IRS Online Account: Access essential information for tax preparation, balance payment, and notice follow-up through the IRS Online Account. This includes:
Adjusted Gross Income.
Payment history and pending payments.
Payment plan details.
Digital copies of select IRS notices.
Utilize the Online Account for secure same-day payment, quarterly estimated tax payments, or extension requests.
Electronic Payment Options:
Direct Pay: Easily make one-time payments via Direct Pay on IRS.gov without an Online Account. Schedule payments up to 365 days in advance and receive immediate confirmation.
Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW): Pay electronically through your bank account while using tax preparation software or a tax professional when e-filing.
Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS): Safely pay taxes by phone or online. Enroll at 800-555-4477 or eftps.gov.
Debit/Credit Card or Digital Wallet: Pay online, by phone, or via mobile devices through authorized processors (fees apply).
Other Options:
Cash: Pay in cash at IRS Cash Processing Company services.
Check or Money Order: Payable to "United States Treasury," include details on the check/money order.
Loan Option: If unable to pay in full, consider various payment options, including loans, to minimize interest and penalties. Act promptly to reduce accumulation.
Online Self-Service Payment Plans:
Most individual taxpayers qualify for Online Payment Agreement:
Short-Term Plan: Balance under $100,000, with up to 180 days for full payment.
Long-Term Plan (Installment Agreement): Balance under $50,000. Monthly payments over up to 72 months. Direct debit recommended.
Existing payment plans can be revised using Online Payment Agreement.
Interest and Penalty Reduction:
Interest and late-payment penalties continue after April 18.
Installment agreement halves the tax penalty rate, though interest accrues.
Additional Payment Options:
Offer in Compromise: Some taxpayers can settle tax liabilities for less through Offer in Compromise. Use the Pre-Qualifier tool to check eligibility.
Temporary Collection Delay: Request delay if unable to pay; penalties and interest accumulate until full payment.
Other Plan Options: For non-qualifiers of online service, contact IRS for alternative payment plans.
Ensure smooth tax management by exploring these simplified electronic payment options and resources.
