What the letter says

A routine reminder. It shows the amount due, the date, and the remaining balance.

What to do

Pay it. If you are on direct debit, confirm the withdrawal happened. If you cannot pay this month, call before the due date; a missed payment can default the agreement.

What to gather

  • The notice
  • Your payment records for the plan

Write back

The Payment plan request cover letter tool builds the response in the order the IRS reads it. Fill it in, review it, print it, and send it with copies of the documents above and the notice stub on top.

Before you send anything

This is general information, not tax advice. Situations differ. Check with your tax advisor before you send anything. Nothing on this page creates a client relationship.
