Hello,
Yes you can add a balance from 2023 to an existing installment agreement from 2022. You do not have to pay the existing balance off before filing your taxes. You shoud continue to make the payments on the existing installment agreement until the new one is accepted by the IRS.
You can request an amendment to the installment agreement by:
- Calling the IRS at 1-800-829-7650.
- Visiting a local IRS office.
- Completing Form 9465 with information about both the original agreement balance and the expected new balance.
When you complete the new Form 9465, Line 5 will be the amount you owe for 2023 and line 6 will be the amount that are on the previous agreement. The new balance will carry to line 7 of the Form 9465.
Here is a link to the Form 9465:

I hope this answers your question.
