The IRS is continuing to move toward electronic processing and is now increasingly requiring that tax payments be submitted electronically rather than by paper check. This helps reduce processing delays, posting errors, and payment misapplications.
If you prefer to make your payment directly to the IRS, you can do so securely using one of the IRS’s approved electronic payment methods, including bank draft or online payment services.
To help guide you through this process, we’ve included the Direct Pay Help LINK HERE to make an electronic payment directly to the IRS.
