The IRS offers installment payment agreements as a solution for taxpayers who cannot pay their tax debts in a lump sum.

This money is not refundable, even if the IRS rejects your offer (the IRS will only apply it to your tax bill).
A lump sum cash offer is defined as an offer payable in 5 or fewer installments within 5 or fewer months after the acceptance of the offer.
