FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE BACK TAX RELIEF

Don’t expect to get any breaks from the state of Florida when it comes to tax liabilities.  Act quick or you could be in serious trouble.

FL-DOR Monthly Payment Plan

• Be prepared to pay an initial down payment of 25% of your total back tax liability to get into a 6-month Installment Agreement on the remaining balance.
• In many cases the FL-DOR will allow Installment Agreements of 6-month intervals. 5 months at a lower payment amount with a lump sum, full payment in the sixth month.  If you are able to maintain current tax compliance and your monthly Installment Agreement payment, you may be allowed to renew the Agreement for another 6 months instead of paying the lump sum due at the end of the agreement. 
• Be prepared to provide financial information to set up your Installment Agreement and any renewal.

State of Florida Offer in Compromise

Although the State of Florida has the ability to settle a tax liability for less than the full amount owed, it’s not clear under what circumstances the state will realistically consider doing it.
