General Instructions

If you cannot pay the full amount you owe shown on your

tax return (or on a notice we sent you), you can ask to make

monthly installment payments. But before requesting an

installment agreement, you should consider other less costly

alternatives, such as a bank loan.

You will be charged a $43 fee if your request is approved.

Do not include the fee with this form. We will send you a

letter telling you your request has been approved, how to

pay the fee, and how to make your first installment payment.

After we receive each payment, we will send you a letter

showing the remaining amount you owe, and the due date

and amount of your next payment.

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 liabilities. This means that you must have

adequate withholding or estimated tax payments so that your

tax liability for future years is paid in full when you timely file

your return. If you do not make your payments on time or

have an outstanding past-due amount in a future year, you

will be in default on your agreement and we may take

enforcement actions to collect the entire amount you owe.

Specific Instructions

Line 1

If you are making this request for a joint tax return, show the

names and SSNs in the same order as on your tax return.

Line 10

Even if you can’t pay the full amount you owe now, you

should pay as much of it as possible to limit penalty and

interest charges. If you are filing this form with your tax

return, make the payment with your return. If you are filing

this form by itself, for example, in response to a notice,

include a check or money order payable to the Internal

Revenue Service with this form. Do not send cash. On your

payment, write your name, address, social security number,

daytime phone number, and the tax year and tax return for

which you are making this request (for example, “1995 Form

1040”).

Line 11

You should try to make your payments large enough so that

your balance due will be paid off by the due date of your

next tax return.

Line 12

You can choose the date your monthly payment is due. For

example, if your rent or mortgage payment is due on the first

of the month, you may want to make your installment

payments on the 15th. When we approve your request, we

will tell you the month and date that your first payment is

due. If we have not replied by the date you choose for your

first payment, you may send the first payment to the Internal

Revenue Service Center at the address shown on this page

for the place where you live. Make your check or money

order payable to the Internal Revenue Service. See the

instructions for line 10 for what to write on your payment.

● If you have already filed your return, you are filing your

return electronically, or you are filing this form in response to

a notice, mail it to the Internal Revenue Service Center at

the address shown below for the place where you live. No

street address is needed.

Puerto Rico (or if excluding income

under section 933)

Virgin Islands: Nonpermanent residents only*

The time needed to complete and file this form will vary

depending on individual circumstances. The estimated

average time is: Learning about the law or the form,

2 min.; Preparing the form, 24 min.; and Copying,

assembling, and sending the form to the IRS, 20 min.

● If you haven’t filed your return, attach Form 9465 to the

front of your return.

Line 13

Check the box on line 13 if you want your monthly payments

automatically deducted (Direct Debit) from your bank

account. If your installment agreement request is approved,

we will send you the required Direct Debit enrollment form

and you must include the $43 fee when you return it.

If you have comments concerning the accuracy of this

time estimate or suggestions for making this form simpler,

we would be happy to hear from you. You can write to the

Tax Forms Committee, Western Area Distribution Center,

Rancho Cordova, CA 95743-0001. DO NOT send the form to

this address. Instead, see How Do I File Form 9465? on this

page.

You will be charged interest and may be charged a late

payment penalty on any tax not paid by its due date, even if

your request to pay in installments is granted. 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).
