Taxes can be paid by electronic system

If you owe taxes when you file your federal tax return, you can pay electronically using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. The system is a free, secure service provided by the Department of Treasury, according to an Internal Revenue Service news release.

The system can be used by businesses and individuals and can be accessed via phone or the Internet.

Payments include corporate, excise and employment taxes as well as your 1040 quarterly estimated tax payments. You can schedule payments up to 365 days in advance of the due date as an individual or up to 120 days in advance as a business.
