Other Ways You Can Pay

Can't Pay Now?


Check Your Balance Due

You should refer to the notice you received for your latest balance due, or have it handy and call the toll-free number listed on the notice for your current payoff amount. If you don't have a recent notice handy, please see Finding Out How Much You Owe.

Prevent Future Tax Liabilities

You can reduce or even eliminate a balance due after filing, by adjusting your withholding amount or making estimated payments. 

The IRS Withholding Calculator can help you adjust the amount withheld from your pay by your employer, in order to reduce or eliminate your balance due. 

Estimated tax is the method you use to pay tax on income that is not subject to withholding, such as self-employment income.
