PAYMENT PLANS TO RESOLVE WASHINGTON BACK TAXES


Washington Department of Revenue (WA-DOR) takes a firm stance on back-tax debts. The bottom line is that the WA-DOR wants a tax liability paid in full as fast as possible and does not have a set number of months that are allowed for Payment Agreements.  

To be considered for a Payment Agreement to satisfy your Washington tax liability, you will be required to submit detailed financial statement forms and supporting documentation.  All Payment Agreements are granted on a case by case basis and a tax warrant will always be filed.  Full tax compliance is a must to qualify!

Penalty Relief


If lack of funds or inability to pay is your reason for requesting Penalty Relief or a Settlement from the WA-DOR, you’re out of luck.  The state doesn’t consider these as legitimate reasons for reducing a tax liability and/or the penalties associated with it.

However, Washington may consider removing penalty on one period if you have a clean record for the previous two years.

TAX RESOLUTION CASE EXAMPLES


The Washington Department of Revenue has some flexibility when it comes to back tax liabilities.  Each case varies based on factors such as your compliance history, type of tax owed and total amount past due.  Here are some case examples in your state negotiated by M&M.
