Terms of this agreement—By completing and submitting this agreement, you (the taxpayer) agree to the following terms:
• 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 or accrue an additional liability, 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, including any shared responsibility payment
under the Affordable Care Act.
• You must pay a $225 user fee, which we have authority to deduct from your
first payment(s). You may be eligible for a reduced user fee of $43 that may
be waived or reimbursed if certain conditions are met. See Form 13844 for
qualifications and instructions.
• 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.
• 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 tax 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, or 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. You will receive a notice from us prior to termination of your
agreement. EXCEPTION: We cannot collect the individual shared
responsibility payment under the Affordable Care Act by levy on your income
or seizure.
• 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, but we will not file a Notice of
Federal Tax Lien on an individual shared responsibility payment under the
Affordable Care Act.
