How do I pay tax liability/taxes owed

The IRS offers taxpayers several different options to pay any taxes owed.

 

Payment Options:

  1. From your bank account can be selected at the time of filing your return to complete a one time payment of your balance at the time of filing. For instructions to pay via bank account, see: 
  1. Paper Check can be selected at the time of filing your return.  You must include a copy of your payment voucher and paper check at the time of mailing. For more detailed instruction to pay via Paper check, see:
  1. Pay directly on the IRS website, using debit card or credit card - To pay your Balance Due go directly to the IRS website with a debit, credit card, or digital wallet, see:

4.IRS Installment Agreements / Payment Plans - MyFreeTaxReturn.com does not support a payment plan option on a balance due. If you wish to set up a payment plan for any amount due, you must register or login to your IRS.gov account and set up a payment plan directly with the IRS. See:

Please note:

If wanting to set up a Payment Plan, first indicate that you want to pay by paper check at the time of filing. Then you will need to set up an installment plan directly on the IRS.gov website. 

If you have already set up a direct deposit to pay the full amount on our site on a filed and accepted return, we are not able to remove the payment in order to set up a payment plan

 

**Important to know: **

Please note that payments must be withdrawn on or before the tax filing deadline, even if you filed a Federal Extension (Form 4868).

Once you have received an accepted acknowledgement from the IRS, we are unable to make any changes to your bank account information. If changes need to be made, please contact IRS.gov directly for further assistance.
