An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances–such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time. Installment contracts can provide that installments are to be performed by either one or both parties.
An instalment sale agreement between you and a credit provider allows you to buy a vehicle or asset using the principal debt, which you repay by means of regular instalments over an agreed period, with fees and interest.
Form 9465 can be included electronically with an e-filed return or paper-filed. When filing a paper return, complete Form 9465, attach it to the front of your client's return before mailing. They should receive a response to the request for installment payments within 30 days.
If you mail Form 9465, the IRS will respond to your request typically within 30 days but it may take longer during filing season. Installment agreements by direct debit and payroll deduction enable you to make timely payments automatically and reduce the possibility of default.
You can send Form 9465 with the e-return, but the IRS must still approve the installment agreement form.
