that is what the site says

as long as they didn't garnish wages or other issues are found ,  seems u r ok

It will be very great if your balance is Zero by the interview day.

Because some officers find it very difficult to schedule you for an oath ceremony when you're still owing the government. In their minds, there is no guarantee that you will continue with the payments after the citizenship has been granted.

I was kind of in the same predicament. Filed my taxes back in April, then by the end of June I got a letter/statement with how much I owed. I set up a payment plan, but the first payment didn’t actually go through until August. With my interview coming up, I didn’t want to risk it, so I just knocked out the balance in three payments and got it over with.

That's  👍 👍 👍 👍 

USCIS will find it very difficult granting citizenship to someone owing government money.

Always endeavor to encounter them during the citizenship interview with a zero balance government Dept.

It's also a sign of a good moral character.

Yes - they may ask you during the interview do you owe taxes, just be honest and say yes.  They probably already know you owe taxes, so don't lie.
