There is not a set number of months for installment agreements. It is based on your income and circumstances.
When you set up an installment plan, you will be asked how much you can pay each month. It is best to go a little low for that amount and then pay extra when you can.
If you are on an installment agreement and it is not paid off by the following tax season, and you owe again, you will need to start a new installment agreement for the total owed from both years.
If the amount due is from low tax withholding or failure to make estimated payments, you should correct those issues, so you don't keep getting further behind.
