433-H (Rev. 4-2020)
Instructions for Form 433-H, Installment Agreement Request
and Collection Information Statement
What is the purpose of Form 433-H?
Form 433-H, Installment Agreement Request and
Collection Information Statement, is used by wage earners
to provide current financial information and request an
installment agreement, allowing the Service to determine
how best to satisfy outstanding tax liabilities.
However, before requesting an installment agreement,
you should consider other payment options, which
may be less costly, such as getting a bank loan or
using available credit on a credit card.
You must file all required returns that have not been filed.
Your request for an installment agreement will be denied if
all required tax returns have not been filed.
Use Form 433-H if you earn wages and are requesting an
installment agreement and either:
• You cannot pay your outstanding liability within 72
months, or
• Your outstanding liability exceeds $50,000.
Do not use Form 433-H if:
• Your outstanding liability is $50,000 or less and you
can pay within 72 months. Instead, use Form 9465,
Installment Agreement Request. See the tip below.
• You are self-employed. Instead, use Form 433-D,
Installment Agreement.
• You operate a business. Instead, use Form 433-D,
Installment Agreement.
TIP
If you can pay your outstanding liability within 120
days, there is no user fee for this type of
agreement, and you may be able to establish an
Online Payment Agreement (OPA). To apply online,
go to http://www irs.gov, and enter “Online Payment
Agreement" in the "Search" box.
TIP
If you owe $50,000 or less in combined tax,
penalties and interest and filed all required returns,
you may be able to establish an installment
agreement online. Go to IRS.gov to pay online. You
may owe a lower user fee if you establish your
agreement through the OPA application.
A large down payment to reduce your liability to $50,000
or less may streamline the installment agreement process,
pay your balance faster and reduce the amount of
penalties and interest charged.
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-incompromise.
Please retain a copy of your completed form and
supporting documentation. After we review your
completed form, we may contact you for additional
information. For example, we may ask you to send
supporting documentation of your current income or
substantiation of your stated expenditures.
Instructions
Part 1 – Installment Agreement Request
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.
We will review the financial information provided in
Sections A through G, determine your ability to pay and
compare it with the monthly payment amount you
proposed in Part 1, Line 6. We will contact you if we have
questions or believe you can pay your liability more
quickly.
If your request is approved, we will send you a notice
detailing the terms of your agreement and requesting a
fee of $225 ($107 if you make your payments by direct
debit).
Low income taxpayer. You are a low-income taxpayer if
your adjusted gross income meets the low-income
threshold (at or below 250% of the federal poverty
guidelines, as determined for the most recent year for
which information is available). 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 have low income
taxpayer status. If you agree to establish a direct debit
installment agreement (DDIA), you will not be charged a
user fee.
If the IRS does not say you qualify for low-income
taxpayer status, you can request reconsideration by using
Form 13844, Application For Reduced User Fee For
Installment Agreements. The user fee for low income
taxpayers is $43, which may be waived or reimbursed if
certain conditions are met. See the instructions for line 8c.
for details.
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).
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 agree to provide
updated financial information when requested.
You also agree to meet all your future tax obligations. This
means that you must have enough withholding or
estimated tax payments so that your tax obligation for
future years is paid in full when payment is due. And you
agree to timely file your return.

Part 1 – Installment Agreement Request
(Continued)
Any refund you are due 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 setting up an
installment agreement for each payment method is also
shown.
Payment Method Applicable User Fee
Check, money order, credit card
or payroll deduction installment
agreement
$225
Direct debit installment
agreement
$107
Your specific tax situation will determine which payment
options are available to you. You may owe a lower user
fee if you establish your agreement through the OPA
application on the IRS web site; however, not all taxpayers
qualify to apply for an installment agreement online to pay
off their balance over time. Go to IRS.gov, and enter
“Online Payment Agreement” in the “Search” box for more
information.
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.
What happens if the taxpayer doesn’t comply with the
terms of the installment agreement? 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 terminate the agreement and take
enforcement actions, such as the filing of a Notice of
Federal Tax Lien or initiating an IRS levy action, to collect
the entire amount you owe.
For additional information on the IRS collection process,
see Pub. 594, The IRS Collection Process, or Pub. 1,
Know Your Rights as a Taxpayer. You may also visit
IRS.gov
and put “collection process” into the "Search"
box. To ensure that your payments are made timely, you
should consider making them by direct debit. See the
instructions for lines 8a and 8b on page 5.
!
CAUTION
An installment agreement may be terminated if
you provide materially incomplete or inaccurate
information in response to an IRS request for a
financial update.
Notice of Federal Tax Lien. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien
(NFTL) may be filed to protect the government’s interests
until you pay in full. If you meet certain criteria, you may
be able to get the NFTL withdrawn. To learn more about
NFTL withdrawals and to see if you qualify, visit www.irs.
gov and enter "lien" in the “Search” box.

interest charges. If you are filing this form with your tax
return, make the payment with your return. For details on
how to pay, see your tax return instructions.
Attach a check or money order payable to “United States
Treasury.” Do not send cash. Be sure to include:

day that your first payment is due.
If we have not replied by the date you chose for your first

TIP
Making your payments by direct debit will help
ensure that your payments are made timely and
that you are not in default of this agreement.
To pay by direct debit from your checking account at a
bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund,
brokerage firm, or credit union), fill in lines 8a and 8b.
Check with your financial institution to make sure that a
direct debit is allowed and to get the correct routing and
account numbers.
Line 8a. 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 following sample check, 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 8b. 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 following sample check, the account number is

the NFTL withdrawn. To learn more about NFTL
withdrawals and to see if you qualify, visit IRS gov
and enter "lien" in the “Search” box.
If you qualify as a low income taxpayer, you will receive a
waiver of the installment agreement user fees if you agree
to make electronic payments through a debit instrument
(debit payments) by following the direct debit instructions
in lines 8 a. and b.
Line 8c. If you are a low income taxpayer that is unable to
make debit payments, please indicate by checking the box
in line 8c. to receive a reimbursement of the reduced user
fees upon completion of your agreement.
If you do not check the box in line 8c. and you do not
provide your checking account information in lines 8a. and
b., then you will be treated as being able to but choosing
not to make debit payments and your user fees will not be
reimbursed upon completion of your installment
agreement.
