Episode Description from the Publisher

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The specific dollar and time limits that differentiate Guaranteed ($10k tax over 3 years) and Streamlined ($50k total liability over 72 months) installment agreements. - When the IRS requires a financial disclosure (Collection Information Statement) for non-streamlined agreements versus when it's not needed. - Why being current on all tax filings is a non-negotiable prerequisite for any type of installment agreement. - How user fees can be reduced through online applications and direct debit, and how an active agreement protects taxpayers from an IRS levy. - The reasons for termination of an agreement, the required 30-day notice period, and the taxpayer's right to appeal the termination.
