SF-85 Contractor as Mechanic

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Good Morning,

I’m new to this, I received an SF-85 not P. I’m good with all the questions except the financial about taxes. I’m in a payment plan for my federal and state and just paid the balance that was due this tax season for the state. The payment plan for the state was a bit more than I could pay at that time that’s why it’s in a payment plan.

The state balance is now at a reasonable amount should I pay that off? The federal cannot be paid in full at this time.

There is no need to pay it off if you are on a plan. Low risk non-sensitive positions do not look at finances, only that you have filed taxes as required. Disclose it on the SF85 just as you have here and you will be okay.
