FL-DOR PAYMENT PLANS TO RESOLVE BACK TAXES

The state of Florida does not mess around when it comes to collecting delinquent taxes.  If your business is behind on Florida Sales Tax, Reemployment Tax or Corporate Income Tax it is best to proactively address the situation as quickly as possible.  Otherwise, the FL-DOR will refer your case to a collection attorney.  Once this happens you are likely out of options.

The Department of Revenue will allow 6-month Stipulation Agreement (monthly installment agreement) for a business to pay back the tax due. In certain cases, Florida will allow installment agreements in 6 to 12-month intervals that can be renewed each year.  Of course, this depends on your tax compliance moving forward.

You may be asked to pay as much as 25% of the total due up front as a down payment just to get into a monthly payment plan.

Many taxpayers cannot set up a payment plan with the FL-DOR by simply making a phone call and requesting it.  You will likely be required to submit detailed financial statement forms, maintain full tax compliance and don’t forget about that 25% down payment.

Offer in Compromise and Penalty Abatement

A settlement?  Effectively no, nope, nej, nein, nyet.  

As for penalty relief, in our experience the FL-DOR is not willing to abate penalties associated with tax debts.
