Received a bill from the IRS that needs to be paid? Have an estimated tax payment due on September 15th? On extension until October 15th and need to pay your balance due? The IRS has a relatively new way for you to pay your taxes from the convenience of your own computer. Direct Pay is the latest addition to the IRS's online tools. Available through the Pay Your Tax Bill icon on IRS.gov, Direct Pay allows individuals to e-pay their tax bills or make quarterly estimated tax payments directly from checking or savings accounts without any fees or pre-registration.
Because Direct Pay allows taxpayers to schedule payments up to 30 days in advance, now is a good time for those who are making estimated tax payments for 2014 to set up their third quarter payment due Sept. 15. In addition, anyone who received an extension until Oct. 15 to file their 2013 federal return and now finds they owe additional tax can also use Direct Pay to e-pay the additional amount due.
Direct Pay is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Any taxpayer who uses the system receives instant confirmation that their payment was submitted.
Direct Pay cannot be used to pay business taxes. Taxpayers who wish to e-pay their federal business taxes should enroll in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), or click on the Pay Your Tax Bill icon to check out other payment options.
