IRS Letter 2272: Rejection of Your Installment Agreement – What You Must Know Now

If you’ve just opened an IRS Letter 2272 rejecting your installment agreement, stop and breathe, but do not ignore it. Contact Steve Perry, EA immediately at steve@bookstaxesatl.com or call (678) 717-9818 before the IRS takes dangerous next steps.

Tax debt is frightening—especially when you believed you had a payment plan in place, only to see “Rejected” stamped on the IRS letter in your hands. Letter 2272 (often 2272C) is the IRS’s formal refusal of your request for an installment agreement. Whether you got rejected for missing documentation, submitting incomplete financial information, or because the IRS believes you can pay more than you offered, this notice means one thing: your protection from IRS enforcement just vanished.

Why Was Your Installment Agreement Denied?

• Insufficient info: The IRS didn’t get all the documents they needed for your application, maybe missing pay stubs, incomplete expenses, or gaps on the Collection Information Statement (Form 433).
• IRS thinks you can pay more: If the IRS sees you have assets, or they think your offer won’t cover the debt within their required timeframe, your request gets shot down.
• Past compliance issues: Not filing all returns or owing new taxes? The IRS won’t play ball.

You now have a narrow window—sometimes just 10 days—to respond before collection machinery lurches into motion. Message Steve directly on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steveperrybtm for rapid help.

The Cold Truth: What Happens If You Break (or Lose) an Installment Agreement

Ignoring IRS Letter 2272 is the most expensive mistake you can make. When your agreement is rejected, several “automatic” protections vanish:

• Immediate risk of enforcement: You become fair game for federal tax liens, wage and bank levies, property seizure, and relentless IRS collection calls.
• Credit destruction: A tax lien can sabotaging mortgages applications, business deals, and even employment prospects.
• Skyrocketing penalties and interest: The debt grows every day, and you lose out on the structured, predictable payments you negotiated.
• Loss of travel freedom: Large unresolved balances may freeze your passport renewal, no vacations, no business travel.
• Personal panic: Being on the IRS’s radar is stress you don’t want—but Steve Perry, EA can shield you from the storm.
