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, paytaxusa.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.
