While the IRS typically doesn't allow taxpayers to have two separate installment agreements, adding a new tax debt to an existing installment plan is possible. However, taxpayers must act swiftly before the IRS assesses the new tax balance and potential default occurs, triggering enforcement actions.
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.
What does the principal debt mean? An instalment sale agreement between you and a credit provider allows you to buy a vehicle or asset using the principal debt, which you repay by means of regular instalments over an agreed period, with fees and interest.
A payment plan agreement, also known as an installment agreement, is a written legal document that allows one party to make smaller payments over time to payoff a larger debt.
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.

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.
Form 9465 can be included electronically with an e-filed return or paper-filed. When filing a paper return, complete Form 9465, attach it to the front of your client's return before mailing. They should receive a response to the request for installment payments within 30 days.
