Form 9465 (zh-s): Installment Agreement Request, Simplified Chinese Version

Form 9465 (zh-s) is the Simplified Chinese version of Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request. The two-page PDF is titled "分期付款协议申请", and its lines and notes are in Simplified Chinese for people who read Chinese. A few header items, such as "Department of the Treasury" and the OMB number, stay in English. It is dated September 2020 ("2020 年 9 月修订版", Rev. 9-2020), the same revision the IRS lists for the English form.

An individual uses it to ask the IRS to pay tax owed in monthly installments. Part I holds the request: names, address, the amounts owed, a proposed monthly payment, a payment day, and direct debit or payroll deduction options. Part II asks about household, pay and expenses, but only when three conditions on the form all apply. The form says that people who owe $50,000 or less may be able to set up an installment agreement online at www.irs.gov/OPA instead, with a lower user fee.

The instructions are separate, and the form points to English ones: it says to visit www.irs.gov/Form9465 for them and marks that link as English ("英文"). The English edition, Form 9465, has its own page. You can fill out this Chinese PDF free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.

Where it goes and what to know

With your return

The form says it can be attached to the front of the tax return when filed together. The instructions say to send it to the address in the return booklet.

By itself

If the return is already filed, or the form answers a notice, the instructions say to file it alone at the IRS address in their table, which depends on where you live and whether the return has Schedule C, E or F.

Online option

The form says people who owe $50,000 or less may set up an agreement online at www.irs.gov/OPA, with a lower user fee than with Form 9465.

Form 433-F

The form says to complete and attach Form 433-F if line 9 is more than $50,000, or if the payment cannot be raised to the line 10 amount.

Response time

The instructions say the IRS usually replies within 30 days, or longer for tax due on a return filed after March 31.

Canceling a direct debit

The authorization on line 13 says to call 1-800-829-1040 at least 14 business days before the payment date to revoke a payment.
