Payment Options - Ways To Make a Payment
Payments can be made by several electronic payment options, check, money order, cashier’s check, or cash.
Electronic Payment Options:
Taxpayers can authorize an electronic funds withdrawal when using IRS e-file to file their return, use a credit or debit card, or enroll in the U.S. Treasury’s Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The electronic funds withdrawal and EFTPS options are free!
Electronic payment options give taxpayers an alternative to paying taxes by check or money order. Payments can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Electronic payment options are convenient, safe and secure.
