To request an installment agreement, the taxpayer must complete Form 9465. Form 9465 can be included electronically with an e-filed return or paper-filed.
If you owe more than $50,000, you will need to send in your 9465 by mail. When you file your taxes, simply attach this form to the front of your tax return. The form can also be submitted by itself, so you can conveniently file your taxes online and send this form separately.
Make a copy of the notice you received from the IRS and include it with your letter. In the first paragraph of your letter, explain why you are writing the IRS. Mention the date of their notice. For example, you can write, “I am writing to request an abatement of $4,512.33 as assessed in the notice sent 7/3/2017.”
Your minimum monthly payment for an IRS installment plan is generally what you owe divided by 72, if you don't specify a different amount. You can start an IRS installment plan by applying online, over the phone, or by mailing Form 9465 to the IRS.
Write to explain why you disagree and include any documents and information you wish the IRS to consider, along with the bottom tear-off portion of the notice. Mail the information to the IRS address shown in the lower left part of the notice. Allow at least 30 days for a response.
