If you don't qualify for an IA through the OPA, you can also apply for an IA by filing Form 9465, Request for Installment Agreement, with the IRS. When you request an IA using the form, you will generally receive a response from the IRS within 30 days notifying you if the IA request has been approved or rejected. If you request a payment plan (installment agreement), it can take up to 90 days for your request to be processed. Generally, you may have 3 to 5 years to pay off the balance.
