You need to contact the IRS and negotiate an additional installment plan. You will need to show them that your current payments are too high and it is causing a hardship to you. I recommend retaining a CPA or tax attorney who specializes in workouts with the IRS.

You cannot do this unilaterally. You must meet with an IRS agent and complete a current balance sheet and income statement. Only if your income has gone down and your financial picture is worse than it was when you entered into the installment payout will the IRS grant you a reduced monthly payout rate. Discuss the details with a tax attorney before doing anything.
