What forms of payment do you accept?

The payment methods on this page are for paying our filing service fee. The service fee covers preparing and filing your extension or return; it does not pay your IRS tax balance.

At checkout, the available service-fee payment methods may include:

• PayPal
• Credit or debit card
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Venmo

IRS tax payment choices in our filing process

If you owe tax and file through our process, choose one of these options:

• Authorize a direct debit from your checking account through Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) in the secure filing form.
• Mail a check to the IRS separately, using the current IRS instructions for your form and tax year.
• Submit no IRS payment through our filing process. Any tax due is still owed by the IRS payment deadline; an extension gives more time to file, not more time to pay.

PayPal, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Venmo pay our service fee at checkout; they do not pay your IRS tax balance through our filing process. If you want to pay the IRS separately, follow the current IRS instructions. See How do I pay taxes I owe when filing an extension? for details.
