I live in florida...after speaking with an IRS agent in collections..she said that my current boyfriend would have to pay for my taxes. Is this correct...just seems odd....we are not engaged and she is threatning to take his vehicle for my delq taxes. I have offered to set up an installment plan...but she stated she would have to run that by her manager. Any feedback would be hlpful.

I have one question. Did you get an ID number and name from the representative that you spoke with.? If so you need to call the Taxpayer Advocates office immediately and report the person and the ID number to them.
The IRS had to outsource some collection work to outside collection agencies. though they are supposed to follow the same guidelines as an IRS employee is held to, many are not and are using threatening tatics which by law is not allowed. If you did not get the ID number and they call again, make sure to get the name and ID number and if they pull the same tatics call the Advocates office to file a complaint.

How would the IRS agent even no you had a boyfriend? The only way he would be responsible for your debt is if you filed the return together, other then that, she's just blowing smoke up your butt. It's a scare tactic to ensure they get there money.
I went to the IRS web page and found the following:
Taxpayers wishing to pay off a tax debt through an installment agreement, and owe:
*
$25,000 or less in combined tax, penalties, and interest can use the Online Payment Agreement (OPA) or call the number on the bill or notice (have the bill or notice available, along with the social security number). A fill-in Request for Installment Agreement, Form 9465, is available online that can be mailed to the address on the bill.
*
More than $25,000 in combined tax, penalties, and interest may still qualify for an installment agreement, but a Collection Information Statement, Form 433F may need to be completed. Call the number on the bill or mail the Request for Installment Agreement, Form 9465 and Form 433F to the address on the bill.
You will receive a written notification telling you whether your terms for an installment agreement have been accepted or if they need to be modified.
So, instead of dealing with this woman, just go to www.irs.gov and in the search window type Payment Plan, and it will take you to where I got the information. From there you should be able to fill out the paperwork on-line to start a payment plan. But one thing, if you start this payment plan, make the payments EVERY month. You miss one payment and they throw the deal out the window and send you a bill for the remaining debt. So make sure you choose an amount you can afford to pay every month.
Good luck!

There is no way that they can take your boyfriends vehicle for your deliquent taxes. She is just being a u-know-what and trying to scare you into paying all at once. Installment plans are never rejected for alot of reasons. For one thing, setting up an installment agreement doesn't stop the interest from accuring. The goverment doesn't have anything to lose. They are more likely to get money little by little from taxpayers than forcing them to pay something they don't have all at once. Anyways, dowload a blank Installment Agreement - Form 9565 and fill that out and mail it to the IRS.

The IRS agent is not correct. Your boyfriend would not have to pay for your taxes, unless you both filed a joint tax return. She's just blowing smoke.

Rob is basically correct.except i don't think the advocate can help you much at this point. IRS can not go after boyfriends assets. You may have no recourse at this point except to deal with the person, But you can demand to speak to her supervisor and complain about any odd, rude treatment. You should have rec'd a document from IRS explaining for your rights, ask for it again. You can always write you US Senator or congressperson, they can insure IRS treats you properly.

No, unless your name is on the title with his for his possessions, his possessions can't be taken for your debt. If an IRS agent in collections really told you that, she should be reported to her supervisor.
