Credit card payment

So I paid my federal income tax through TurboTax with a credit card. It came back as a charge to "Internal Revenue Service Federal Credit Union." Is that right? I was expecting it to be paid to the U.S. Treasury or something.

    Typically if you are receiving a refund it will show U.S. Treasury. According to the IRS, there are a few ways it can appear on your statement. For more information, please visit the IRS link below or contact the IRS directly:

    I'm not receiving a refund but instead paying the tax. I did this on a credit card through the TurboTax program. I was surprised that the charge against my credit card was a payment to the "Internal Revenue Service Federal Credit Union." Maybe this is the intermediary for processing it to the treasury, but I wanted to check.

    To be sure, please call the IRS to confirm receipt of your tax payment. 

    How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?
