•Your name (include spouse’s name if a joint return) and current address; Your social security number and/or employer identification number (whichever applies to your tax liability); Your home and work, cell or business telephone numbers;

•The amount you can pay now as a partial payment;

•The amount you can pay each month (or the amount determined by IRS personnel); and

•The date you prefer to make this payment (This must be the same day for each month, from the 1st to the 28th). We must receive your payment by this date. If you elect the direct debit option, this is the day you want your payment electronically withdrawn from your financial institution account.

Review the terms of this agreement. When you’ve completed this agreement form, sign and date it. Then, return Part 1 to IRS at the address on the letter that came with it or the address shown in the “For assistance” box on the front of the form.

Terms of this agreement

By completing and submitting this agreement, you (the taxpayer) agree to the following terms:

•This agreement will remain in effect until your liabilities (including penalties and interest) are paid in full, the statutory period for collection has expired, or the agreement is terminated. You will receive a notice from us prior to termination of your agreement.

•You will make each payment so that we (IRS) receive it by the monthly due date stated on the front of this form. If you cannot make a scheduled payment, contact us immediately.

•This agreement is based on your current financial condition. We may modify or terminate the agreement if our information shows that your ability to pay has significantly changed. You must provide updated financial information when requested.

•While this agreement is in effect, you must file all federal tax returns and pay any (federal) taxes you owe on time.

•We will apply your federal tax refunds or overpayments (if any) to the entire amount you owe, including the shared responsibility payment under the Affordable Care Act, until it is fully paid or the statutory period for collection has expired.

Understanding user fees

• You must pay a $178 user fee if you enter into a non-Direct Debit agreement.

• You must pay a $107 user fee if you enter into a Direct Debit agreement. Your first draft will be the cost of the user fee or your agreed upon monthly payment, whichever is more.

• For low-income taxpayers (at or below 250% of Federal poverty guidelines), the user fee is reduced to $43. The reduced user fee will be waived if you agree to make electronic payments through a debit instrument by providing your banking information in the Direct Debit section of this Form. For low-income taxpayers, unable to make electronic payments through a debit instrument, the reduced user fee will be reimbursed upon completion of the installment agreement. See Debit Payment Self-Identifier on Page 1 and Form 13844 for qualifications and instructions.

• Lower user fees may be available through our online system. To determine if your agreement qualifies, visit www.IRS.gov/your-account.

• If you default on your installment agreement, you must pay a $89 reinstatement fee if we reinstate the agreement. We have the authority to deduct this fee from your first payment(s) after the agreement is reinstated. For low-income taxpayers (at or below 250% of Federal poverty guidelines), the reinstatement fee is reduced to $43. The reduced reinstatement fee will be waived if you agree to make electronic payments through a debit instrument. For low-income taxpayers, unable to make electronic payments through a debit instrument, the reduced reinstatement fee will be reimbursed upon completion of the installment agreement.

• We will apply all payments on this agreement in the best interests of the United States. Generally, we will apply the payment to the oldest collection statute, which is normally the oldest tax year or period.

• We can terminate your installment agreement if:

• You do not make monthly installment payments as agreed. You do not pay any other federal tax debt when due. You do not provide financial information when requested.

• If we terminate your agreement, we may collect the entire amount you owe, EXCEPT the Individual Shared Responsibility Payment under the Affordable Care Act, by levy on your income, bank accounts or other assets, or by seizing your property.

• We may terminate this agreement at any time if we find that collection of the tax is in jeopardy.

• This agreement may require managerial approval. We’ll notify you when we approve or don’t approve the agreement.

• We may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien if one has not been filed previously, but we will not file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien with respect to the individual shared responsibility payment under the Affordable Care Act.

• You authorize the IRS to contact third parties and to disclose your tax information to third parties in order to process and administer this agreement over its duration.

Instead of sending us a check, you can pay by direct debit (electronic withdrawal) from your checking account at a financial institution (such as a bank, mutual fund, brokerage firm, or credit union). To do so, fill in Lines a and b. Contact your financial institution to make sure that a direct debit is allowed and to get the correct routing and account numbers.

Line a. The first two digits of the routing number must be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. Don’t use a deposit slip to verify the number because it may contain internal routing numbers that are not part of the actual routing number.

Line b. The account number can be up to 17 characters. Include hyphens but omit spaces and special symbols. Enter the number from left to right and leave any unused boxes blank.

CHECKLIST FOR MAKING INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS:

6.If you didn’t receive an envelope, call the number at the top of Part 2.

7.In the event that the payment withdrawal doesn’t occur as scheduled, allow one additional month before contacting us to report any issues.

8.To make voluntary payments electronically, go to www.IRS.gov/Payments for payment options.

The IRS Form 433-D is a document used by taxpayers to set up a direct debit installment agreement with the Internal Revenue Service. This form allows individuals to make automatic payments toward their tax debt, ensuring that payments are made on time without the need for manual intervention. By opting for this payment method, taxpayers can avoid the risk of missing a payment and incurring additional penalties.

Who should use Form 433-D?

This form is primarily for individuals who have an outstanding tax balance and wish to establish a payment plan with the IRS. If you owe taxes and cannot pay the full amount immediately, Form 433-D can help you manage your debt more effectively. It is particularly beneficial for those who prefer the convenience of automatic payments, as it reduces the likelihood of late payments and associated fees.

How do I fill out Form 433-D?

Filling out Form 433-D involves providing personal information, such as your name, address, and Social Security number. You will also need to include details about your financial situation, including income, expenses, and assets. The form requires you to specify the amount you agree to pay each month. It is essential to ensure that the information provided is accurate and reflects your current financial status, as this will affect the IRS's approval of your installment agreement.

What happens after I submit Form 433-D?

Once you submit Form 433-D, the IRS will review your application. If approved, you will receive confirmation of your installment agreement, which outlines the terms of your payment plan. The IRS will then begin withdrawing the agreed-upon amount from your bank account on the specified dates. If your application is denied, the IRS will provide an explanation, and you may have the opportunity to appeal the decision or explore other payment options.

Can I change my payment amount after submitting Form 433-D?

Yes, it is possible to change your payment amount after the form has been submitted. However, you will need to contact the IRS to request a modification of your installment agreement. This may involve submitting additional documentation to demonstrate your current financial situation. It is advisable to make such requests as soon as possible to avoid any potential issues with your payment plan.

What should I do if I miss a payment under my installment agreement?

If you miss a payment, it is crucial to act quickly. The IRS may impose penalties or terminate your installment agreement if payments are not made as scheduled. Contact the IRS immediately to discuss your situation. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to reinstate your agreement or negotiate a new payment plan. Staying proactive in communication can help mitigate any negative consequences.

Common mistakes

Incorrect Personal Information: Many people forget to double-check their name, address, or Social Security number. Mistakes in these areas can lead to processing delays or even rejection of the form.
Inaccurate Financial Information: Some individuals fail to provide accurate details about their income and expenses. This can result in an unrealistic representation of their financial situation, which may affect the outcome of their request.
Not Signing the Form: A common oversight is neglecting to sign and date the form. Without a signature, the IRS cannot process the request, which can lead to further complications.
Missing Required Documentation: Individuals often forget to include necessary documents that support their financial claims. This can hinder the IRS's ability to review the case thoroughly and may delay the resolution process.

Documents used along the form

The IRS 433-D form is a crucial document used for setting up an installment agreement with the IRS. However, it is often accompanied by other forms and documents that help to provide a complete financial picture. Below are four commonly used forms and documents that may be required along with the IRS 433-D.

IRS Form 9465: This form is used to request a monthly installment plan for paying off tax debts. Taxpayers can submit this form to propose a payment plan that fits their financial situation.
IRS Form 1040: The standard individual income tax return form. This document provides the IRS with information about a taxpayer's income, deductions, and tax liability, which is essential for evaluating financial status.
IRS Form 433-A: This form is a Collection Information Statement for individuals. It collects detailed information about a taxpayer's financial situation, including income, expenses, and assets, to help the IRS assess the ability to pay.
IRS Form 433-B: Similar to Form 433-A, this form is used for businesses. It gathers financial information about a business's income, expenses, and assets to determine its capacity to pay tax debts.

Understanding these forms and their purposes can streamline the process of setting up an installment agreement with the IRS. Each document plays a vital role in ensuring that the IRS has the necessary information to assess your financial situation accurately.

Similar forms

The IRS Form 433-D is a crucial document used for establishing a Direct Debit Installment Agreement. It allows taxpayers to set up a payment plan with the IRS. Several other forms share similar purposes or functions. Below are four documents that are comparable to the IRS 433-D form:

IRS Form 9465: This form is used to request an installment agreement. Like Form 433-D, it facilitates the payment of tax liabilities over time, but it does not specifically set up direct debit payments.
IRS Form 433-A: This form is a Collection Information Statement for individuals. It collects detailed financial information, similar to what is required for Form 433-D, to assess a taxpayer's ability to pay.
IRS Form 433-B: This document serves as a Collection Information Statement for businesses. It provides financial details about a business's operations, akin to Form 433-D, but focuses on business entities rather than individuals.
IRS Form 2848: This is a Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative form. While it does not directly relate to payment plans, it allows a representative to act on behalf of a taxpayer, which can be essential when negotiating installment agreements like those set up with Form 433-D.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the IRS 433-D form, it's important to follow certain guidelines to ensure a smooth process. Here are some things you should and shouldn't do:

Do read the instructions carefully before starting.
Do provide accurate and complete information.
Do double-check your calculations.
Do sign and date the form.
Do keep a copy of the completed form for your records.

Don't leave any required fields blank.

Don't ignore deadlines for submission.

Misconceptions

The IRS 433-D form is often misunderstood. Here are five common misconceptions about this form, along with explanations to clarify each point.

It is only for individuals with large debts. Many believe that only those with significant tax liabilities need to file this form. In reality, anyone who is negotiating a payment plan with the IRS may need to use it, regardless of the amount owed.
Filing the form guarantees approval of a payment plan. Some think that submitting the IRS 433-D will automatically result in an approved payment plan. However, the IRS reviews each case individually, and approval depends on various factors, including financial information provided.
The form is only necessary for installment agreements. While it is commonly associated with installment agreements, the IRS 433-D can also be relevant for other types of payment arrangements. Understanding its broader application can be beneficial.
Once submitted, the payment plan cannot be changed. Many individuals assume that once they submit the form and the IRS accepts their payment plan, they cannot make adjustments. In fact, changes can be requested if circumstances change, but the IRS must approve any modifications.
Help is not available for filling out the form. Some people think they must complete the IRS 433-D on their own. In truth, assistance is available through tax professionals, IRS resources, and community organizations, making the process easier for those who need guidance.

When dealing with the IRS 433-D form, understanding its purpose and proper usage is essential. Here are some key takeaways to keep in mind:

The IRS 433-D form is used to set up an installment agreement for paying off tax debts.
Be prepared to provide detailed financial information, including income, expenses, and assets.
