Paying Taxes
E-pay is the IRS's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). You can pay via direct debit from your checking account, which you can do by phone on online using the IRS's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
Any new business taxpayer requesting a new Employer Identification Number (EIN) and has federal tax deposit obligations is pre-enrolled in EFTPS.
Required business taxpayers whose deposit level is over $200,000 in any year are pre-enrolled in EFTPS.
E-Payment Options for Individuals
- File electronically, or
- File and pay your tax simultaneously
If you can pay the full amount of taxes you owe within 120 day, call 1-800-829-1040 to establish your request to pay in full (or apply online). If you can pay the full amount within 120 days, you can avoid the fee (see below) for setting up an installment agreement.
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System is a free service offered by the U.S. Department of Treasury. It is a secure way to make sure your payments are received timely. You can make all your federal tax payments online or by phone.
You can e-file your tax return and, at the same time, pay the balance due with a credit card. The IRS does not receive or store credit card numbers.
Credit card payment options are available through service providers. A convenience fee is charged by the service provider. The fee varies according to the amount of your tax payment. The fee is deductible if it is business-related. Otherwise, it is a nondeductible personal expense.
