WHY THE IRS REJECTS INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT REQUESTS. The IRS typically rejects an installment agreement request for one of three reasons. If the IRS determines that your living expenses do not fall under the category of “necessary,” your agreement will more than likely be rejected.
The IRS considers extravagant expenses as those that include charitable contributions, private school funding and hefty credit card payments. In addition, if you fail to provide accurate information on Form 433-A, Collection Information Statement, you can expect your agreement to be rejected.
