Post-poning back tax payments

My ex-wife wants to postpone making a past due tax payment to the IRS. She can't pay the utility bill AND the IRS next month. She wonders if the IRS will go nuts and revoke some gov't grant for college as revenge. The payment amount is $190.

Thanks in advance.

How many, if any, notices from IRS have you received in the US mail? You don't say which tax year this payment is for. If 2014 tax bill, I'd say the only consequence in the short term is that interest and possibly penalties will continue to add up until you pay it.

At some point, the IRS can intercept federal and state refunds, and possibly some other government payments, but for a relatively small amount and relatively short period, none of that will happen right away.
