Tax Tips – Making a Tax Payment

It’s that time again. If you need to pay this year, the IRS makes it easy for you to make payments. In some cases, you may be able to make installments if you’re not able to pay the full amount on time. Here are some ways to pay that bill:

Direct Pay: You can pay your tax bill online from a bank account with IRS Direct Pay. You’ll have the ability to schedule payments up to 30 days in advance, and there is an option for you to change or cancel your payment.

Credit or Debit Cards: Using your debit or credit card, you can pay your tax bill online, by phone, or with your smartphone. There may be fees that apply.

Installment Agreement: The IRS may arrange monthly payments if you can’t pay your tax bill in full. In order to use this service, you’ll need to have filed all required tax returns. Visit https://www.irs.gov/payments/online-payment-agreement-application to learn more.

IRS App: If you’re on the go, then the IRS2Go app may be for you. You can make payments and more. Download the IRS app from your favorite app store.
