Installment Agreement

You may qualify for monthly payments with an installment agreement. While on an approved installment agreement:

• Penalties and interest will continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full.
• A tax lien may be placed to protect the state’s interest in resolving the debt.
• Your Michigan tax refund will be redirected to your collections account and applied to the end of the plan, which may shorten the length of the arrangement.
• New debts and missed payments may cancel your plan and collection actions may resume.

• Treasury will ask for information from you including a proposed monthly payment amount.
• Treasury may ask you for documentation to prove your monthly income, monthly expenses, assets, and other debts.
• If your payment plan is not approved right away, make your payment while Treasury reviews your request.

You can request an installment agreement in one of three ways:

• Use the Collections eService – you need information from any Treasury collections letter sent to you in order to connect to your account. Visit the Help Center for guidance based on the type of debt.
• Download, complete, and mail the Installment Agreement form.
• Call the Collection Services Bureau at (517) 636-5265.
