While you cannot pay your federal amount due by credit card in our program, it is possible to pay your federal tax due by credit card by visiting our partner, pay1040.
The IRS has several trusted companies that they have approved to process tax payments for them. TaxSlayer has partnered with pay1040 to allow our customers to securely process their IRS payments with a credit or debit card.
What options do I have to pay the federal amount due?
When filing your current year tax return(s) with an amount due to the IRS, you will be given the option to have your payment electronically withdrawn during the e-filing process. You will be asked to provide the applicable banking information (the bank's routing number and the account number you wish to use), and this information will be transmitted to the IRS along with the date you requested to have your payment withdrawn.
You can also elect to pay the amount due by mailed check. When your accepted return(s) shows a balance due, a payment voucher is provided as part of the accepted PDF of the Federal return. The payment voucher should be included with the check for the amount owed when mailing in your payment. Generally, the mailing address will be listed on the voucher.
If you wish to pay the IRS using pay1040, choose to pay via mailed check during the e-file process, then use the pay1040 link to pay with your credit or debit card.
