Tips about Tipping the IRS

Here are a few tips about paying your taxes:

  1. Never send cash. The IRS accepts checks and electronic payments, including debit or credit cards.
  2. You can pay the IRS through direct withdrawal of your bank account using the IRS Direct Pay method.
  3. If you have someone assist you with your tax return, be sure to ask them how you can pay your tax bill.
  4. If you pay the IRS by debit or credit card, the IRS will hit you with a processing fee.
  5. If you pay the IRS processing fee, you can deduct it on next year’s tax return.
  6. Make your check, money order, or cashier’s check payable to U.S. Treasury.
  7. Be sure to include your social security number on your check, money order, or cashier’s check so the IRS applies your payment to your tax bill.
  8. If you are mailing your payment to the IRS, be sure to include Form 1040-V.
