You will need to create an IRS Online Account, and then you can apply for a payment plan online without needing to call, mail, or visit the IRS. You will need a photo identification to create your account. If you are applying for a direct debit payment plan, you will need your bank routing and account numbers.
If you don't qualify for an IA through OPA, you may also request an IA by submitting Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, with the IRS. When you request an IA using the form, generally, you'll receive a response from the IRS within 30 days notifying you of whether the IA request was approved or rejected.
You can send Form 9465 with the e-return, but the IRS must still approve the installment agreement form.
For electronically filed returns with an electronic funds withdrawal for the complete amount on Form 9465, Line 8, no Form 1040-V will print and the filing instructions will indicate the electronic funds withdrawal amount. No check is required.
