overdue taxes and naturalization

[dythan2005 12]

So I want to flle for citizenship but I received a letter from the IRS stating that owe money due to some adjustments(1099c- loan forgiveness) they did on my 2011 return (Not filing taxes is not an issue here for I always file my 1040 on time without any gaps). To make the story short , I called irs and set up a payment plan which they approved right away but they said It may take almost a month before I get the actual paperwork on my mail which I needed badly for my citizenship application. Do you think I can still go ahead and file my n400 without the payment agreement as a supporting documents? I did put it on my application that I owe money from the irs and I attached the bill that IRS sent me with my signature requesting a payment plan. I really need your opinion on this because Im dying to send my application right away before I end up spending my application fee on stupid things. Thanks everyone!

Yes, you can file for citizenship but you will need the payment agreement in writing when you go to the interview. IRS can always fax it you if you need a copy right away

I could not edit to add:

As long as your eligible to file, you can go ahead and file it right away. Depending on your state, interview may be sheduled within 2-3 after filing, so you will have plenty of time to get a copy of that agreement.
