Error message when applying for short-term installment agreement

I applied for a short-term installment plan. I do not know if it got approved. When I try to review it I get the error "We are unable to complete the transaction you requested". The deadline for paying taxes is approaching. What happens if my application was not approved and I do not pay my full estimated balance by then?

You will need to contact the IRS for information. It might be easiest to set up an account with them.
