installment agreement criteria. The maximum term for a  
streamlined agreement is 72 months. In certain  
circumstances, you can have longer to pay or you can  
establish an agreement for an amount that is less than the  
amount of tax you owe.  
However, before requesting a payment plan, you  
should consider other alternatives, such as getting a bank  
loan or using available credit, which may be less costly. If  
you have any questions about this request, call  
800-829-1040.  
Future Developments  
For the latest developments related to Form 9465 and its  
instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were  
published, go to IRS.gov/Form9465.  
What's New  
Clarification and expansion of terms of Form 9465 in-  
stallment agreements. Additional text has been added  
to Form 9465 regarding your payment of the tax and your  
provision of updated financial information when  
Use Form 9465 if you’re an individual:  
Who owes income tax on Form 1040 or 1040-SR,  
Who is or may be responsible for a Trust Fund  
Recovery Penalty,  
Who owes employment taxes (for example, as reported  
Termination. We have added text clarifying when the  
IRS may terminate the installment agreement. See What  
on Forms 941, 943, or 940) related to a sole proprietor  
business that is no longer in operation, or  
Who owes an individual shared responsibility payment  
under the Affordable Care Act (this payment won’t be  
assessed for months beginning after December 31,  
2018). See section 5000A.  
Reminder  
Reduced user fees for certain installment agree-  
ments. Beginning January 1, 2019, the user fee is $10 for  
installment agreements reinstated or restructured through  
an online payment agreement (OPA). You must have  
established the reinstatement or restructuring of the  
installment agreement through an OPA to qualify for the  
reduced user fee. Low-income taxpayers may be  
reimbursed this fee under certain conditions. See  
agreement, later.  
Apply online at reduced fee. If the total amount you  
owe isn't more than $50,000 (including any amounts you  
owe from prior years), you don't need to file Form 9465;  
you can request an installment agreement online for a  
reduced fee. For more information, see Applying online for  
Waiver and reimbursement of user fees for low-in-  
come taxpayers. For installment agreements entered  
into by taxpayers with adjusted gross income, for the most  
recent tax year available, at or below 250% of the federal  
poverty guidelines, the IRS will waive or reimburse user  
fees if certain conditions are met. For details, see User fee  
Don’t use Form 9465 if:  
You can pay the full amount you owe within 120 days (if  
you plan to pay the taxes, interest and penalties due in full  
within 120 days, you can save the cost of the set up  
You want to request a payment plan online, including  
an installment agreement (see Applying online for an  
Your business is still operating and owes employment  
or unemployment taxes. Instead, call the telephone  
number on your most recent notice to request an  
installment agreement.  
Guaranteed installment agreement. You’re eligible for  
a guaranteed installment agreement if the tax you owe  
isn’t more than $10,000 and:  
During the past 5 tax years, you (and your spouse if  
filing a joint return) have timely filed all income tax returns  
and paid any income tax due, and haven’t entered into an  
installment agreement for the payment of income tax;  
You agree to pay the full amount you owe within 3 years  
and to comply with the tax laws while the agreement is in  
effect; and  
You’re financially unable to pay the liability in full when  
due.  
Can you pay in full within 120 days? If you can pay the  
full amount you owe within 120 days, you can avoid  
paying the fee to set up an installment agreement. You  
can apply for a short-term payment plan if you can pay in  
full within 120 days by using the OPA application at  
IRS.gov/OPA or calling the IRS at 800-829-1040.  
General Instructions  
Purpose of Form

agreement (payment plan) if you can’t pay the full amount  
you owe shown on your tax return (or on a notice we sent  
you). Most installment agreements meet our streamlined

instead of filing Form 9465. To do that, go to IRS.gov/

How the Installment Agreement  
Works  
Note. If you request a payroll deduction agreement using  
Form 2159, your user fee will be $225. If you’re a  
low-income taxpayer, see Reduced installment  
agreement user fee, later, for more details.  
We will usually let you know within 30 days after we  
receive your request whether it is approved or denied.  
However, if this request is for tax due on a return you filed  
after March 31, it may take us longer than 30 days to  
reply. If we approve your request, we will send you a  
notice detailing the terms of your agreement and  
requesting a user fee.  
If the total amount you owe isn’t more than  
$50,000 (including any amounts you owe from  
TIP  
prior years), then you may request an installment  
agreement online and pay a lower fee. For more  
Each month, we will send you a notice showing the  
remaining amount you owe, and the due date and amount  
of your next payment. But if you choose to have your  
payments automatically withdrawn from your checking  
account (also known as a direct debit), you won’t receive  
a notice. Your checking account statement is your record  
of payment. We will send you an annual statement  
showing the amount you owed at the beginning of the  
year, all payments made during the year, and the amount  
you owe at the end of the year.  
Reduced installment agreement user fee. If you  
establish an installment agreement that is not paid by  
direct debit, you may qualify to pay a reduced fee of $43  
or for a reimbursement of your fee if you are a low-income  
taxpayer, as defined below. See User fee waivers and  
reimbursements next. The IRS will let you know whether  
you qualify for the reduced fee. If the IRS doesn’t say you  
qualify for the reduced fee, you can request that the IRS  
consider you for “low-income” status using Form 13844,  
Application For Reduced User Fee For Installment  
Agreements.  
User fee waivers and reimbursements. For installment  
agreements entered into on or after April 10, 2018, by  
low-income taxpayers, defined next, the IRS will waive or  
reimburse the user fees if certain conditions are met. If  
you’re a low-income taxpayer and you agree to make  
electronic payments through a debit instrument by  
entering into a direct debit installment agreement (DDIA),  
the IRS will waive the user fees for the installment  
agreement. See Lines 13a, 13b, and 13c, later, for further  
details. If you’re a low-income taxpayer and you’re unable  
to make electronic payments through a debit instrument  
by entering into a DDIA, the IRS will reimburse the user  
fee that you paid for the installment agreement upon  
completion of the installment agreement. See Line 13c,  
later, for more details.  
By approving your request, we agree to let you pay the  
tax you owe in monthly installments instead of  
immediately paying the amount in full. In return, you agree  
to make your monthly payments on time. You also agree  
to meet all your future tax obligations. This means that you  
must have enough withholding or estimated tax payments  
so that your tax obligation for future years is paid in full  
when you timely file your return. Your request for an  
installment agreement will be denied if any required tax  
returns haven’t been filed. Any refund will be applied  
against the amount you owe. If your refund is applied to  
your balance, you’re still required to make your regular  
monthly installment payment.  
Installment agreement user fees. We charge a user  
fee to set up an installment agreement. The amount of the  
user fee can vary depending on whether you use the  
online payment application and how you propose to make  
your monthly payments. For details, see the table below.  
Definition of low-income taxpayer. A low-income  
taxpayer is a taxpayer with adjusted gross income, for the  
most recent tax year available, at or below 250% of the  
federal poverty guidelines. For more information on how  
to determine if your adjusted gross income is at or below  
250% of the federal poverty guidelines, see the  
instructions for Form 13844.  
Which payment method qualifies a low-income tax-  
payer for a waiver of the user fee? If you’re a  
low-income taxpayer and agree to make payments  
through a direct debit (from a checking account), you

payments through a debit instrument by entering into a  
DDIA is eligible to receive a reimbursement of the reduced

to make electronic payments through a debit instrument  
by entering into a DDIA. See Lines 13a, 13b, and 13c,  
later, for more details.  
Other costs. You will be charged interest and a late  
payment penalty on any tax not paid by its due date, even  
if your request to pay in installments is granted. Interest  
and any applicable penalties will be charged until the  
balance is paid in full. But see Topic 653, IRS Notices and  
Bills, Penalties, and Interest Charges, at IRS.gov/  
TaxTopics/TC653 for additional information. To limit  
interest and penalty charges, file your return on time and  
pay as much of the tax as possible with your return or  
notice. All payments received under the installment  
agreement will be applied to your account in the best  
interests of the United States.  
What happens if the taxpayer doesn’t comply with  
the terms of the installment agreement? If you don’t  
make your payments on time or don’t pay a balance due  
on a return you file later, you will be in default on your  
agreement and we may terminate the agreement. Before  
we terminate the agreement, you may be entitled to file an  
appeal under the Collection Appeals Program (CAP). We  
may take enforcement actions, such as filing an NFTL or  
an IRS levy action, to collect the entire amount you owe.  
To ensure that your payments are made timely, you  
should consider making them by direct debit. See Lines  
Note. The shared responsibility payment (SRP) amount  
that you owe is the assessed payment for not having  
minimum essential health coverage for you and, if  
applicable, your dependents per section 5000A. The SRP  
won’t be assessed for months beginning after December  
31, 2018. However, even after that date, you may  
continue to owe SRP assessed for months that began  
before December 31, 2018. The SRP amount that you  
owe isn’t subject to penalties or to Notice of Federal Tax  
Lien (NFTL) or levy enforcement actions. However,  
interest will continue to accrue until you pay the total SRP  
balance due. We may apply your federal tax refunds to  
the SRP amount that you owe until it’s paid in full.  
Payment methods. You can make your payments by  
direct debit, check or money order, credit card, debit card,  
or one of the other accepted payment methods. To be  
charged a lower fee, you may want to set up an OPA  
and/or agree to make your payments by direct debit. For  
more information on the accepted payment methods, go

financial update or if you provide such information to  
obtain the installment agreement. For more information  
about what you need to do if your installment agreement is  
terminated, go to IRS.gov/CP523.  
Note. We may have filed an NFTL against your property.  
If so, you may be able to get the notice of lien withdrawn.

generally isn’t filed with a Guaranteed Installment  
Agreement or Streamlined Installment Agreement, but can  
be in certain situations. We won’t file an NFTL for the  
individual shared responsibility payment under the  
Affordable Care Act.  
For details on how to pay, see your tax return  
instructions, visit IRS.gov, or call 800-829-1040.  
You may be entitled to file an appeal through the  
Collection Appeals Program (CAP) before and after the  
NFTL is filed. You are entitled to file an appeal through  
Collection Due Process (CDP) after an NFTL is filed.  
Requests to modify or terminate an installment  
agreement. After an installment agreement is approved,  
you may submit a request to modify or terminate an  
installment agreement. You may modify your payment  
amount or due date by going to IRS.gov/OPA. You may  
also call 800-829-1040 to modify or terminate your  
agreement.  
Generally, the fee is $89 to modify your installment  
agreement ($43 if you are a low-income taxpayer).  
However, starting January 1, 2019, the user fee is $10 for  
installment agreements reinstated or restructured through  
an OPA. This user fee applies only if the reinstatement or  
restructuring of the installment agreement was  
established through an OPA.

on line 11a (11b, if applicable) is less than the amount on  
line 10, you must complete Part II on page 2 of Form  
9465.  
Line 8  
Even if you can’t pay the full amount you owe now, you  
should pay as much as possible to limit the penalty and  
interest charges. If you’re filing this form with your tax  
return, make the payment with your return. For details on  
how to pay, see your tax return instructions.  
If the amount on line 9 is greater than $50,000,  
complete and attach Form 433-F.  
Line 12  
If you’re filing this form by itself, such as in response to  
a notice, attach a check or money order payable to  
“United States Treasury.” Don’t send cash. Be sure to  
include the following.  
You can choose the day of each month your payment is  
due. This can be on or after the 1st of the month, but no  
later than the 28th of the month. For example, if your rent  
or mortgage payment is due on the 1st of the month, you  
may want to make your installment payments on the 15th.

Information Statement, and file it with this form. You can  
download Form 433-F at IRS.gov/Forms.  
To pay by direct debit from your checking account at a  
bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund,  
brokerage firm, or credit union), fill in lines 13a and 13b.  
Check with your financial institution to make sure that a  
direct debit is allowed and to get the correct routing and  
account numbers.  
Generally, if the total amount you owe is greater  
than $25,000 but not more than $50,000, you  
!
CAUTION  
must either (1) complete lines 13a and 13b and  
agree to make payments by direct debit, or (2) check  
box 14 to make your payments by payroll deduction and  
attach a completed, signed Form 2159, Payroll Deduction  
Agreement. A payroll deduction agreement isn’t available  
if you file Form 9465 electronically.  
Making your payments by direct debit will help  
ensure that your payments are made timely and  
you don’t default on this installment agreement.  
TIP  
Low-income taxpayers who complete lines 13a and  
13b will receive a waiver of their installment agreement  
earlier, for more information.  
Line 13a. The routing number must be nine digits. The  
first two digits of the routing number must be 01 through  
12 or 21 through 32. Use a check to verify the routing  
number. On the sample check, the routing number is  
250250025. But if your check is payable through a  
financial institution different from the one at which you  
have your checking account, don’t use the routing number  
on that check. Instead, contact your financial institution for  
the correct routing number.  
Line 13b. The account number can be up to 17  
characters (both numbers and letters). Include hyphens  
but omit spaces and special symbols. Enter the number  
from left to right and leave any unused boxes blank. On  
the sample check, later, the account number is 20202086.  
Don’t include the check number.  
Line 11a  
Enter on line 11a the amount you can pay each month.  
Make your payments as large as possible to limit interest  
and penalty charges. The charges will continue to apply  
until you pay them in full. If you have an existing  
installment agreement, this amount should represent your  
total proposed monthly payment amount for all your  
liabilities. If no payment amount is listed on line 11a (or  
11b), a payment will be determined for you by dividing the  
balance due by 72 months.  
Line 11b  
If the amount on line 11a is less than the amount on  
line 10 and you’re able to increase your payment to an  
amount that is equal to or greater than the amount on  
line 10, enter your revised monthly payment proposal on  
line 11b.  
If the amount on line 11a is less than the amount on  
line 10 and you’re unable to increase your payment to the  
amount on line 10, check the box below line 11b and  
complete and attach Form 433-F.

TIP  
Line 13c. Low-income taxpayers who are unable to  
make electronic payments through a DDIA by providing  
their information on lines 13a and 13b are eligible to  
receive reimbursement of their installment agreement  
user fees. If you’re a low-income taxpayer and you  
checked the box in line 13c, your installment agreement  
user fee will be reimbursed upon completion of your  
installment agreement. See User fee waivers and  
reimbursements, earlier, for more information.  
If you don’t check the box in line 13c (and don’t provide  
the information on lines 13a and 13b), you’re indicating  
that you’re able but choosing not to make electronic  
payments by establishing a DDIA. As such, your user fee  
is not eligible for reimbursement upon completion of your  
installment agreement.  
You aren’t required to provide the information  
requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork  
Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB  
control number. Books or records relating to a form or its  
instructions must be retained as long as their contents  
may become material in the administration of any Internal  
Revenue law. Generally, tax returns and return  
information are confidential, as required by section 6103.  
However, we may give this information to the Department  
of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities,  
states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths  
and possessions to carry out their tax laws. We may also  
disclose this information to other countries under a tax  
treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal  
nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and  
intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.
