Tax Questions, Answered · Saturday, November 28, 2026

My IRS payment plan is in default. What now?

Saturday, November 28, 2026 · Question 17 of 19

Read the CP523 notice today. It says your installment agreement is in default — a missed payment, a new balance, a late return — and the IRS intends to terminate it. You generally have 30 days to fix the cause and get reinstated. Let it lapse, and the full balance is back on the table, with levy action on the menu again. People lose plans over one missed payment and don't find out until the levy notice arrives. Don't be that story. If you got a CP523, call now — we'll find out what broke the plan and get it fixed while there's still time.
