Filling and paying taxes online is now becoming the fastest growing alternative to paper based filings and payments. Across the United States, this system is gaining wide acceptance more than ever. The reason for this is not farfetched. Accuracy, convenience and the ability to deposit your refund directly are some few reasons why online payments are becoming the preferred method. It is important to state that the IRS online payment is safe as your tax return information is encrypted and transmitted over secure lines to ensure that it is confidential and an acknowledgement is issued when your return is issued and accepted.
Pay Online Directly from Your Bank Account:For individual tax payers, the direct online payment form bank account offers a free, secure electronic paying method. You can use this option to pay your individual tax bill or your estimated tax payment directly from your savings or checking account without any additional cost to you.The good thing about this system is that on payment, you will receive an instant confirmation message that your payment has been submitted. This is also another way of double checking and confirming your payment and it is also important to note that your bank information will not be retained in the Internal Revenue Service system once you have made the payment providing another layer of security to tax payers.
For this option, you also have a “Look up a Payment “Feature which can allow you view payment details and status. One advantage of this feature is that you can cancel or modify your payment there until 2 days before your payment is due.
