The IRS understands that taxpayers who owe money need choices on how they
can make payments to the agency. IRS offers three easy ways to pay taxes.
Taxpayers can pay online, by phone or with their mobile device using the IRS2Go
app. Any time of the year is a good time for taxpayers to explore these payment
options.
Additionally, some taxpayers must make quarterly estimated tax payments
throughout the year. This includes sole proprietors, partners, and S
corporation shareholders who expect to owe $1,000 or more when they file.
Individuals who participate in the sharing
economy might also have to make estimated payments.
Here are four options for taxpayers who need to pay their taxes. They can:
- Pay when they e-file using their bank account, at no
charge from the IRS, using electronic
funds withdrawal.
- Use IRS Direct
Pay to pay their taxes, including estimated taxes. Direct Pay allows
taxpayers to pay electronically directly from their checking or savings
account for free. Taxpayers can choose to receive email notifications
about their payments. The IRS remind taxpayers to watch out for email
schemes. IRS Direct Pay sends emails only to users who requested the
service.
- Pay by credit
or debit card through a card processor for a fee. Taxpayers can make
these payments online, by phone, or using their mobile device with the
IRS2Go app.
- Make a cash payment at a participating 7-Eleven store.
Taxpayers can do this at more than 7,000 locations nationwide. To pay with
cash, visit IRS.gov/paywithcash
and follow the instructions.
- Pay over time by applying for an online
payment agreement. Once the IRS accepts an agreement, the taxpayers
can make their payment in monthly
installments.
For a full menu of payment options, taxpayers can visit IRS.gov/payments.
