Paying off taxes before the interview but hard to provide proof

[annab864 55]

Good evening, 

Long story short - my ex stole my identity after our divorce and filed taxes using my SSN as if we were still married. I fixed it and IRS allowed me to file a completely new return without amending it. It came with due tax (i’m self-employed), so I requested to have a payment plan to pay it off. The process lasted for over a year and my payment plan never ended up processing. Whether it is due to covid backlog or other issues, i am yet to get my installments to kick off.

So, instead of waiting, i’ve been paying it off myself and i have finally finished all my payments today. The problem is that i made my last 2 payments after Dec 23, and in case you don’t know - IRS website has been under maintenance which doesn’t let us get our accurate balance. Same goes for payments - they show up pending, not posted and will be until the week of Jan 23rd. Well, my interview is tomorrow. I am planning to bring printed out screenshots of payments, letters from IRS agreeing to the installment plan, account transcript of the tax year.. what else? Will this be a problem that the final payments show up ‘pending’? It’s hard to prove that the balance is paid off when it doesn’t reflect on their website. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I think all you need to show is that you got a payment plan with IRS and if you show payments that is very good.
