The short answer

Nevada has no state income tax. If you owe, it is likely the IRS or a Nevada business tax. State tax debt in Nevada is collected by Nevada Department of Taxation, not the IRS. Plans of 36 months or less, or under $100,000, need the request form, a signed agreement and a personal guaranty. Bigger plans go to the Tax Commission. Liens are filed.
