Sponsor spotlight Tax bill payment options expand digitally

Taxpayers can utilize various payment options for their tax bills this season, including electronic funds withdrawal, checks, credit and debit cards, digital wallets, and cash. Electronic funds withdrawal is free, while credit card payments incur fees of 1. 75% to 1. 85%, plus a minimum charge of $2. 50.

Debit card transactions carry fees between $2. 10 and $2. 15. Payments made via digital wallets typically involve a fee of $1. 50, while cash payments require an appointment at designated locations.

Taxpayers can make payments through online IRS accounts for added security. The IRS still accepts walk-in cash payments, emphasizing the need for prior appointments. Additionally, there are limits on credit card transactions, requiring approvals for payments exceeding $100,000. For those struggling to pay their taxes, installment payment plans are also an option.
