Individuals. Once you receive a bill, you may request a payment agreement online by going to our Payment Plan Agreement System. If you want to set up a payment agreement before you receive a bill, you must contact us by phone, email, or letter.
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.
If you are unable to revise an existing installment agreement online, call us at 800-829-1040 (individual) or 800-829-4933 (business).
Taxpayers can modify most existing installment agreements using the Online Payment Agreement application. At this time, taxpayers cannot make changes to existing direct debit installment agreements online.
