Illinois Department of Revenue sales tax payment plan
If you have a substantial amount of sales tax owed to the State, you are probably thinking about getting on a payment plan. Payment plans are never a one-size fits all policy with the State as they tend to be with the IRS. For example, the IRS will give a taxpayer a 60 months streamline payment plan for debts under $25,000.00, regardless of how much the taxpayer earns.
In the case of sales tax, if your business is currently open, you may get a payment plan between 12-60 months. This depends on how many payment plans that you may have had in the past, the amount due, and even a down payment. If your business is now closed, you have the most latitude and can hope for a payment plan closer to the 60 month mark. However, if your business is currently open and you are seeking a payment plan, then, the State knows that you are also in a mode of desperation and will want to hit you with the most aggressive payment plan as possible.
Obviously, if you are in a revocation status or have a revocation hearing, a payment plan is not in your cards. It is either pay in full or close your doors.
