Payment Options for Paper Filers

If you're filing your return by mailing paper forms, there are three payment methods available.

All you have to do is select one of the options on the Filing tab, and TaxCut will walk you through the process.

Note: All payment options may not be available to you, as certain restrictions apply to some options.

Paying Your Tax by Check

Mail your federal tax payment with your tax return to the appropriate IRS Service Center. Be sure to include the taxpayers' name, address, Social Security number, daytime telephone number and "2006 Form 1040" (or appropriate form number) on your payment. You will also need to mail a Form 1040-V payment voucher and enclose it in the envelope with your payment and tax return. The payment voucher will print with your return, otherwise:

To print Form 1040-V:

  1. Go to the TaxCut File menu and select the Print option.

Paying Your Tax by Credit Card

You can use a Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover card to pay your federal taxes. There is a convenience fee of 2.49% of your federal tax payment that will be charged to your credit card.

On the pay tax with credit card Web site, you'll enter your federal tax obligation, your social security number and additional identifying information. At this time your convenience fee amount is calculated for the payment.

Once the payment has been processed you'll be provided with a confirmation code. Your credit card statement will show a payment to U.S. TREASURY TAX PAYMENT as further proof of payment. The convenience fee will be included on the statement as a PAY1040 SERVICE FEE.

Notes:

Paying Your Tax by Easy Pay

You can apply for an Easy Pay line of credit, beginning 1/4/2007. You make no required payments for 90 days in connection with an advance to the IRS for taxes due. Pay off the advance within 90 days, and you'll owe no interest, but the annual account fee will still apply. If you decide not to pay off your advance in full during the 90 day same as cash promotion period, you will receive monthly statements, so you can pay off your advance with applicable interest in convenient monthly payments.

If you need money later, you can access a portion of Easy Pay with convenient checks you'll receive in the mail throughout the year. You can write the checks just like any other check for anything you choose, except payments on the account
