The amount of the usage fee may vary depending on whether or not you use the online payment app and how you plan to make your monthly payments. For more information, see the following table. If you have additional due dates that are not listed on line 5, enter the amount here (even if they are included in an existing payment contract).

The IRS will continue to debit payments from the Bank for Direct Debit Agreements (DDAs) during the suspension period. However, taxpayers who are unable to comply with the terms of their instalment payment agreement may suspend payments during this period. Instalment payment agreements will not be in default due to missing payments during the suspension period until July 15, 2020. IrS may be able to suspend some individual DDIA payments upon request, but due to disruptions caused by COVID-19 related issues, it may be difficult to reach an assistant. Note that if payments are stopped in order to avoid a possible default in the agreement after the expiry of the suspension period on July 15, 2020, taxpayers must inform their bank that the debits can be resumed at least two weeks before the due date of their next payment.
If the total amount you owe does not exceed $50,000 (including amounts you owe from previous years), you do not need to file Form 9465. You can request a installment payment agreement online for a reduced fee. For more information, see Apply online for a installment payment agreement and other payment plans later.
