E-Filing - Direct Debit Not Set Up
1

If the return that was accepted by the IRS did not contain valid banking information for a direct debit of the amount due (information entered either through the electronic filing steps or on the Electronic Filing Worksheet), you have the following payment options available to you:

  1. Pay your taxes electronically by using the free Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) via the internet or phone. Please note that you must enroll in the system before making a payment.
  2. You may pay your tax due by credit card through the 3rd-party website Pay1040.com.
  3. You may also print the payment voucher (Form 1040-V) from the return and mail your tax due to the IRS by check.

Please note that if you are paying your tax due late, the IRS may assess penalties and interest on your tax due and these will be calculated and billed after your payment and return have been processed.

To print the Form 1040-V payment voucher, follow the instructions below.
