Review the direct-debit terms
Your first move
Your direct-debit installment agreement was granted or revised. Confirm the bank information, amount, and payment date.
Letter 1962-C confirms that the IRS granted or revised a direct-debit installment agreement using Form 433-D. It describes the payment terms the IRS placed on the account.
Verify Every Payment Detail
Compare the routing and account numbers, monthly amount, first debit date, and recurring debit day with the authorization you signed. Contact the IRS promptly if any term is wrong. Bank-account changes generally require a new signed authorization and enough lead time before the next scheduled withdrawal.
Prevent a Default
Keep sufficient funds in the account before each debit. Continue filing all required returns and paying current taxes on time. A returned debit or new tax balance can put the agreement at risk.
