Form 433-H (Installment Agreement Request and Collection Information Statement)
A combined installment agreement request and financial statement for wage earners. The IRS directs you to it when a proposed monthly amount does not meet its requirements.
Full Definition
Form 433-H combines two things that are usually separate: a request for an installment agreement, and the Collection Information Statement supporting it.
The IRS names it alongside Forms 433-F and 433-B on its payment plans page, in the circumstance where a proposed monthly payment does not meet its requirements — at that point it directs the taxpayer to one of those forms rather than accepting the proposal as made.
That is the whole of what a retrieved IRS source establishes about it, and this page stops there.
The practical distinction between the collection information statements is which of them the IRS asks for. That is not a choice a taxpayer makes: the notice or the IRS employee names the form.
What to do next
If the IRS has named a specific Collection Information Statement in a notice or a call, use that one. They are not interchangeable and the IRS chooses.
What this page does not say
- The Form 433-H PDF on irs.gov returns an Adobe Reader placeholder rather than extractable text, so the form itself has not been read. Everything here comes from the IRS page that names it. What it asks for, and how it differs field by field from Form 433-F, is not stated.
