IRS Letter 3217C
Why are you receiving this letter?
You received IRS letter 3217C because you requested a payment plan with the IRS and the agreement was accepted.
- No further action is required. Follow the instructions for paying the agreed upon installment payments.
- You can pay online at www/irs.gov/payment.
- You would like to discuss this with someone not working for the IRS to understand what is going on and the options you have.
- You are unable to pay the IRS.
- You want a smaller payment plan.
- You didn’t request the payment plan.
- You would like to negotiate down the tax balances.
What you should do?
Read letter 3217C carefully. The notice will explain which form and tax periods the installment agreement covers. In our Notice example, the agreement is for Tax Form 1040 for tax year 2013.
Make sure that all tax periods are listed on this letter. If there is a tax year that has a balance and it is not listed on this letter then it is not included in the agreement. Contact the IRS for any tax periods not included in the installment agreement. This should be corrected immediately.
What can you expect next?
The IRS should send you a monthly statement every month. If the IRS fails to send you a monthly statement, make a payment per the instructions of this Letter.
It is recommended that payments be made at least 10 days in advance so they are processed by the payment due date. If you make payments after the due date, you risk having the agreement terminated.
