(March 18, 2015) The Internal Revenue Service has reminded taxpayers that it’s possible to pay their taxes electronically. Taxpayers who owe taxes can now choose among several e-pay options. Available payment options include:

• Direct Pay: The newest and easiest option, this free online tool allows individuals to pay their income tax directly from checking or savings accounts without any fees or pre-registration. The tool is available round the clock. Any taxpayer who uses the tool receives instant confirmation that their payment was submitted.

• Electronic Federal Tax Payment System: This free service gives taxpayers a safe and convenient way to pay individual and business taxes by phone or online. To enroll or for more information, call 800-316-6541 or visit www.eftps.gov.

• Electronic funds withdrawal: E-file and e-pay in a single step.

• Credit or debit card: Both paper and electronic filers can pay their taxes by phone or online through any of several authorized credit and debit card processors. Though the IRS does not charge a fee for this service, the card processors do.
