Follow these steps to enter Form 9465 in the program:

Complete the information under the Automatic Withdrawal Information subsection.

Will the IRS withdraw the entire tax due amount from the Form 1040 if Form 9465 is e-filed with the return?

The amount of payment you’re making with the request from Form 9465, line 8 will be transmitted as the amount to be withdrawn.

The E-file Summary may say that the amount to be paid with the return is the full tax due from the Form 1040, page 2, but the electronic file shows the correct amount from the Form 9465. A review of the Client Letter or Filing Instructions will show the appropriate amount that will be withdrawn from the taxpayer's bank account.

How long will it take for the IRS to accept or reject the request?

The IRS will usually let the client know whether the request was approved or denied within 30 days of receiving it.
