IRS Form 433-D Installment Agreement, Explained

Where do you mail Form 433-D? Mail the signed Part 1 to the address printed on the IRS letter that came with the form, or to the address shown in the “For assistance” box on the front of the form itself. There is no single national mailing address for Form 433-D. If you have not signed an agreement yet, you can usually set up the same monthly payment plan online through the IRS Online Payment Agreement instead.

Form 433-D is used for the application for an Installment Agreement with the IRS to know when and how much to automatically draft from a bank account.

What a Form 433-D is used for

This form is used for the application of an Installment Agreement with the IRS.

An Installment Agreement is the understanding between you and IRS that you will pay back your debt in “installments” or monthly payments. This is a good idea if you have a large amount and need to pay it back gradually. The downside to this is that if you miss a payment, you may be denied the continuing of the Installment Agreement and have to pay it all upfront.

It may be in your benefit to have automatic payments because it could be cheaper over the long-haul with lower interest rates.

NOTE: It can take about 30 to 45 days for this form to be approved and the first payment drafted.

Difference between Form 433-D and Form 9465

Form 433-D is the basic Installment Agreement for payment over a period of time.

Form 9465 is a request to have an Installment Agreement.

Submitting Form 433-D

There are two ways to submit the form:

1. Electronically

Form 433-D itself cannot be submitted electronically. If you want to set up an installment agreement without mailing paperwork, you can apply through the IRS Online Payment Agreement. You can view your balance and make payments at IRS.gov/payments.

2. By mail

Send the signed Part 1 to the address on the IRS letter that came with your form, or to the address in the “For assistance” box on the front of the form. The IRS routes installment agreements to different processing sites, so the address on your own paperwork is the correct one. If an IRS employee gave you the form, use the return address they provided.
