How to Make Tax Payments to the IRS (2026 Update)

To improve security and speed, the IRS has transitioned to a "Digital First" system. As of the current tax season, the IRS has phased out the mailing of paper refund checks. While they still accept paper checks for payments, electronic methods are now the fastest and most secure way to ensure your payment is credited on time. 

If you do not want your tax liability automatically withdrawn from your bank account when we file your return, we recommend these two secure options:

  1. IRS Direct Pay (Recommended) Pay directly from your checking or savings account for free. No registration or account setup is required. [Click here to use IRS Direct Pay]
