily. By removing the setup fee, it makes it less expensive for low-income taxpayers to stay in good standing with the IRS.
