I have an installment agreement with the IRS that has been in place for right at 10 years now. It includes personal income taxes due and employment taxes that were behind in my business at the time. I have made timely payments every month and they have kept tax incentives and overpayments over the years. There is still a balance, but I was just told by a friend they only have ten years to collect, even though the agreement was based on a monthly payment amount which would naturally take much longer. They never placed a lien, just this installment agreement. Is this true? And if so, what do I need to do to get the agreement noted as paid in full or whatever it would be. Your advise and direction is valued please.
