Instructions for Form
9465-FS

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service

(December 2011)

Installment Agreement Request
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless
otherwise noted.

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 9465-FS to request a monthly installment plan if your
liability is greater than $25,000 but not more than $50,000 and you
cannot pay the full amount you owe shown on your tax return (or on
a notice we sent you). Though Form 9465-FS is meant to be used
by taxpayers with liabilities greater than $25,000 but not more than
$50,000, it can be used by all taxpayers to request an installment
agreement. Generally, you can have up to 72 months to pay. In
certain circumstances, you can have longer to pay or your
agreement can be approved for an amount that is less than the
amount of tax you owe.
If you use this form you must file it on paper and attach it to the
front of your return; mailing it to the address shown in your tax
return booklet. If you have already filed your return and you are
sending in Form 9465-FS on its own, mail it to the address shown
in these instructions for the type of return filed. However, before
requesting an installment agreement, you should consider other
less costly alternatives, such as getting a bank loan or using
available credit on a credit card. If you have any questions about
this request, call 1-800-829-1040.
Use Form 9465-FS if you are an individual:

• Who owes income tax on Form 1040,
• Who may be responsible for a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty,
• Who was self-employed and owes self-employment or

unemployment taxes and is no longer operating the business,
• Who is personally responsible for a partnership liability and the
partnership is no longer operating, or
• Owner who is personally responsible for taxes in the name of a
limited liability company (LLC) and the LLC is no longer operating.
Do not use Form 9465-FS if:

• You can pay the full amount you owe within 120 days (see Can

you pay in full within 120 days?), or
• You want to request an online payment agreement (see Applying
online for a payment agreement).
Guaranteed installment agreement. Your request for an
installment agreement cannot be turned down if the tax you owe is
not more than $10,000 and all three of the following apply.
• 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 have not entered into an installment agreement for
payment of income tax.
• The IRS determines that you cannot pay the tax owed in full
when it is due and you give the IRS any information needed to
make that determination.
• 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.

!

A Notice of Federal Tax Lien may be filed to protect the
government’s interests until you pay in full.

CAUTION

Can you pay in full within 120 days? If you can pay the full
amount you owe within 120 days, call 1-800-829-1040 to establish
your request to pay in full. If you can do this, you can avoid paying
the fee to set up an installment agreement. Instead of calling, you
can apply online.
Applying online for a payment agreement. If your balance due
is not more than $50,000, you can apply online for a payment

agreement instead of filing Form 9465-FS. To do that, go to
IRS.gov and click on “More...” under Tools.
Bankruptcy or offer-in-compromise. If you are in bankruptcy or
we have accepted your offer-in-compromise, do not file this form.
Instead, call 1-800-829-1040 to get the number of your local IRS
Insolvency function for bankruptcy or Technical Support function for
offer-in-compromise.

How the Installment Agreement Works
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 fee of $105 ($52 if you make your payments by
electronic funds withdrawal). However, you may qualify to pay a
reduced fee of $43 if your income is below a certain level. The IRS
will let you know whether you qualify for the reduced fee. If the IRS
does not say you qualify for the reduced fee, you can request the
reduced fee using Form 13844, Application For Reduced User Fee
For Installment Agreements.
You will also 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. Interest and any
applicable penalties will be charged until the balance is paid in full.
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 will be applied to your account in the best
interests of the United States.
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 enough withholding or estimated tax
payments so that your tax liability for future years is paid in full
when you timely file your return. Your request for an installment
agreement will be denied if all required tax returns have not been
filed. Any refund due you in a future year will be applied against the
amount you owe. If your refund is applied to your balance, you are
still required to make your regular monthly installment payment.
Payment methods. You can make your payments by check,
money order, credit card, or one of the other payment methods
shown next. The fee for each payment method is also shown.
Payment method

Applicable fee

Check, money order, or credit card

$105

Electronic funds withdrawal

$ 52

Payroll deduction installment
agreement

$105

For details on how to pay, see your tax return instructions, visit
IRS.gov, or call 1-800-829-1040.
After we receive each payment, 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, you
will not receive a notice. Your bank statement is your record of
payment. We will also 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.

Cat. No. 58659P

If you do not make your payments on time or do not pay any
balance due on a return you file later, you will be in default on your
agreement and we may take enforcement actions, such as the filing
of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien 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 electronic funds
withdrawal (see the instructions for lines 11a and 11b, later).
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. This
request will not suspend the statute of limitations on collection.
While the IRS considers your request to modify or terminate the
installment agreement, you must comply with the existing
agreement.

For taxpayers filing Form 1040 with Schedule(s) C, E, or F for any tax
year for which this installment agreement is being requested.

An installment agreement may be terminated if you provide

TIP materially incomplete or inaccurate information in response
to an IRS request for a financial update.

For additional information on the IRS collection process, see
Pub. 594, The IRS Collection Process.

Where To File
Attach Form 9465-FS to the front of your return and send it to the
address shown in your tax return booklet. If you have already filed
your return or you are filing this form in response to a notice, file
Form 9465-FS by itself with the Internal Revenue Service Center
using the address in the table below that applies to you.
For all taxpayers except those filing Form 1040 with Schedule(s) C, E,

Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. Our legal
right to ask for the information on this form is sections 6001, 6011,
6012(a), 6109, and 6159 and their regulations. We will use the
information to process your request for an installment agreement.
The reason we need your name and social security number is to
secure proper identification. We require this information to gain
access to the tax information in our files and properly respond to
your request. You are not required to request an installment
agreement. If you do request an installment agreement, you are
required to provide the information requested on this form. Failure
to provide this information may prevent processing your request;
providing false information may subject you to fines or penalties.
You are not 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.
The average time and expenses required to complete and file
this form will vary depending on individual circumstances. For the
estimated averages, see the instructions for your income tax return.
If you have suggestions for making this form simpler, we would
be happy to hear from you. See the instructions for your income tax
return.

Lines 11a and 11b
Making your payments by electronic funds withdrawal will

TIP help ensure that your payments are made timely and that
you are not in default of this agreement.

To pay by electronic funds withdrawal from your checking
account at a bank or other financial institution (such as mutual fund,
brokerage firm, or credit union), fill in lines 11a and 11b. Check with
your financial institution to make sure that an electronic funds
withdrawal is allowed and to get the correct routing and account
numbers.
If the total amount you owe is greater than $25,000 but not
more than $50,000, you must agree to a Direct Debit
CAUTION Installment Agreement (DDIA) to qualify for an IA without
completing a financial statement. If you do not agree to a DDIA, you
must complete Form 433-F, Collection Information Statement, and
mail it with this form.
Line 11a. 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
on this page, 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, do not use the routing
number on that check. Instead, contact your financial institution for
the correct routing number.
Line 11b. 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 below, the account number is
20202086. Do not include the check number.
Note. We may have filed a notice of federal tax lien against your
property. If so, you may be able to get the notice of lien withdrawn.
To learn more about lien withdrawals and to see if you qualify, visit
IRS.gov and enter ‘‘lien withdrawal’’ in the search box.
