Respond to CP523 Installment Agreement Default
Reinstate, renegotiate, or request a hearing — within 30 days of the installment agreement default notice.
If the installment agreement terminates, the full balance becomes immediately due and the IRS can levy. This workflow helps you understand why the agreement defaulted, whether reinstatement is possible, and what documentation you need to either reinstate, propose new terms, or request a CDP hearing.
The CP523 tells you that your IRS installment agreement has defaulted — usually because of a missed payment or new tax debt. You have 30 days to reinstate the agreement, request a new one, or request a hearing. This workflow parses the notice, identifies the default reason, assesses reinstatement eligibility, and helps you prepare a response with the right forms and financial documentation.
Who this is for: Taxpayers who received a CP523 Notice of Default on their installment agreement and need to act within 30 days.
