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 amount you owe until it is fully paid or the statutory period for collection has
expired.
• You must pay a $120 user fee, which we have authority to deduct from your first payment(s) ($52 for Direct Debit).
• If you default on your installment agreement, you must pay a $50 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.
• 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 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 which may negatively impact your credit rating.
HOW TO PAY BY DIRECT DEBIT
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:
1. Write your social security or employer identification number on each payment.
2. Make your check or money order payable to “United States Treasury.”
3. Make each payment in an amount at least equal to the amount specified in this agreement.
4. Don’t double one payment and skip the next without contacting us first.
5. Enclose a copy of the reminder notice, if you received one, with each payment using the envelope provided. Make a payment even if you do not
receive a reminder notice. Mail the payment to the IRS address indicated on the front of this form.
6. If you didn’t receive an envelope, call the number below.
This agreement will not affect your liability (if any) for backup withholding under Public Law 98-67, the Interest and Dividend Compliance Act of 1983
