On Monday, November 2, the IRS unveiled new debt relief options for taxpayers who are still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.
Under the new system, taxpayers who still owe money to the government will have more options for making payments and alternatives for paying off balances.
Taxpayers who qualify for the short-term payment plan option can now get up to 180 days to pay, instead of the usual 120 days.
