October 6, 2025
There is an executive order requiring that the IRS should cease accepting paper checks. This change affects many taxpayers who make estimated tax payments using paper vouchers. To help you navigate this new process, we've prepared a step-by-step guide (attached) that shows you exactly how to make your estimated tax payment online using your bank account through IRS.gov.
How to Make Your Payment Online:
- Visit IRS.gov
- Select “Make a Payment” and choose “Bank Account (Direct Pay).
- Follow the steps in the attached guide to enter your tax information and payment details.
- Save your payment confirmation for your tax records.
We strongly recommend reviewing the guide below so you are ready to make your payment when needed.
Important:
- Do not mail your 4th quarter estimate payment with a paper voucher.
- Make your payment online to avoid penalties or processing delays.
Please review the instructions carefully and contact our office if you have any questions or need assistance with the online payment process.
