The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) is a free tax payment system for all taxpayers. The EFTPS system is an easy way to pay your federal taxes for individuals as well as businesses. You can make ALL of your federal tax payments including federal tax deposits (FTDs), installment agreement, and estimated tax payments using EFTPS.
EFTPS can be used instead of Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) if you would prefer to set up your payment(s) separately from filing your return, or if you have already filed your return without setting up payments. Since the EFTPS payment information does not get transmitted when you e-file, indicate that you are paying by check during the filing steps, and then arrange payment through EFTPS.
To make estimated tax payments online, first establish an account with the IRS at the EFTPS website. Once you have an EFTPS account established, you can schedule automatic withdrawals for your quarterly estimated taxes, specifying the amounts and the dates of the payments.
