Hello,

I am creating this post because I have a small question. A taxpayer already efiled their return earlier in the year and reached out to me because they needed help requesting a payment plan.

They tried applying online through their IRS Online account but it gave them an error message to call the IRS number instead.

I was wondering if through my ProConnect Tax account, I can efile a Form 9465 Installment Agreement request WITHOUT filing a return for the taxpayer?

Hi @te777 You’ve posted in the ProConnect Tax discussion, although we see the post is tagged for both ProSeries and ProConnect. Since this is the ProConnect forum, we’re providing the applicable ProConnect support article:

How to request an installment agreement using Form 9465 in ProConnect Tax

The article gives instructions for preparing Form 9465 in ProConnect Tax. However, it doesn't say that Form 9465 can be filed by itself without filing the taxpayer's return.

We’d check the IRS Form 9465 instructions for the different ways to file it. Also, we do see a phone number in the instructions if assistance is needed for the request on page 1 column 2.
