Overview
This monthly notice is sent to remind you that your installment agreement payment is due.
This notice tells you the amount you need to pay, when it is due, and a summary of your agreement with the remaining balance owed. The notice also details:
You have a tax balance and entered into a payment plan (installment agreement). This notice advises that you have a payment due on a payment plan with the IRS.
To keep your payment plan in good standing you need to make your payment by the due date. See Payments for options to make a payment.
If you would like to convert your existing Installment Agreement to a Direct Debit Installment Agreement where your payment would be automatically deducted from your bank account you can request the revision of your payment plan via the online payment agreement page on IRS.gov.
If you are no longer able to make you installment agreement payments, you should contact the IRS at the number provided in the notice. You can also request a change to your payment amount via the online payment agreement page on IRS.gov. If you are unable to continue with an approved payment plan, review the collection alternatives.
If you default, the installment agreement may be terminated, and the IRS may begin taking enforcement action or you may have to pay a fee to reinstate the agreement. You have the right to appeal the default or termination of your payment plan through the Collection Appeals Program.

If you still need help
The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS. TAS helps taxpayers resolve problems with the IRS, makes administrative and legislative recommendations to prevent or correct the problems, and protects taxpayer rights. TAS helps all taxpayers (and their representatives), including individuals, businesses, and exempt organizations. You may be eligible for free TAS help if your IRS problem is causing financial difficulty, if you’ve tried and been unable to resolve your issue with the IRS, or if you believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn’t working as it should.
TAS has offices in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To find your local advocate’s number:
