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Please note that payments must be withdrawn on or before the tax filing deadline, even if you filed a Federal Extension (Form 4868).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