Q: How Do I Pay the IRS or State by Paper Check
A : If you have a balance due tax return, you can request to mail a payment to the Government. If you choose this option, the FileYourTaxes.com system will generate a payment voucher for you to print, and mail with the paper check payment. With the payment voucher, the Government will be able to connect your payment to the eFile tax return.
If you choose this option, you will need to mail the tax payment on or before the tax filing deadline, even if your return has not accepted by the IRS or State. If you mail the tax payment after the tax filing deadline, you may be subject to penalties and interest. FileYourTaxes.com will make a payment voucher available for you to print as soon as your return is completed and transmitted to the Government. In most cases you can visit IRS.gov, or your State Government website to download a voucher.
FileYourTaxes.com recommends that taxpayers select Direct Debit, which has no additional fee, or the Credit Card tax payment, which requires the payment of convenience when eFiling as an OnLine tax payment option.
