Paying the IRS
There are many ways to pay your Federal Tax obligation to the IRS. However, your situation will dictate what options are available to you. Here’s a link to the IRS ‘Payment’ page explaining all options. Payments.
Direct Debit Payment When You Efile Your Return
When you e-file your return, you can pay your tax liability directly by debit from your bank account. Remember, this is a direct debit from a bank account, not a debit card transaction. You will be asked to provide your bank account information. The payment is debited from your account on or after the due date.
Pay by check or money order when e-filing or mailing your return.
If you do not want a direct debit, you can always pay by check or money order. The mailing address where you send your check is different depending on the area of the country you reside in and whether or not a payment is attached to the return. You can find your specific mailing location at the following link.
Payment Plans with the IRS
The IRS has a pretty good website that explains your options for paying your taxes over time. Go to PAYMENT PLANS for complete information on setting up a plan that meets your financial needs.
Paying Taxes with Credit or Debit Cards
The IRS is prohibited from accepting credit or debit card payments for your federal tax obligation. With that said, some third-party providers will act as an intermediary with the IRS to facilitate credit or debit card payment usage.
