You have three options for paying the tax due on your
tax return. Efile charges must be paid using a credit
card.
Direct Withdrawal. You can authorize an electronic
funds withdrawal (direct debit) from your checking or
savings account. Once you've prepared your return, simply
enter your bank's routing number and your checking or
savings account number and schedule an automatic withdrawal
for a future date up to April 15.
EFTPS. Any individual taxpayer making payments for Forms 1040, or
installment payments can use EFTPS-OnLine.
Credit Card. The IRS does not accept credit card payments
directly. To pay by credit card, you will need to contact one of the
IRS-authorized service providers. If you wish to pay by credit card, use TaxACT to complete and
e-file your taxes. During the e-file steps, choose the
"Mail a Check" option. After your return has been successfully
e-filed and been accepted by the IRS, you may pay any
taxes due by phone or Internet. To pay by phone, call 1-800-2PAY-TAX. Generally,
taxpayers can make a payment using a Discover® Card, American
Express® Card, MasterCard® or VISA® card. To pay via Internet, visit Pay1040.com.
