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.
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 don't qualify for an IA through OPA, you may also request an IA by submitting Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, with the IRS. When you request an IA using the form, generally, you'll receive a response from the IRS within 30 days notifying you of whether the IA request was approved or rejected.
You can find digital copies of most IRS notices in your online account, under the 'Notices and Letters' section.
