Pay your Taxes by Debit or Credit Card
Choose your payment processor and pay now
You can pay by debit or credit card whether you e-file, paper file or are responding to a bill or notice. It's safe and secure - the IRS uses standard service providers and commercial card networks.
- Your payment will be processed by a payment processor who will charge a processing fee, which may be tax deductible. The fees vary by service provider.
- Your information will only be used to process your payment.
- No part of the service fee goes to the IRS.
- The types of payments (Individual or Business) and limits on how many debit or credit card payments you can make in a year, quarter, or month, vary according to the type of tax you are paying.

Additional Considerations
- High balance payments of $100,000 or greater may require special coordination with the service provider you choose.
- You cannot make Federal Tax Deposits with a debit or credit card.
- You cannot get an immediate release of a Federal Tax Lien by making a debit or credit card payment. Please refer to Publication 1468 for the recommended payment option when this is necessary.
- Making an electronic payment eliminates your need to use a voucher.
- On your monthly debit or credit card statement, the payment to the IRS will be listed as "United States Treasury Tax Payment." The convenience fee paid to the service provider will be listed as "Tax Payment Convenience Fee" or something similar.
- If you made an overpayment, IRS will refund it after the return is processed, except in circumstances such as offsets or debt on your account.
