Unable to pay the IRS taxes for 2011 or by April 17th? If so, you have several options for paying your taxes when you don't have the money available in the short-term or the long-term.

When deciding which option is the best for you, you'll want to consider how much time you need and how much each option will cost you in fees and interest.

To reduce interest and penalties, pay what you can by April 17th, without jeopardizing your basic living necessities. When in doubt, consult with the IRS and/or a tax professional.
