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.
If you mail Form 9465, the IRS will respond to your request typically within 30 days but it may take longer during filing season. Installment agreements by direct debit and payroll deduction enable you to make timely payments automatically and reduce the possibility of default.
You can send Form 9465 with the e-return, but the IRS must still approve the installment agreement form.
