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 have a history of non-compliance with tax obligations, such as failing to file required tax returns or having other outstanding tax debts, the IRS may deny your payment plan application. It's essential to address any outstanding compliance issues before applying for a payment plan.
After an installment agreement is approved, you may submit a request to modify or terminate your installment agreement. You may modify your payment amount or due date by going to IRS/OPA. You may also call 800-829-1040 to modify or terminate your agreement.
Once taxpayers complete the online application, they receive immediate notification of whether the IRS has approved their payment plan. The process only takes a few minutes, and there's no paperwork and no need to call, write or visit the IRS. Setup fees may apply for some types of plans.
