Frequently asked questions

Why does the IRS review my financial situation periodically?

To help us determine the correct payment for your installment agreement (IA). You agreed to this review, when we granted the IA for less than the minimum payment amount usually required.

Why shouldn't I mail the Form 433-A back to you?

We won’t receive it in time to prevent your IA from defaulting, which is 10 days from the date of the notice.

What will happen if I don't call?

We’ll place your IA into a defaulted status and you may receive a bill for the entire balance owed. If we re-establish an IA after default, you may owe an additional user fee for that service.
