LETTER 484C

IRS Letter 484C is a notice that the IRS sends to taxpayers who have requested an installment agreement to pay their unpaid taxes. The letter informs the taxpayer that their request has been denied, but it also offers an alternative payment amount.

You may receive IRS Letter 484C for a few reasons:

• You proposed a monthly payment amount that is too low to pay off your debt within a reasonable time frame.
• The IRS needs more information about your financial situation to determine if you are eligible for an installment agreement.
• You have not filed all of your required tax returns.
• You have not made all of your required estimated tax payments.

• If you receive IRS Letter 484C, you should carefully read the letter and follow the instructions. You may need to complete Form 433F/433A, Collection Information Statement, to provide the IRS with more information about your financial situation. You may also need to submit documentation to support the information you provide on the form.
• If you agree with the alternative payment amount that the IRS has offered, you can accept the offer by signing and returning the enclosed Form 433-D, Installment Agreement. If you do not agree with the alternative payment amount, you can contact the IRS to discuss your options.

• Be prompt. You have 30 days to respond to the letter before the IRS takes further action.
• Be honest and accurate. When completing Form 433F/433A, be sure to provide the IRS with complete and accurate information about your financial situation.
• Be cooperative. The IRS is more likely to work with you if you are cooperative and willing to provide the information they need.
• If you need help, contact a tax professional. A tax professional can help you understand your options and complete Form 433F/433A accurately.
