Form 433-H Installment Agreement Request and
(April 2020)
Collection Information Statement
Use Form 433-H if you earn wages, you are requesting an installment agreement, and your liability is either greater than $50,000 or cannot be paid
within 72 months.
Tip If you can pay your liability within 72 months or less and owe $50,000 or less, you may be able to establish an installment agreement online, even if
you have not yet received a bill for your taxes. Go to IRS.gov to apply to pay online.
Caution Do not use this form if you can pay your balance in full within 120 days. Instead, call the number on your most recent notice. If you are in
bankruptcy or we have accepted your offer-in-compromise, see Bankruptcy or Offer-in-Compromise, in the instructions.

since these charges will continue to accrue until you pay in full. (If you have an existing installment agreement, this amount should
represent your total proposed monthly payment amount for all your liabilities.) If no payment amount is listed on line 6, a payment will
be determined for you by analyzing the information you provided on your financial statement.

remain in full force and effect until I notify the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent to terminate the authorization. To revoke payment, I must contact the
U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 1-800-829-1040 no later than 14 business days prior to the payment (settlement) date. I also authorize the financial
institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payments of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and
resolve issues related to the payments.
