- Missing the date of the last payment: if the plan is not met by then, all collection actions will be applied.
- Expecting interest to stop once a plan starts; the form says interest accrues until the taxes are paid in full.
- Leaving current-year taxes unpaid and overlooking the form's warning that the taxpayer's name will appear in the local newspaper when liens on real property for delinquent accounts are published.
- Leaving the Razón para solicitar un plan de pagos para dificultades section empty, since the form asks for the reason for the request.
- Omitting the Número de Cuenta o Dirección de la Propiedad, which identifies the account or property.
