How do I send in the money I withhold to the IRS?

On: July 7, 2019

You can:

1. Pay with your bank account for free, or choose an approved payment processor to pay by credit or debit card.
2. You can pay electronically, by phone or over the internet, through the EFTPS system. EFTPS is offered free by the U.S. Department of Treasury.

• You can pay by Electronic Funds Withdrawal. Use commercial software, a paid preparer, or IRS Free File to e-file your federal tax return and at the same time submit an EFW payment request.
• Upon selection of the electronic funds withdrawal option, a payment record will display for entry of payment information. Visit EFW Payment Record Instructions for details.

3. You can pay by Same Day Wire Federal Tax Deposits. You may be able to do a same-day wire from your Financial Institution. Contact your Financial Institution for availability, cost, and cut-off times. Download the Same-Day Taxpayer Worksheet. Complete it and take it to your Financial Institution. If you are paying for more than one tax form or tax period, complete a separate worksheet for each payment.
4. You can pay by check or money order. If you choose to mail your tax payment:

• Make your check, money order or cashier’s check payable to U.S. Treasury.
  • Please note: Do not send cash through the mail.
• Enter the amount using all numbers ($###.##).
• Do not use staples or paper clips to affix your payment to your voucher or return.
• Make sure your check or money order includes the following information:
  • Your name and address
  • Daytime phone number
  • Social Security number (the SSN shown first if it’s a joint return) or employer identification number
  • Tax year
  • Related tax form or notice number
• Mail your payment to the address listed on the notice or instructions, or consult the table below (see irs.gov. – “Where should I mail my federal tax deposit?’).
