I have a client that owes for 2024 and 2025.   They have the exact balance for 2024 and 2025 with Penalties and accrued interest.  Can I complete a 9465 in Intuit for the previous balance and current balance with the penalties and interest?    If so, should I e-file this as a 1040X amendment since 2024 and 2025 have already been accepted by the IRS?

Not a 1040X. Do it online at irs.gov if it qualifies.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Have them create a personal IRS online account and they can apply for it right online, DO NOT USE a 1040X for this.
