When the IRS sends Letter 2273, it isn’t just paperwork. It’s a confirmation of your hard-won manual installment agreement, a rare opportunity to catch your breath, get control, and move forward. But… the relief of this letter hides a very real threat: break your agreement, and you are right back in the crosshairs. This is the razor’s edge between financial liberation and IRS retribution, and you don’t get many second chances.

Understanding IRS Letter 2273: A Single Lifeline
IRS Letter 2273 confirms the IRS has accepted your manual installment agreement. This is not just a payment plan, it is a rare human-to-human negotiation with the IRS, brokered painstakingly, often under intense pressure. It means someone, often a pro like Steve Perry, stood between you and the bureaucracy, and won you breathing room. This letter is hope with a price tag.
But don’t mistake kindness for surrender. Letter 2273 is not an all-clear, it is a contract. And the IRS keeps receipts.
The Fine Print: What’s at Stake with Installment Agreements
- You must pay every installment on time, with no slips. One missed or late payment can trigger full enforcement—levies, liens, wage garnishment, or loss of your deal.
- You must stay current with all NEW taxes owed. If you slip up on this year’s or next quarter’s taxes, the IRS can void your deal.
- You must keep the IRS in the loop. If your financial situation changes (loss of income, illness, disaster), you need to have Steve proactively update them, or risk full-blown collection action.
- Breaking the agreement doesn’t mean starting over. The IRS does not need to renegotiate. They can, and will, pounce if you fail to uphold your end.
If you feel that knot in your stomach, you’re not alone. This is the real fear: One mistake and the deal is off.
The High Cost of Breaking a Manual Installment Agreement
Break your IRS agreement and the consequences are immediate and severe:
- The payment plan is canceled, no questions, no debate.
- IRS collections resume: bank levies, wage garnishments, tax liens on your home or business, often with little warning.
- Interest and penalties pile up rapidly, turning manageable debt into a crushing burden.
- Your credibility with the IRS? Damaged. Next time, they’ll trust you even less—or refuse new terms entirely.
- Personal and professional chaos: frozen accounts, ruined credit, lost sleep.
Pause and ask yourself: can you really afford to go through this alone?
